The RCMP says it has “shut down illegal police activity in Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia” connected to so-called Chinese “police stations” — but it hasn’t said whether it has made any arrests.
In April, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino told a parliamentary committee the federal police service had taken decisive action to close down the alleged stations.
Why the hell are they so secret?
Who are they sucking up to?
The community organizations in the Montreal area being investigated by the RMCP for hosting suspected Chinese police stations have had formal ties since at least 2016 to a Chinese regime entity which the Canadian government says is involved in espionage.
The federal police force indicated in March it’s investigating Centre Sino-Québec de la Rive-Sud (CSQRS) and its sister organization in Montreal, the Service à la famille chinoise du Grand Montréal (SFCGM), two not-for-profits which have been tending to the needs of Chinese immigrants for decades.
OTTAWA—Meta, the tech giant that owns Facebook and Instagram, will soon start blocking the sharing and posting of news content for some Canadians on those platforms as part of a testing strategy that could become permanent — and rolled out nationwide — if Ottawa’s online news bill passes unchanged.
In the coming days, Meta will introduce the tests in preparation for the potential passage of Bill C-18, or the Online News Act, which it opposes.
It was either a knockout moment for the political history books or a “despicable” low blow unbecoming in the House of Commons.
It depends on which side of the aisle you are on.
WOW. You won’t believe how Pierre Poilievre responded regarding Trudeau’s stint as a high school teacher. 🔥🔥🔥 pic.twitter.com/utzfXOfVJP

There are photos floating about of an underaged young lady Trudeau is alleged to have diddled accompanied by the unproven allegation that an NDA and large payout were involved in Justin’s sudden exit from his teaching position.
Why has no one sued over the Trudeau and alleged victim photo? Disclosure issues?
The trend of questioning the Canadian identity has escalated to the point that some major cities have attempted to cancel or actually cancelled Canada Day celebrations. Historians say the trend’s roots go back decades, but it has gathered significantly more momentum in recent years.
“We have had politicized discussions about our national identity many, many times,” Christopher Dummitt, a history professor at Trent University, told The Epoch Times.
OTTAWA – The head of Canada’s public broadcaster will remain in her role for another 18 months, after her contract was extended by the federal heritage minister.
Catherine Tait was appointed as the CEO and president of CBC/Radio-Canada in July 2018 for a five-year term typical to the role.
She is the first woman to serve in the role.
NDP leader Jagmeet Singh has said he won’t end his party’s deal with the Liberals and potentially trigger an election, until confidence in the electoral process is restored.
Don’t hold your breath.
A new Léger poll for the National Post suggests Singh’s hope is analogous to the old trope that the beatings will continue until morale improves.
A wind-swept pier at a naval port in Gdynia, Poland was the scene last December of an extraordinary display — one that Canada’s defence community looks upon today with envy.
Lined up track-to-track on the pier that day, their gun barrels elevated, were two-dozen Thunder K9-A1 self-propelled howitzers manufactured in South Korea. Nearby, 10 Black Panther K2 54-tonne main battle tanks were parked.
The armoured vehicles and big guns represented the vanguard of a $13 billion US blockbuster defence agreement between Warsaw and Seoul.
OTTAWA — Barely one in four Canadians have faith in former governor general David Johnston’s credibility and impartiality as special rapporteur on foreign interference, a new poll by Léger for National Post shows, while nearly half are unimpressed with the Liberal government’s general handling of the foreign interference issue.
I was surprised, saddened and puzzled when former governor general David Johnston, who was clearly in a perceived conflict of interest, accepted the prime minister’s request to become a “special rapporteur.” Surprised he would make such an obvious mistake, saddened he would risk tarnishing his reputation as a dedicated and effective governor general and puzzled about his motivation. Those reactions intensified when his preliminary report rejected a public inquiry called for by a majority vote in Parliament and over 70 per cent of Canadians. I was also disappointed that it defended the government on virtually every issue while criticizing the media, the security services and the Conservative party. It also made clear his conviction he has no conflict of interest, notwithstanding much evidence and a widespread perception to the contrary.
Right through the 2021 federal election campaign, senior Trudeau government officials knew that the Chinese government and its operatives in Canada were running a sophisticated disinformation and voter suppression campaign targeting the Conservative Party and its candidates, former Conservative leader Erin O’Toole told me on Tuesday.
That much was clear from the briefing the Canadian Security Intelligence Service made available to him last Friday, O’Toole told me. But what remains unclear is why none of these officials said anything — and that’s just one key question that remains unresolved following last week’s report on Beijing’s election-interference operations by “independent special rapporteur” David Johnston.
This revelation should result in arrests except we’re ruled by corrupt men.
The recent decision by a Catholic school board in Ontario’s York Region not to fly the pride flag during Pride Month in June is emblematic of a province-wide call to halt flag-raisings and other events expected in schools throughout the month.
Many parents are looking at pulling their children out of school during such events. A national walk-out is scheduled for June 1 and gaining traction.
OTTAWA — The Federal Court of Appeal has overturned a judge’s declaration that four Canadian men being held in Syrian camps are entitled to Ottawa’s help to return home.
In a ruling released today, a three-member panel of the Court of Appeal says the federal government is not obligated under the law to repatriate the men.
In the oil-rich Canadian prairie province of Alberta, voters placed their confidence in Danielle Smith’s Right-wing populist United Conservative Party, which won re-election on Monday night against its Left-wing opposition, the New Democratic Party.
Stellantis NV is likely to receive more in subsidies for a new electric-vehicle battery plant in Canada than the C$13 billion ($9.5 billion) Volkswagen AG extracted for a similar project, according to an expert who has crunched the numbers.
Stellantis and South Korean partner LG Energy Solution Ltd. announced the factory in Windsor, Ontario last year, but have halted construction while they negotiate more financial aid from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government. The companies are seeking the equivalent of what they would receive under the Inflation Reduction Act if they located the plant in the US.
