Why do those trucks look photoshopped in? And badly. Especially the one on the left.

[–] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 1 points 15 hours ago

Because they are. The article links to actual photos.

Human rights must be an integral, non-negotiable part in any trade agreement imho. This is the case here with the Canada-UAE agreement but also in agreements with all other current and potential partner countries. At the moment Mr. Carney speaks with a lot of governments, in particular with China's that is not exactly famous for respecting the rule of law.

[Edit for clarity.]

I wonder if there's a reason why the dominion of Canada would selectively (racistly) recognise human rights violations in its political agreements.

You should probably rewrite this though, second sentence can read like youre saying the UAE -- infamously dependent on slave labour -- upholds human rights in its trade agreements.

What I mean is that Canada should uphold human rights not only with its trade with the UAE but also with other countries like China. So the statement was not a reference to the UAE trade policy.

Yes I know, but that isn't necessarily clear in your first comment and I was warning that some might read this as what I said above.

Thanks, corrected the initial comment for clarity.
