    I’m of two minds on this; the Cons would seem to support business at the detriment of the Canadian public, so offshoring would bolster profits of these businesses and therefore desirable to both sides. But Canadian conservatives seem to have a healthy distrust of the CCP, which doesn’t seem to be so big of a hot button for the Liberals, especially give the high support they enjoy from immigrants, which are largely Chinese. So it could go both ways. Obviously the CCP have latched on to the Liberals, but I actually think they could make more inroads more easily by greasing the Conservatives financially and by making it easier for Canadian firms to do business in China.

    Both parties are schizophrenic when it comes to the Chinese. I think when it comes to getting elected (the primary driver of the LPC), they’ll publicly support China, but when they’re in power they’ll do what they can to keep them down in the interests of Canadians.
