Trudeau says some politicians are playing partisan games on foreign interference
OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the search for answers on foreign interference should be free of partisanship, even as his party’s MPs have filibustered for more than 24 hours at a key parliamentary committee.
What horseshit, Junior turned a blind eye to Communist China’s election interference because it benefited the Liberal party.

But, despite alarms being sounded by current and former senior military officers, it is extremely likely that defence spending on new equipment will be squeezed out by domestic issues like health and affordability.

What a mess. h/t DM

The clock is ticking for the Canadian military to decide whether to replace its submarines, as Canada’s closest allies push ahead with plans to build new fleets.
The Royal Canadian Navy launched a push to replace the country’s four Victoria-class submarines nearly two years ago by creating a special team to figure out what Canada needs in a new fleet.
The move came in response to growing concerns about the age of Canada’s existing submarines and the amount of time needed to design and build such vessels.
Opposition MPs accused Justin Trudeau of a coverup as Liberal MPs continued a filibuster to block the Prime Minister’s chief of staff, Katie Telford, from testifying before a Commons committee studying China’s interference activities in Canadian democracy.
MPs on the procedure and House affairs committee met Tuesday during the March parliamentary break to debate an NDP motion to call Ms. Telford to explain what she and the Prime Minister knew about Chinese election interference and what they did to stop it.
“Leaked CSIS and PCO documents now show that Beijing worked to help elect Justin Trudeau. That is an accepted fact. He doesn’t even deny it.”
Poilievre was answering a reporter who asked him why he thinks supporters of the Conservative Party are, based on recent polls, more concerned about foreign interference.
OTTAWA — The Canadian government contracted with a U.S.-based military supplier to buy 76 armoured Toyota Land Cruisers for its diplomatic missions around the world in 2018. Five years later, only 33 have been received and it appears that the government has paid millions of dollars up-front for vehicles that have not yet been delivered.
That kind of “deal making” smacks of palms being greased.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said Tuesday the Liberal government’s inaction on alleged election meddling by China has some Canadian voters wondering whether recent election results can be trusted.
Speaking to reporters after a drug-related announcement in B.C., Poilievre said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has “inspired a lot of suspicion” because of his refusal to answer detailed questions about China’s role in the 2019 and 2021 election campaigns.
Poilievre said Chinese interference was known at the highest levels of government but was “kept hidden” until “courageous whistleblowers” leaked national security intelligence to the press.
It’s evident that Trudeau and the Liberal party are compromised.
Communist China has an effective network of useful idiots and fellow travelers well embedded.
Who’s up for mass deportations and confiscation of assets of the guilty ChiComs?
Is this the beginning of the end for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau? The knives are out, and the cuts are coming fast and furious. Not a day goes by without another accusation of political interference by the Chinese communist regime, in not just federal but now also provincial politics. Interference also goes beyond politics and into academia and business. The Chinese Communist Party, for example, trains scholarship students to “avoid detection by authorities” and steal sensitive technology, the Globe and Mail reported Monday.
Canada’s military shows racial discrimination through its policies and “power dynamics,” and must strive to become an “anti-racist organization” while recognizing the presence of “white privilege,” says the Department of National Defence (DND).
“Racism and discrimination still manifests in our workplaces through bias, privilege, policies and power dynamics,” reads a DND report titled “Guide To Courageous Conversations On Racism And Discrimination,” obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter.
Not a good look for an organization that relies on “white privileged males” to do the fighting and dying.
I remain stumped by their recruiting crisis and the reasons why they can’t recruit white men any longer.
Amid reports of Chinese foreign interference in Canadian elections, federal ministers Marco Mendicino and Mary Ng have voiced concerns that setting up a registry of foreign agents could unfairly target Canadians of Chinese origin and even prove racist.
But this argument doesn’t just prejudice people before any consultations even begin – it is also based on false assumptions about foreign agents and their victims.
Groups respond to allegations of operating as Chinese police stations in Quebec
Two Montreal-area community groups are speaking out about being investigated for allegedly operating as covert police stations for the Chinese government.
Last Thursday, The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) confirmed that it was investigating the Service de la famille Chinoise du Grand Montréal in Montreal’s Chinatown and the Centre Sino-Québec de la Rive-Sud, in the municipality of Brossard on the South Shore.
… On Monday, the two groups issued a statement of their own, reminding people about the importance of the presumption of innocence. The statement also urges the media to be careful about generalizations, “particularly following the context of the pandemic where the Chinese community was heavily stigmatized.”
Well well well …

Many Canadians have just two months or less in savings to manage an emergency, according to a new Maru public opinion poll.
Sixty-two percent of Canadians, down from 65 percent last month, believe they have money in reserve for unexpected costs or needs, according to the March 7 Canadian Maru Household Index (MHOI).
The last time results were this low was in October 2022.
For weeks, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberals minimized, claimed ignorance, or flat-out denied various allegations of foreign interference in Canada’s election process and its democratic institutions. But the court of public opinion could only absorb so much nonsense about a long-standing, decades-old problem and ruled against them.
Ottawa is now scurrying to stop the political bleeding.
