Both the United States and Australia have identified this company as a security risk.

The Canadian communications security establishment has identified this company as a security risk

What does Dalton McSquinty do? Gives them millions of taxpayer dollars.

He's really gone and outdone himself this time.

No, not this time; he outdoes himself ALL the time.

I'd swear McDumbass was trying to best Rae as the worst Premier in Ontario's history.
The fucker is playing fast and loose with taxpayer money and Ontarians are getting SFA out of it except higher hydro rates and cutbacks on gov't services.

Does Ontario really need another telecom company? If the answer is "yes", then why the hell are we giving the job to the goddam Chinese???

Word on the street is Samsung's accounts were already too full of taxpayer cash, so they had to find someone else to take it. Huawei gladly volunteered to take the funds off our hands.

McGuinty: National security isn't my problem.

Ok, you guys need to shit or get off the pot when it comes to China. Or wake up to the shit you are being spoon-fed from the likes of widely discredited rags like the Sun. You froth at the mouth when anybody raises concerns about growing Chinese economic power (see: Nexen takeover,outsourcing and offshoring, etc), yet at the same time you will conveniently seize the opportunity to blast any "liberal" who is not actively waging war against China.

LET'S BE CLEAR: HARPER AND THE CONSERVATIVES HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THIS COMPANY.

So now we are to believe from this right-wing drivel that it's somehow the Province of Ontario's responsiblity to wage war against China and not the Harperite federal goverment? Do we not see the Harper Conservatives grovelling in China for business deals and reciprocating with subsidies and grants for Chinese "job creation" here in Canada??

This whole thread can fuck right off.

Your claim that the Federal Government is good with this company isn't quite true.

Huawei faces exclusion from planned Canada government network

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada indicated strongly on Tuesday it would exclude Chinese telecom equipment giant Huawei Technologies Co Ltd HWT.UL from helping to build a secure Canadian government communications network because of possible security risks.

You are right. It isn't McGuinty's job to ensure the security of Canada and if he wants to spend Ontario Taxpayers money on a questionable Chinese Company then more power to him since it's his decision but, if his largess compromises national security in any way shape or form then I wonder how it'll be explained away.

This shouldn't be a partisan issue since national security is the responsibility of every citizen and if the Conservatives are stupid enough to use this company after the red flags that have been put up they should be drawn and quartered but by the same token McGuinty shouldn't get a pass just because he's Ontario's Premier and a Liberal.

Hey, if the Feds don't block a foreign company from setting up shop on home soil ( which is their right AND responsibility to do) then the feds are implicitly endorsing the company and no provincial, municipal or private sector actor has grounds to oppose it for national security or national interest reasons (which is not their jurisdiction). The Conservative reponse on this item is pretty tepid, suggesting that they have no plans to do much except mug for the cameras in response to the headline du jour:

"The government's going to be choosing carefully in the construction of this network, and it has invoked the national security exception for the building of this network," Andrew MacDougall, spokesman for the Conservative prime minister, said.

"I'll leave it to you if you think ... Huawei should be a part of a Canadian government security system," MacDougall said.

I'll say this: so far I haven't seen anything to suggest this company is a real treat, just a lot of jabber-mouthing from US politicians with less than a month before same politicians are up for eleciton, so we should thake this whole thing with a grain of salt.
