Angry notes about the controversial Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (FIPA) were among more than 100 Facebook comments purged from the party's page in less than a week, an analysis by Postmedia News found.
The deal with China has caused some internal dissent within the party, with some arguing it is unbalanced and concedes too much to the
Asian superpower. The agreement was ratified by the Conservative government last week, with little fanfare.
"You sold us out to China, you will be remembered by Canadians and this treaty if passed will come up at every federal election for the next 30 years, you have made us a serfdom, time for the Cons to retire," wrote Facebook user Paula Moffatt, before administrators deleted her remarks.
"This man is a traitor and an agent for communist China, and you treat him like he's the Lord of Glory. you poor blind fools," wrote Wayne Anderson before his comments were scrubbed.
"I never thought I'd see the day when My own country would sneak a deal like this behind the Canadian peoples back," wrote Levi Orr in a comment later removed. "No loyalty to her people none at all, border line treason and don't you dare tell me different, this country should look out for each other and watch each other's backs, LOYALTY" "Stephen Harper is a good man, too bad he sold us all out to the Chinese," Adam Shepherd commented. "Why isn't he bragging about that on here? Oh ya because he did it sneakily behind the whole country's back ... can't wait to pay the bills when China sues us for doing something in our country that offends them ... now that's quality leadership!!"
