Canada set to name foreign labs, universities that pose risk to national security

The government of Canada is in “advanced stages” of drafting a list of entities that pose a risk to national security, and top universities are prepared to avoid working with these entities despite what could be a loss of $100 million or more in annual research funding from foreign partners.

The list will include foreign-state-connected universities, research institutes and laboratories that are believed to be at “higher risk” of engaging in theft, unwanted knowledge transfers and interference in research, according to government documents reviewed by the Star.

‘Persona non grata:’ Canada expelling Chinese diplomat after threats to Conservative MP

They made Justin cry.

OTTAWA – The Liberal government is expelling Chinese diplomat Zhao Wei, whom Canada’s spy agency alleged was involved in a plot to intimidate Conservative MP Michael Chong and his relatives in Hong Kong.

Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly wrote in a statement that Canada has declared the Toronto-based diplomat as “persona non grata.”

“We will not tolerate any form of foreign interference in our internal affairs,” she wrote.

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.

Roxham Asylum seekers bused to New Brunswick don’t much care for the place

Asylum seekers bused to New Brunswick left struggling to find help

Jessica arrived in New Brunswick confused and disoriented, stepping off a bus on a cold March night after a more than 10-hour journey from Roxham Road. She knew nothing about Moncton, the city where she had been sent.

“They never told me where we were going,” she said, speaking in Spanish through an interpreter.

Jessica is one of more than 200 asylum seekers bused to New Brunswick after arriving in Quebec over the international border. Her relocation to Moncton was part of a scramble by the federal government to redirect migrants to other parts of the country.

Michael Taube: Is the Government Listening to CSIS? That’s Not Entirely Clear

Any strong words Trudeau may mouth about China are to be taken with a very large grain of salt.

The recent controversy involving Conservative MP Michael Chong and his family being targeted by China is an enormous issue. For those who have repeatedly questioned Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s commitment to ensuring that safety and security are among Canada’s highest priorities, this may be the biggest red flag of them all.

The Globe and Mail’s Robert Fife and Steven Chase recently published contents of a July 20, 2021, Canadian Security Intelligence Service report that examined China’s interest in Canada. The nine-page document suggested the former viewed the latter as a “high-priority target,” had employed “incentives and punishment” to gain an advantage, and the targeting was “expected to continue and increase over time.”

What We Know About the Chinese Diplomat Involved in Threat Against MP Chong’s Family

Following a recent media article reporting that Zhao Wei, a Chinese consul in Toronto, was involved in threatening Conservative MP Michael Chong’s family members in Hong Kong, there have been calls to expel Zhao from Canada. Here is what we know about him.

Zhao is a designated consular officer with the Chinese Consulate in Toronto, according to Global Affairs Canada. The consulate’s website and news release archives list him as team leader of the “Consular and Overseas Chinese Affairs Division.” He has held that position as early as November 2018.

The obsession, and its untold costs, of trying to find housing in Toronto

We have a crisis of housing affordability in this city. I’m not telling you anything you don’t know: we’re obsessed with it, items at city council this month (on declaring homelessness an emergency, and permitting new housing types to be built more easily) are trying to tackle parts of it, multiple mayoral candidates (Mark Saunders, Ana Bailão, Anthony Perruzza, Mitzie Hunter) either released housing plans this week or are planning to do so next, and others (Olivia Chow, Josh Matlow, Brad Bradford) already have at least parts of theirs out.

Everyone knows we have a problem.

It’s a Star piece. That’s the only way someone could write about the housing crisis without mentioning Trudeau’s city destroying mass immigration policy. Ideological blindness is mandatory.

His lament that the “creative class” (people like himself) are leaving TO is sheer vainity.

They were going to leave due to crime sooner or later, it’s what Liberals do after they fuck a city over.

Did China Help Vancouver’s Mayor Win Election?

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Every day when he arrives at his office in City Hall, Mayor Ken Sim stares at a prominent black-and-white photograph of Chinese railway workers toiling on the tracks in British Columbia in 1884.

Mr. Sim, the son of Hong Kong immigrants, said the workers’ weathered faces are a daily reminder of the symbolic importance of his election as Vancouver’s first Chinese Canadian mayor, and of just how far Chinese Canadians have come.

Michael Chong reveals why his story should concern Canadians

OTTAWA— A friend, a man of honour, a man who “embodies all that is best” about the House of Commons.

That’s how not just party colleagues but even partisan rivals described Conservative MP Michael Chong this week as shock rippled through Parliament with revelations he and his family were targets for Chinese state interference in 2021.

But when Chong himself first heard the news, via a Globe and Mail report last Monday, shock wasn’t what hit him.

Low Wage Immigrants Will No Longer Be Welcome in Sweden

Sweden is doubling the minimum income level non-EU migrants need to obtain a permit, with Swedish officials warning that half of the country’s migrants are unable to survive without welfare.

Sweden is raising the minimum income threshold for non-EU job seekers in the latest measure by Stockholm to help curb mass immigration.

On Thursday, May 4th, Minister for Migration Maria Malmer Stenergaad announced that the minimum income threshold will be raised to €2,534 per month for new non-EU workers to receive a Swedish work permit. The country issued 24,000 such non-EU worker permits last year. The new regulations are expected to come into effect in October.

GOLDSTEIN: The warnings about foreign interference — in 2019 — that Trudeau ignored

In August 2019, two months before the 2019 federal election and two years before the 2021 election, which have both raised major concerns about foreign interference, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau received a report from the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP) that he created in 2017 to advise him on security issues.

Government still investigating why threats against Chong not passed up to cabinet

OTTAWA – The government is still investigating why warnings that a Conservative member of Parliament was being threatened by the Chinese government never made it to the desk of any cabinet minister, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino said Saturday.

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the Liberal policy convention in Ottawa, he said the possibility of holding someone accountable for that decision remains “under consideration.”

“It’s important that we unearth their reasons as to why this was not brought directly to the attention of the public safety minister at the time, as well as the prime minister because we take these issues seriously,” he said.

How to kick a diplomat out of Canada

The federal government is under heavy political pressure to expel a foreign diplomat from Canada. Such expulsions are rare — but they do happen.

Earlier this week, the Globe and Mail reported that Zhao Wei, a diplomat at the Chinese consulate in Toronto, was allegedly working on efforts to threaten the family members of Conservative MP Michael Chong.

Terence Corcoran: The railway hit Gordon Lightfoot could not write today

Canadian Railroad Trilogy, the late songwriter’s hymn to progress, would not make it past CBC gatekeepers today

On the northernmost point of Tudhope Park, on a narrow peninsula reaching into Lake Couchiching just outside the Ontario town of Orillia, 150 kilometres due north of Toronto, stands a statue of Gordon Lightfoot, the Canadian singer and songwriter who died Monday at the age of 84. The park, which is home to the Mariposa Folk Festival, is not far from where Lightfoot was born.
