1. forget the US, theyre dead. Canada must form strong bonds with asian markets/russia, the tables have turned and thats where the money is!!
2. What china canads best friend know.
3. it is the right move to China...He finally got some brains...
4. Who cares where our oil goes? The point is, it's not going to Canadians at a discounted rate. Even the dictator, Hugo Chavez of Venezuela sells oil to his own people at a deeply reduced price and then the rest goes to free market to the highest bidder. As usual, Canadian taxpayers are being raped by an arrogant Harper government.
5. He's a drunk, needs money to supply his habit. Like any drunk , he doesn't care where he gets it. even from a scum bag country like china.

10. Stephen Harper is Canada's Adolf Hitler.
11. Here's the reason why Harper is talking to China. Obama pissed him off. Harper wanted to talk to Obama again, and Obama refuses meeting with Harper. Pissed off Harper more. Also, Harper does not support the NDAA in America, as well as the Predator Drones Act thats coming up. Which will give permission on Predator Drones usage on American soil (without reason of war.) I personally don't like Harper that much either. He is trying to make a point, "You don't want our oil, you don't get our oil."
12. harper is a war crimminal for bombing lybia , iraq , afganistan and killing babies and families in iraq and afganistan . using depleted uranium bombs ...he's a whore of the U.S.A ......! and he wears that wig on his head from mans hair club !
13. Even though I do not like Harper, he is just doing what needs to be done. Since the USA hasn't made an innovative energy source to ween itself from oil and other fossil fuels, China is just waiting for the opportunity to steal that. On top of that, China is trying to absorb "all" of the energy centers of the world into its fold and hoard all the money that comes with it. Does anyone really think that China would play fair in many ways? I would not kiss the feet of Communist officials there.
14. Fuck Fuhrer Harper
15. I wonder if the prime minister has human organ harvesting from political prisoners and other such unfortunates upon his agenda . So what is it , human organs or oil or both ? China will sell you a human heart installed , for the right amount of money or oil . Is it possible that it is all about humans resources and not human rights ? And what dose it say about our future when we provide the lubricant to let it all slide by .........
16. He's over there doing Manulife's whining and begging!
17. let him stay there
18. Thank you President Obama... way to pass on cheap oil from a long time friendly nation. your fucking green agenda is progressing SOOO WELLLLL! you helped destabilize the middle east with all your support for this Arab spring and then Snub the Canadians? Guess what OBAMA the oil is used regardless of if it goes to China or the US. now they can use the Oil to full their economy so the sucker west can buy their cheap solar panels. China must be laughing their ass's off, I know I would be.
19. Stephen Harper aka the dirty Snake Oil salesman from Alberta currently making house calls in China...
20. While it's good that human rights issues are raised, Harper would have more credibility if he applied the same standards to Israel. It's important to note that the last election, in which Harper's Conservatives won a majority, was originally called because of Harper's "contempt of Parliament", an unfathomable development in the Canadian political scene.

The visit can be seen as a change in attitude for Canada, which has a record of taking a hard stance on the Chinese regime's human rights abuses, as it looks as if economic ties between the two nations are warming. Harper said he still plans to bring up human rights issues during the trip. The Canadian Prime Minister's plane touched down in Beijing on Tuesday. It's the second time Stephen Harper has visited China since becoming Prime Minister, and he's on a mission to sell Canadian oil. Currently 97% of Canadian oil exports go to the United States, but with Obama's recent rejection of a pipeline carrying Canadian oil across the continental US, Harper is looking east to emerging markets in Asia and especially China. Harper is with an entourage of 40 Canadian business leaders who will be meeting Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao to discuss trade. NTD senior China commentator Wen Zhao says Canada's push to sell energy resources is coming at the right time for China. [Wen Zhao, Senior China Analyst]: "From last year to today, after incidents in Libya and Iran, the reliability of China's oil imports from the Middle East has been threatened. So for mainland China, they really need a stable and reliable provider of crude oil." An energy deal between the two countries will also contribute to closing Canada's trade deficit with China. As with visits by other world leaders to the communist-ruled nation, Harper is under pressure not to let business interests dampen Canadian efforts to pressure the Chinese regime over human rights. Harper said in an interview before he left for China that the issue will be raised during the visit, and for China's economic progress to continue, the regime's human rights record will eventually have to improve. [Stephen Harper, Canadian Prime Minister]: "Whenever we meet with our Chinese counterparts we obviously raise these issues generally and we raise a number of specific cases. There are obviously human rights and other specific consular cases that are of some significant concern to this government and we raise those things regularly, including in all of the appropriate leaders' meetings and we will continue to do that. And my judgment is this, that I obviously welcome the growth of the Chinese economy but I remain convinced as we've seen in our own history and around the world, that in the long term, economic and political progress are linked. One helps the other and ultimately if they don't both move together, one will retard the other. So I think this is in everybody's interest, to see progress in those areas." Harper and his party have had a history of taking a hard-line stance regarding the Chinese regime's human rights record, with Harper skipping the Olympics in 2008 and being criticized by Wen Jiabao in 2009 for taking too long to visit. This current visit and the size of the Canadian delegation may represent a change in attitude towards China. Harper will conclude his visit to China on February 11th.
