This is important.💥💥💥

Butts is informing the public about the economic performance of Canada, despite two investor nations economic sanctions and statecraft to force Canada to adopt their agenda.

The US & China are using economic statecraft to manipulate Canada into submission. It’s not working. This is very good news!

Both are working in unison to pressure LPC into ceding Canada to their control. MSM is oblivious or complicit to these efforts. Impacted, but not fatally.

This is the same way US uses economic sanctions on Iran, North Korea, Russia & Venezuela. Except this is a coalition of two economic giants aiming to strip the entire Canadian nation of its resources. Sounds crazy huh? Except it’s not. I can prove it. Quite easily.

Read the criticism of the China FIPA by Gus Van Harten. Van Harten was a frequent & vocal critic of the China FIPA Harper negotiated, signed and enacted in Canada. From 2012, when he was able to review the proposed agreement, he’s been warning Canadians to take heed.

At one point, MSM reported on the detrimental FIPA agreement Harper signed on Russian soil, and the 31 year binding restrictions it put on Canadian sovereignty.

Since it’s obvious MSM has moved to perpetually shill for all things Con, they won’t touch it now. But here are some past articles & reports.

Here is VanHarten’s detailed analysis recommending to amend the imbalance in the agreement and the danger to Canadian sovereignty.

It isn’t even on MSM radar. But the impact of the China FIPA are currently in place. Here’s an article detailing how China is using economic sanctions globally to achieve its agenda: Re-order of world power dynamics.

Huawei executive extradition, Trump/US sanctions on Canada, Chinese sanctions on Canadian agribusiness, illegal imprisonment of Canadians in China, Canadian govt purchase of TMX, Chinese nationals protesting support for Hong Kong democracy on Canadian soil & instigating violence.

That’s all due to FIPA that Harper signed with China. It’s for 31 years, unable to be broken, overrides Canadian legal system, imposes punitive financial penalties on Canada for impeding China’s profit, turns Canada into a tributary state of China and its vassal states (aka US).

Van Harten wrote a book to document his concerns. “Sold Down The Yangtze River.”

Harper rushed approval of FIPA through parliament without debate.

Harper sold Canada’s sovereignty to China for 31 years without consulting Canadians or even the provinces.

Canada is stuck with a 31 year agreement binding our resources and economy to China as a tributary state. Yeah! Read that again.

Canada is no longer a completely sovereign nation. The FIPA overrules our court system. All disputes are taken to international tribunal. In secret.

The FIPA prevents all government entities from revealing the terms of the agreement, discussing the agreement, or informing the public about any conflicts taken to the tribunal until they are decided in final.

China gets to conduct its business in Canada in secret.

China FIPA wasn’t the only secretive agreement Harper signed. The military procurement agreement with Saudi Arabia (another vassal state to China) is also unable to reveal the terms or discuss disputes.

How many other secret deals did CPC sign? You & IDK, they’re secrets!

One of the ways to mitigate the effect of the CHINA FIPA on Canadians and Canadian sovereignty, is to attract foreign investment from other countries. It keeps the economy running and lessens the dependence Canada has on China for investment in the economy.

Notice Butts graph & the higher foreign investment during Harper govt. That’s China.

Notice how it immediately drops off when LPC wins 2015 election. That’s China performing statecraft. Holding Canada hostage to their demands.

Steadily, investment climbs over 4 years.

That’s Trudeau’s government at work mitigating China’s statecraft & preserving the sovereignty and national security of Canada from economic pressures from China’s drop in investment when the government changed.

An effort for which he cannot claim credit or even acknowledge the threat. Because Harper signed a secretive FIPA forbidding public disclosure under threat of hefty financial penalty.

Trudeau has retained Canadian sovereignty in tact. For now.

At the same time, LPC raised close to 1M people out of poverty, helped create over 1M jobs, reduced unemployment to the lowest levels in over 4 decades, injected more money into the economy by reducing middle class taxes & introduced a carbon levy with subsequent rebates.

Remember, Cons (i.e. Scheer et al) are fully aware of the restrictions placed on Canada by the China FIPA. CPC signed FIPA.

Cons are attacking LPC economic record because it’s over performing beyond their and China’s wildest dreams.

CPC & Scheer are gaslighting the public.

Canada is one of the most economically sound countries on the globe. Best in G7, lowest unemployment in decades, increased investment unreliant on FF development, diversified economy, maintained or increased public services & programs unimpacted by economic statecraft.

The only option CPC has is to gaslight the electorate. Get citizens to believe, even when confronted by contrary facts, that the economy is tanking, the debt is insurmountable, Trudeau and Morneau are killing the economy.

Review every economic claim CPC has made the last 4 yrs.

They’re all lies. Big lies.

CPC is using gaslighting tactics to grift the nation. So the deal they signed can be actualized: Assume tributary state role to China and its vassal states, strip Canada of all its resources and dismantle the Constitution & Charter.

Further proof is offered by AB.

Kenney and UCP publicly confirmed adherence to the FIPA would be codified in the Alberta constitution during recent campaign for election. Kenney confirms he would push for Property Rights to be codified nationally. CPC supports this effort.

Notice the statement about compensation to investors for government regulation. And expropriation of private property by the government.

Those are rights requested by China so they are not impeded in stripping Canada of its resources.

CPC can not be elected to power.
