The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board holds investments in ByteDance, the Chinese company whose TikTok video-sharing app was just banned on government-issued devices by Ottawa due to security concerns.
The pension board currently lists ByteDance under its holdings in the “Private Equity Asia” category on its website.
The Trudeau government has made transport electrification a shining star of industrial policy. Not only is Ottawa willing to pick and choose the technologies of the future, its ready to pick and choose the subsidiary activities needed to bring those electric dreams into reality.
OTTAWA — Opposition parties are set to propose a motion Wednesday calling on the Trudeau government to establish a public inquiry into foreign interference in recent federal elections, the National Post has learned.
Several media reports over the last few weeks, citing government intelligence sources, have suggested there was a dedicated effort by the Chinese government to interfere in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s reaction to news reports that China’s Communist regime has meddled in the last three Canadian elections (2019 and 2021, in particular) reminds me of his reaction to reports that he bullied former Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould during the SNC-Lavalin scandal.
If China’s goal when it interfered in the last general election was to reduce public trust in Canadian democracy, increase polarization and weaken confidence in our political leaders, Beijing must be absolutely bloody delighted with the results.
… What we don’t know is the extent of the Liberal Party of Canada’s collusion with that intervention, if there was any at all. One security source suggested to me that the Liberals were “co-conspirators” in this affair and that is where any further investigation must look.
I suspect the Liberal party turned a blind eye at the very least.
It is genuinely embarrassing that Canada has been made a Banana Republic by Junior and his handlers.
Trudeau Foundation returning $200K to Beijing-linked donor
The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation is returning a donation worth thousands of dollars made by an adviser to the Chinese government.
In 2016, Zhang Bin, a wealthy Chinese businessman and adviser to the Chinese government, made a donation to the foundation worth $200,000.
A story published by the Globe and Mail on Tuesday suggests that Canadian security officials linked that donation back to the Chinese government.
Late and lame Junior, it changes nothing you’re still a turncoat.
A group of Republican lawmakers say it’s time to protect the border. No, not that border. The other one, north of the United States. The one many Americans forget.
Their focus: the frontier with Canada.
That northern border usually is an afterthought in American politics, comfortably ensconced on the back burner of the country’s searing debates about the Mexican border.
A majority of Canadians believe China attempted to interfere in recent federal elections and want to see stronger measures to prevent foreign meddling, a new poll suggests, adding to the growing calls for Ottawa to take action.
The new poll from the Angus Reid Institute, released Wednesday, also found 53 per cent of those surveyed believe the Liberal government has not been strong enough in responding to China’s alleged interference attempts, and even more (64 per cent) want more focus on national security and defence.
OTTAWA – China’s embassy in Ottawa is denying reports of attempted election interference in Canada, saying the claims are “baseless and defamatory” and harm diplomatic relations.
The Liberal government has come under pressure in recent weeks to explain what Canada is doing about allegations of Chinese meddling in the last two federal elections, after they were spelled out in anonymous leaks to the media from security sources.
“China has always been firmly against any attempts to interfere in other countries’ domestic affairs,” reads a statement the embassy emailed to The Canadian Press.
The politically connected Chinese donors who pledged $1-million to the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation and the University of Montreal did not only want to build a statue of the former prime minister.
They also sought to erect a statue at the university’s law school of chairman Mao Zedong, the Chinese leader who brought his country under Communist control and, in his decades as the Great Helmsman, oversaw policies that led to huge numbers of deaths from famine and violence.
“They suggested one of Trudeau and Mao together,” Geneviève O’Meara, a spokesperson for the University of Montreal, confirmed to The Globe and Mail.
Oilpatch emissions will fall ‘because we’re going to force them,’ environment minister says
When it comes to cutting carbon emissions, regular Canadians are doing their part.
Emissions from heating homes, driving cars, flying and even garbage are all down from 2005 levels.
But this progress on the path to net zero is being cancelled out by significant rises in emissions from big business and industry.
Recent revelations that the CCP has thoroughly infiltrated the Liberal Party makes me suspect that China dictates our so-called climate change policy.
Steven Guilbeault just said that 75% of Canadians believe that climate change is a threat that requires urgent action.

OTTAWA — A Liberal MP accused of benefiting from Chinese interference during his election has twice missed Parliamentary votes declaring Beijing’s treatment of Muslim Uyghurs a genocide.
Jacinda Ardern and Nicola Sturgeon both resigned suddenly for “reasons.” They both just knew it was time to go.
Ardern and Sturgeon coincidentally were both labelled China’s Stooges in the past much as we’ve come to regard Justin Trudeau.
It is alleged that China funded Ardern’s Labour Party and had penetrated New Zealand political networks just as Trudeau’s Liberal party has been infiltrated.
Serious consideration was given to kicking New Zealand out of the 5 Eyes intelligence alliance.
Sturgeon was caught up in a UK based Chinese spy ring – Chinese spy scandal engulfs ‘useful idiot’ Nicola Sturgeon and her gullible SNP administration.
Sturgeon was also tangled up in some shady & secretive business deals with Communist Chinese firms targeting key Scottish infrastructure projects.
So like Trudeau, Ardern and Sturgeon certainly number among China’s Useful Idiots.
And given their well known status as “Useful Idiots” it makes me wonder if Jacinda Ardern and Nicola Sturgeon were forced out by a shadowy hand preparing for conflict with China.
Is Justin Trudeau next in line because he is considered a security risk of the same rank?
Note that the UK, Australia and the US did not invite Canada or New Zealand to join the AUKUS security alliance.
Would the cold shoulder be due to Canada and New Zealand being compromised by Communist China?
Are we witnessing a shadowy hand at work tying up loose ends?
Who do you think sabotaged the NordStream pipelines? Bear in mind that one theory suggests Germany was viewed as a weak link in the Anti-Russia alliance and the pipeline sabotage was seen as a means to keep them on side.
I find Trudeau’s support for Ukraine to be over the top shameless and frankly out of character. It’s as if he were compensating for something. A complicated relationship with China perhaps?
With NordStream in mind ask yourself – would the same party see the removal of our 3 Sinophiles in a similar light?
The prospect of war, proxy or hot, with a desperate, demographically collapsing Communist China would cause me to shore up the weak spots in my armor.
Ardern, Sturgeon and Trudeau are the sort you’d want sidelined as tensions escalate.
It may be simple coincidence that 2 of 3 China Stooges have been swept off the board in short order but if anyone is at work then please Shadowy hand do take out Trudeau and his ChiCom corrupted Liberal Party.
Canada & the world will be better off without them.
OTTAWA – A newly released independent report on the protocol designed to inform Canadians in the event of threats to the 2021 federal election concludes it worked well overall, but the public should be told more about what it would consider cause for concern.
Former civil servant Morris Rosenberg, who was tasked with writing the report assessing the Critical Election Incident Public Protocol, also made several recommendations for its future in a report released Tuesday.
The protocol was created in 2019 to monitor threats to federal elections. If a threat meets its threshold, the panel created by the protocol can make an announcement to Canadians.
Forget about a partisan public inquiry into alleged Chinese interference in Canadian elections. Investigate immediately.
This is what Democracy Watch is strongly urging following the leak of Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) documents containing allegations that China violated rules and used influence and money to help Liberals win elections.
