Of course when Canada threatens you with war, they call it “inclusivity.”

That really should be parody, but instead it’s real life.

Reuters:

A Canadian warship passed through the Taiwan Strait in what Ottawa called a commitment to an open Indo-Pacific, drawing a rebuke from China that the naval exercise on July 31 undermined peace.

Canada’s defense ministry said the HMCS Montreal frigate had “recently conducted a routine transit” through the strait in what its defence minister said was a reaffirmation of Canada’s commitment to a “free, open and inclusive” Indo-Pacific.

…

Li Xi, a spokesperson for the People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) Eastern Theater Command, said the passage of the Canadian frigate on July 31 had “harassed and disrupted the situation and undermined peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.”

It looks like war but it’s really very nice and friendly “inclusiveness.”

But that’s the same thing I said about immigration.

It sure as hell looked like a war, but they called it “inclusiveness.”
