Phil introduces the program by mentioning an important event coming up Tuesday, the "Dec. 1 Day of Action to Free Meng Wanzhou." We need to restore our Trump-damaged relations with China.
Phil evaluates Niki Ashton's statement of support for the recent panel on Nov. 24. She called out Sinophobia - racism against Asian-Canadians. She stressed that Canada should be peaceful: Any country, properly-led, would recoil against "pivoting towards China" and sending warships into the South-China-Sea. Like Niki, we must say "no" to a New Cold War.
At 7:45, Phil comments on the assassination of the Iranian scientist. The U.S. sending of warships into the area is a deliberate escalation and provocation.
