1. This is heartening. Conservatives would nix bogus "supply chain management" rules to actually stop slave goods from entering Canadian markets. Weirdly, Ottawa's "Emancipation Day" noise last weekend was a distraction from modern-day slavery. cbc.ca/news/politics/…
2. Note to CBC editors: It's not just "some seafood harvested in Southeast Asia and some personal protective equipment". Weird that a certain country (five letters, starts with 'C', ands in 'A' isn't even mentioned.)
3. It's about the clothes everybody wears. It's about Tommy Hilfiger, Adidas, Esprit, Calvin Klein, Nike, Uniqlo, H&M, Lacoste. nationalpost.com/opinion/terry-…
4. Not a single Canadian manufacturer has signed the “call to action” from the Coalition to End Forced Labor in the Uyghur Region, which is occupied by a certain globe-encircling military-industrial hegemon (five letters, middle three "h", "i," & "n". nationalpost.com/news/canada/ri…
Should also mention the Euro-America is the primary beneficiary of China’s gulag archipelago & the sweatshops elsewhere in Asia; 160 million children are labourers, 79 million are engaged in hazardous work. “The scandal is that we have the answer to this." ituc-csi.org/scandalous-chi…
Brings to mind the Testimony of Patience Kershaw to the Mines Commission, 1842. She was 17, never went to school. She was a miner.

1/24 The thread that follows contains some things I've been wanting to get off my chest about the China beat, and "journalism," and certain people journalists and grad school panels rely on for insight.
Prompted by this:
2/24 The column linked above is an apologia for the discreditable ideas of the (won’t say disgraced; too mean) former Asia Pacific Foundation president (unmentioned) Senator Yuen Pau Woo, in which the author, an Asia Pacific Foundation research fellow (also left unmentioned)...

Of course I love Shane MacGowan's Fairytale of New York & its majestic pathos and melancholy and it could be the greatest Christmas song. But it's not really about Christmas. For a song about Christmas & what it really means, there's a sublime hillbilly hymn for that. 1/4
