Conservatives walking fine line in attacking Liberals on foreign interference

One of Pierre Poilievre’s interventions during Wednesday’s question period neatly summed up the balance Conservatives are trying to strike in attacking the Liberal government on foreign interference.

“This is actually not about one member of Parliament,” Poilievre said, referencing allegations that China’s security services targeted MP Michael Chong’s family. “This is about millions of patriotic Canadians of Chinese descent who face this kind of abuse and harassment every single day,”

Sounds like Katie Telford dictated this “Won’t someone think of the Chinese” effort.

Their plane went down – how this WW2 Canada crew survived

For as long as Janet Reilley can remember, the first day of May has been one of remembrance for her family – of lives lost and saved in combat.

Her father “Mac” Reilley would pick up the phone to his friend “Buddy” MacCallum, to remember the events of 1943 that shaped their young lives – and their futures.

Few of “the greatest generation” who fought during World War Two remain to bear witness. Now, it’s up to their descendants to keep their memory alive, so that others might understand the bravery, sacrifice and trauma of one of the 20th Century’s defining conflicts.

Tucker, the Left, and Poor Old Canada

It’s becoming abundantly clear that with Tucker Carlson being put out to digital pasture, Fox News is falling on hard times and may come to regret its decision. Its viewership and market share are plummeting while Tucker will find “fresh woods and pastures new” in which to pursue his career of incisive reporting and unabashed truth-telling. Tucker Carlson has become a first name, which indicates that he is not simply an internet commentator but something of an institution. To believe that he is no longer a force is merely wishful thinking.

Mole Says RCMP Must Release Evidence Of Commie Police Stations

Senator says RCMP must release evidence of alleged Chinese police stations in Canada

MONTREAL – A Canadian senator is denouncing the stigmatization of two Montreal-area community organizations that have been accused by the RCMP of hosting secret Chinese government police stations.

Independent Sen. Yuen Pau Woo told reporters today that the RCMP must come forward with evidence against these two groups.

Woo made the comments during a news conference with members of Montreal’s Chinese community at the office of one of the groups targeted by the police, Service à la Famille Chinoise du Grand Montreal.

Can we deport this slimy little prick?

Liberals trying to save face by quietly discrediting Michael Chong, Conservatives say

Attempts by two Liberal MPs to throw cold water on claims the Chinese government intimidated relatives of a member of parliament are part of larger efforts by the party to save face by discrediting the accusations, a Conservative MP said on Friday.

The Liberals are such disgusting slimes.

Beijing’s alleged intimidation of MP Chong is a familiar story for Chinese diaspora

Lawmakers in Ottawa were shocked this month to learn Chinese intelligence had allegedly targeted the Hong Kong-based family of Michael Chong MP, after he criticized Beijing’s human rights record. But for many Chinese, Hong Kong, Uyghur and Tibetan activists in the diaspora, the news came as no surprise.

Chinese security services have long pressured family members of dissidents living overseas. In some cases, the relatives of diaspora or exile activists have been imprisoned in apparent relation for their work.

Arrogant Lying Pissant Trudeau refuses to clear up confusion over communication of China interference allegations

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he shared the “best information” he had when he told Canadians a report about a Chinese government plot to target MPs was never shared outside of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service — despite information to the contrary.

But in a news conference Friday, the prime minister refused to answer questions about the source of the communication disconnect in his government.

“I get a briefings regularly from various sources. I’m not going to go into details on that,” he said. “I shared the best information I had at the time both to [Conservative MP Michael] Chong and to Canadians.”

Canada received assurances from Kurdish authorities it can repatriate two more evil ISIS whores from Syria: lawyer

A lawyer representing five Canadians held in a detention camp in northeastern Syria says he’s been given assurances the federal government will repatriate them, but doesn’t know when that will happen.

The two Canadian women and three teenage girls were supposed to board a repatriation flight last month with 14 other Canadians. But they never made it.

The five Canadians went missing for more than 10 days, and later reported being detained and mistreated by their Kurdish guards rather than being transported to the pick-up point at al-Roj camp, according to their lawyers.

Vancouver man arrested for allegedly selling crack, heroin, other drugs from mobile trailer

Vancouver police have arrested a man who they allege was selling hard drugs out of a mobile trailer in the Downtown Eastside.

The Vancouver Police Department said its organized crime section began investigating after an illicit drug dispensary started operating on Wednesday at the corner of Main And East Cordova streets.

A male suspect is facing charges of selling cocaine, crack, methamphetamine and heroin from the trailer.

I’m reminded of when Toronto drivers were plagued by Squeegee thugs and Olivia Chow suggested we should praise their entrepeneurial spirit.

Here’s why Doug Ford has no love for Pierre Poilievre

Doug Ford and Justin Trudeau: So far apart and yet so closely connected.

Doug Ford and Pierre Poilievre: So similar in party branding and yet so disconnected in political marketing.

As Ontario’s Progressive Conservative premier, Ford keeps sharing the same stage with Trudeau, the Liberal prime minister — subsidizing the same factories and laughing at each other’s jokes (even at the expense of Poilievre). This isn’t the first time two first ministers from rival political parties have been so close ― Bill Davis and Pierre Trudeau also came together on the Constitution.

Canadians returning from ISIS camps may pose long-term threat, CSIS warns

Canada’s intelligence service warned Thursday about the “security implications” posed by captured ISIS members the government is bringing home from detention camps in Syria.

In its annual report, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service said extremists returning from abroad might not immediately conduct attacks but “in time” may fundraise and recruit.

China hits out at Canada over claim it targeted MP’s family

China has accused Canada of “slander and defamation” after it said Beijing targeted a member of its parliament and his family.

On Friday, China said the allegation that it attempted to intimidate Conservative MP Michael Chong over his anti-China stance was “nonsense”.

Mr Chong, 51, previously accused China of human rights abuses.

Canada is considering expelling Chinese diplomats over the issue and summoned its ambassador on Thursday.

‘We Will Never Forget’: Canadians and Americans React to US Lifting COVID Border Restrictions

While the United States recently announced it will end its COVID-19 vaccine requirements for international air travellers and at the Canadian border, The Epoch Times spoke with some Canadians and Americans who expressed deep frustration with the rules being implemented in the first place, vowing not to forget being separated from their loved ones.

“We will never thank a government whose deliberate implementation of discriminatory, baseless mandates, targeted a group whose only threat was the rejection of their false political science narrative,” said Hope Vanbeselaere Marsh, a Manitoba woman who was separated from her husband in Texas in March 2020.
