The federal government has unveiled its long-awaited Indo-Pacific Strategy, which details a decade of plans for investment and partnerships in the region, and signals a tougher stance on China going forward.

In an interview with CTV’s Question Period with Joyce Napier, airing Sunday, Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly said the document simply puts in writing what Canada and its allies have long been moving toward when it comes to how they will engage with China.

China owns our ass

Jody is an incompetent and inept individual...calling a ♠️ a ♠️

In what way does this do anything for Canadians? This wastes money, attention and resources and only makes us less safe. You can't get further away from Canada than the so-called IndoPacific.

If a conservative said that they'd be called a 'racist'.

Xi owned Trudeau for being too trans-parent.

Sounds like our actor PM is about to put on another skit for Canadians again…”look at me, I’m standing up to my masters”

The rustling of Dead leaves has little meaning.

🤡😂

So cutting the wifi at Chinese police stations on Canadian soil... 🤣

Is she having sex with Trudeau?

We can do that again?

the time to right a wrong CTV maybe too late... your viewership and social engagement is small.

What a douche

She should go for Prime Minister !! (before sniffy goes for it)

You and the other cabinet ministers all abstained on the vote to declare the atrocities against the Uyghurs in China constitute a genocide. If you are finally open to speaking frankly, will you now use the “g” word? melaniejoly

Pathetic.

All talk no action

racist

Why not trudy calls everyone names and get away with it

She's just jelly that Trudeau got a spankin by Xi.

Zero credibility

China owns Blackface and he will do as he's told.

rachaiello 🤣🤣🤣🤣🙈

Chinese on our soil are destroying our housing market and the future of our next generation, not China as a nation. Pay attention to our own people’s interest, not pretending to be a big baby on world stage.

Did you tell Justine? He loves Jina.

Ask Anita how many tanks you can turn on your own citizens
