CSIS is worried about China interfering in our elections, even if the government isn’t

By now it will have dawned on many people that we have a full-blown, five-alarm national security crisis on our hands.

Two possibilities are open to us; each would be a crisis of a different kind. Either 1: rogue officers within the Canadian Security Intelligence Service have been making a series of sensational and wholly false accusations against the government of Justin Trudeau and certain prominent members of the Liberal Party, in an apparent bid to destabilize the government.

Or 2: the substance of the charges is true. That this is easily the more plausible of the scenarios underlines the gravity of the situation.

Foreign interference is not just a Canadian problem. What are our allies saying?

Despite the growing number of reports, attempted foreign interference isn’t a unique Canadian problem.

However, Canadian intelligence officials need to follow in the footsteps of their allies in being more forthcoming about it, a former Canadian diplomat to China says.

The difference is unlike Trudeau’s Liberal party other countries don’t welcome it.

Don Martin: The Trudeau tipping point is within sight

The Trudeau tipping point is within sight.

The moment when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau knows he has to quit for the good of the party or the Liberals realize they can’t survive re-election with him at the helm is almost upon us.

The raging China saga has topped an annus horribilis year, which is not yet two months old, for a prime minister who now spends many days huddled in private meetings or touring the country to attend Liberal fundraisers while using ribbon-cuttings to disguise the travel tab as official government business.

Trudeau Downplays Chinese Efforts to Elect Canadian Liberals

Following news reports last Friday that the Chinese government intervened in the 2021 Canadian federal election in favor of Justin Trudeau, the prime minister is seeking to divert attention away from Beijing’s partisan preference.

“It’s not about one party versus another,” Trudeau said amid accusations that the Conservative Party was attempting to politicize claims of Chinese election meddling.

Every “ally” of Trudeau’s Chinada must now wonder how badly compromised the Trudeau government really is and what secrets have been given to the ChiComs by the Liberal Party.

Canada’s economy didn’t grow at all last quarter and shrank in December, new GDP numbers show

Statistics Canada reported Tuesday that Canada’s economy didn’t grow at all in the last quarter of 2022, and actually shrank in December.

The three-month slowdown brought an end to five consecutive quarters of growth, and was mostly caused by less spending by businesses and households on various types of investments.

In December, Canada’s total economic output declined by 0.1 per cent from November’s level.

The Chinese Communist Party-sponsored Trudeau Liberal Party

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) covertly influenced Canada’s 2019 and 2021 federal general elections in order to re-elect a Liberal government. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau does not want Canadians to know about the Chinese operations in Canada. These are the two threads that are woven through the never-ending-story of intrigue, scandal, and false narratives. It is a serious matter. The details being exposed about the CCP’s support for the Trudeau Liberals involve the integrity of our country’s democratic process.

Shine a light on China’s election meddling. Call a public inquiry

Momentum is building by the day for a public inquiry to get to the bottom of China’s interference in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections.

Former chief electoral officer Jean-Pierre Kingsley, who served in that post for 17 years, was one of the first to call for an independent inquiry, saying last week that “the legitimacy of government is what is at stake.”

Remember two Conservatives were named as ChiCom Assets. The entirety of the NDP is already on board with the Red Menace so no need to cultivate them.

Our ruling class are all suspects now. The civil service, the political class, the media and the Corporate class. All are suspect.

CSIS uncovered Chinese plan to donate to Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation

China appears to have targeted Justin Trudeau in a foreign influence operation after he became Liberal Leader in 2013, according to a national security source who said Beijing’s plan involved donating a significant sum of money to the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation.

The source said the Canadian Security Intelligence Service captured a conversation in 2014 between an unnamed commercial attaché at one of China’s consulates in Canada and billionaire Zhang Bin, a political adviser to the government in Beijing and a senior official in China’s network of state promoters around the world.

Lackey picked to write report on Chinese election interference ran Trudeau Foundation when big donations came in from China

Everyone suspected the ChiCom funding but no one in the MSM seemed to care much about it.

Trudeau has to go. It is or should be plainly evident to all that Canada has a China Class problem. The CCP has bought its way deep into Canadian institutions to the point that our mainstream political parties, yes all of them, are likely as ChiCom riddled as the Liberal party.

The likes of Dominic Barton and John McCallum are proof that the rot is well connected and well placed.

And haven’t you wondered why Canada is given the cold shoulder by our 5 Eyes allies?

GOP shifts focus of attacks on Biden’s immigration policy to Canada-U.S. border

WASHINGTON – Canada’s border with the United States, the longest in the world and an enduring symbol of bilateral co-operation, has largely avoided becoming a partisan cudgel on Capitol Hill.

That, however, may be about to change.

Two U.S. House Republicans, Rep. Mike Kelly from Pennsylvania and Montana Rep. Ryan Zinke, have enlisted 26 fellow members of Congress for a new coalition focused on immigration, crime and national security at the Canada-U.S. border.

John Ivison: China’s election interference could devour Trudeau and his party

In common with many others, I have always thought Justin Trudeau’s receptiveness to China was down to naivete.

But, unless he is more transparent about the Liberal party’s dealings with Beijing in the last two elections, it looks like his sympathies were at least in part driven by partisan considerations.

There was an air of desperation in his reaction to media questions on the foreign interference story on Monday, as he maintained the line that the media reporting has been false, and that even discussing the issues is damaging to Canadian democracy.

Trudeau denies report that Liberals told to drop candidate Han Dong over China ties

Justin Trudeau and Han Job Dong

OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday denied a media report from last week saying his office had been warned by Canada’s spy agency to drop a Liberal candidate, who is now a member of parliament, because he had Beijing’s support.

The Chinese government preferred Han Dong, a Chinese-Canadian, over another Chinese Canadian Liberal, who was passed over in favour of Han, said Global News, citing anonymous security sources in a story posted online.

International aid agencies ask for more money in letter to Freeland ahead of budget

OTTAWA – Dozens of Canada’s international aid agencies are asking Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland to increase the country’s foreign assistance contributions.

The request comes in a letter signed by 75 non-governmental organizations, including the Canadian chapters of groups such as Oxfam, Save the Children, Unicef and World Vision.

They’re asking Freeland to increase international aid funding from the $8.15 billion pledged in the last budget and to gradually ramp that figure up to $10 billion by 2025.

We gain nothing. International aid is just a job scheme for the virtue signaling class and often a slush fund for corrupt regimes like Trudeau’s.
