What did the Conservative member say that requires censure?

The Conservative member DARED to say that China is a human-rights abuser!!!!

Doesn't he know it's the terrorist Tibetan Buddhist monks and that evil Dalai Lama that are responsible for the millions dead since the communists came to power?

Liberals and NDP say Tory MP should be reined in over Olympic comments.

OTTAWA � The Tories have blundered on the international stage once again with a Calgary MP's comments comparing the Beijing Olympics to the infamous Nazi Games of 1936, Liberal Bob Rae said Friday.

Rae, his party's foreign affairs critic, said the comparison by Ron Anders, along with his description of China as the worst human-rights abuser in the world, sends the wrong message and will damage already-strained relations with China.

"This government's gaffes keep growing by the hour," said Rae. "The Conservatives seem determined to not only diminish Canada's reputation in the eyes of the world but also to do serious damage to some of our key international relationships."

Rae said Prime Minister Stephen Harper must start holding his MPs to account for their remarks.

"If we want to make real progress regarding human rights, we must engage China, not insult it.

"This government's penchant for engaging foreign governments through the media shows a fundamental lack of understanding of the basics of international diplomacy."

In the Commons, the government said Anders was expressing his own opinion.

"The comments made by the member for Calgary West are his own views and do not reflect the views of the government of Canada," said Deepak Obhrai, parliamentary secretary to Maxime Bernier, the minister of Foreign Affairs.

"Canada has serious concerns for human rights and we will continue with dialogue with China on that issue."

Anders, a veteran MP with a penchant for inflammatory remarks - he once described Nelson Mandela as a terrorist - made his China comments in separate TV and radio interviews on Thursday.

Rae said this is another blunder following Bernier's widely condemned public comments about the need to oust a local governor in Afghanistan.

"Now we have a senior government MP and chair of the Veterans Affairs committee further damaging our already-strained relationship with China by comparing its government to Nazis," Rae said. "Such a comparison trivializes one of the most horrific regimes mankind has known."

Anders was only speaking the truth,(and as far as I'm concerned Nelson Mandela WAS a terrorist!),but the Liberals and NDP will jump to the defence of China.In their view socialism would not allow human rights abuses therefore it must be Conservative propoganda! Monashee

Hmm let's see what's the worst we Canadians could suffer? No more cheap junk to place on the shelves in Walmart and Costco.
Maybe we could then start manufacturing our own products and employ more of our people.
Or less immigrants from China with two children since they are considered political refugees.

You said it all. Our manufacturing jobs have all gone to china and other offshore cheap labour. Try and find a pair of boots from Canada. I can't print here what i think of bob rae or any other eastern government types

We all seem to forget, it's a commie dictatorship,what with all the profits busisness can earn.

Rae (and his elitist masters) probably has huge business interests in China that he doesn't want mucked up.

Bingo! Rae's brother is VP at Power Corporation.

Rae is a former NDP leader from Ontario. He's a commie anyway. Why wouldn't he stick up for his Commrades?

Wouldn't the proper description be "turncoat" or perhaps "traitor"?? rather than commie? Just like our friend Dosanjh from BC......both of whom were just speakin' with forked tongues while they held office with the NDP.

NDP are ultra-socialistic. To me that is commie. Turncoat is just someone that sells out to a buck.

Hypocrite commie. He wants to enslave us in his socialist utopia, but profit from capitalism himself.

Ask the folks of Ontario how Bob Rae did as Premier...who listens to him? Not me! Pathetic!!!

MANDELLA and the ANC murdered 10's of thousands, as did the South African police-military.

Who cares what China thinks about us!

I say forget free trade and immigration. We can live nicely off our own resourses and population.
