I thought this deserved its own topic.

WTF

Canada is China's chew toy.

Apparently, China has set up many of these “police stations” in several foreign countries.

The original story is from the New York Post, a paper with a history of sensationalism and writing right-wing BS.
https://nypost.com/2022/09/30/china-has-opened-police-stations-in-us-and-canada-to-monitor-chinese-citizens-report/

The story is based on a report from a small human rights organization called Safeguard Defenders.

The only other references that I could see were other right-wing media outlets picking it up.

Why is that? I think it is likely because there’s not much meat behind the story…. it comes from a dubious source with zero specifics as to what these alleged police stations are doing.

Could it be true? Of course! China isn’t a fair or reasonable actor.

Should you believe it? Probably not yet, in my opinion.

I would tend to agree if it wasn't the G&M reporting it as well. It will make good election fodder and the government better have some believable answers.

Accurate or not, waldo doesn't seem to have a problem with the idea.

I guess low-information memers will assume that these "police stations" would havevsome kind of jurisdiction in Canada?
Not really sure what they think.

The G&M didn’t report anything. It was an opinion piece that had zero details.
