GUNTER: Johnston sings ‘Sound of Silence’ on China

I don’t trust former governor general David Johnston to conduct a proper inquiry into allegations that China’s Communist government has meddled in Canadian democratic affairs.

Johnston should never have been brought in to investigate claims by intelligence agencies that Canada’s democratic institutions – particularly the Liberal party of Canada – have been infiltrated by agents and surrogates of the Chinese Communist Party.

What a deceitful hack.

Johnston is a paid up member of the China Class and should never have been involved in this matter.

Citizen Group to File Complaint With Ethics Commissioner Over Johnston’s Role as Special Rapporteur

A national democracy advocacy organization is filing a complaint with the federal ethics commissioner’s office, alleging that former governor general David Johnston is violating the Conflict of Interest Act in carrying out his appointed role as special rapporteur on foreign election interference because of his previous connections to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s family.

The NGO Democracy Watch announced it would be filing the complaint on May 23—the same day Johnston released his first report on his ongoing investigation into reports of interference in Canada’s 2019 and 2021 elections. Trudeau appointed Johnston as special rapporteur on the matter in March.

He’s so full of shit.

Opposition MPs Call on Minister to Testify on Reported Delayed Wiretap Authorization on Michael Chan

Opposition MPs are calling on Emergency Preparedness Minister Bill Blair to appear at committee at the “earliest possible opportunity” over a new report alleging he took months to approve surveillance measures against an important Liberal Party-connected figure in Toronto.

“Canadians need to know why it took so long for the Minister to sign off on this, when it could have been done in a matter of days,” opposition MPs on the House of Commons Procedure and House Affairs Committee (PROC) wrote in a May 19 letter to committee chair Liberal MP Bardish Chagger.

Secret Chinese police stations ‘funnel Canadian public funds’

Embarrassment for Justin Trudeau as Quebec charity suspected of hosting sites set up to intimidate citizens benefits from government money

A Quebec charity suspected of hosting two secret Chinese “overseas police stations” has received more than $4.45 million (£2.65 million) from the Canadian government over the last three years.

According to the Montreal Gazette, the Service à la Famille Chinoise du Grand Montréal (SFCGM), which purports to provide support to the Chinese community, is really used by Beijing to monitor and intimidate its citizens in Canada.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) believe this is one of two secret police stations in Quebec, which has nearly 92,000 people of Chinese origin.

More and more this has begun to look like Liberal Party cooperation with the ChiComs.

CSIS had kept tabs on expelled Chinese diplomat Zhao Wei for 3 years

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service has a significant counterintelligence file on Chinese consulate official Zhao Wei, and since 2020 has shared that information with Global Affairs Canada, the department with the authority to expel foreign representatives for engaging in non-diplomatic activities, according to two national security sources.

Canada seeks entry into AUKUS alliance to help keep China in check

The Canadian government is seeking to join the non-nuclear component of AUKUS, a security pact between Australia, Britain and the United States that was struck to counter China’s rising military might in the Indo-Pacific region, according to two government sources.

Canada was conspicuously absent when AUKUS was first announced in September, 2021. The three member countries are among this country’s closest allies, and like Canada they are members of the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing partnership. National-security experts feared Canada, a laggard on defence spending, was being excluded from a new “Three Eyes” group.

They know the extent of China’s infiltration of Canada and reasonably refuse to put their nation’s at risk by allowing the Trudeau government AUKUS membership.
