4. Might have something to do with the fact that China supplied Canada with millions of defective masks

Or the fact that the Chinese gov't is charging Canada millions of dollars in exchange for their 'generosity' in 'loaning' the pandas to Canada. On top of the cost of caring for them.

All while the pandemic is costing Canada dearly, so maybe the idea of taxpayers having to pay to babysit China's pandas isn't really doing too well in the court of public opinion....

Just spitballing here...
