Cold war: Russia’s bid to control the Arctic

It may be time for Santa Claus to look for a new home, before the Russians kick him out. ‘This is our Arctic,’ declared the Russian explorer Artur Chilingarov when he went to the North Pole in 2003. Four years later, another Russian expedition, again led by Chilingarov, planted a titanium flag on the seabed 2.5 miles below the Pole. It was a symbolic gesture of a geopolitical ambition. The jingoistic Chilingarov proclaimed: ‘Our task is to remind the world that Russia is a great Arctic and scientific power.’

‘Soft Targets’: Chinese Spies Have Been Exploiting US Politicians for Decades, Says Expert

A report that a suspected Chinese spy spent years cozying up to local and national-level politicians reveals that Beijing is investing significantly in long-term espionage operations to infiltrate U.S. politics, an expert said.

From 2011 to 2015, Christina Fang, a Chinese student at California State University–East Bay, cultivated extensive ties with local politicians in the Bay Area by volunteering in fundraising campaigns and attending political events. U.S. intelligence officials believe she was working under the direction of China’s top spy agency, the Ministry of State Security (MSS), according to a recent investigation by Axios.

The Pepper Wok restaurant may never be a sensation for purely culinary reasons.

It is a modest establishment tucked into a suburban plaza north of Toronto, serving traditional specialties like Hainan Chicken.

Western Environmentalists Are Chinese Communists‘ Useful Idiots

Western environmentalists are the useful idiots of the Chinese Communist Party, says a report from the Global Warming Policy Foundation.

China’s green credentials are often praised by Western environmental groups who apparently believe that China is serious about cutting its carbon dioxide emissions.

But according to a report by long-time China watcher Patricia Adams these groups are merely the dupes of communist propaganda

US companies riddled with members of Chinese Communist Party: Devine

As we try to come to terms with the extent of Chinese influence over the Biden family, a leaked database of registered members of the Chinese Communist Party has exposed a mass infiltration of American companies — with serious national-security implications.

Boeing, Qualcomm and Pfizer are just three US companies who have employed dozens of CCP members in their Chinese facilities, the database reveals. 

Imagine how deep in the CCP’s ass Justin and the Liberal party are.

GUNTER: No, Canada shouldn’t be training China’s troops

Let’s start with one certainty: The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) should not be training China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) in winter warfare tactics, particularly on Canadian soil. Period.

That’s the scandal in the revelation this week by online news site Rebel News and by the Globe and Mail that elements of the Trudeau government were at odds with one another over whether to cancel joint training exercises between the CAF and PLA at Canadian Forces Base Petawawa, near Ottawa, in the winter of 2019.

How Canada became dangerously compliant to China

The baseline was hug a PLA soldier and ride off on a unicorn into a trust-based sunset together. It wasn’t that the Canadian government didn’t know what was going on in China.

Alexandria, VA: A few days ago, I got an email from an American friend that read: “Canada is turning into our Nepal.” He included a link to an article about how Canada had allowed members of the PLA to observe the Canadian military’s winter survival training on a Canadian military base in 2018.

His point was Canada, my homeland, was becoming dangerously compliant to China.

“Because you see Justin Trudeau is one of these lefty politicians who thinks that there’s something benevolent about China,”

There are ‘many ways’ in which China ‘gets what it wants’

Sky News host Paul Murray says there are many ways that China “gets what it wants,” which are just as active as the economic coercion currently being played out on Australia right now.

Mr Murray spoke of an “amazing story that you probably didn’t hear much about over the past few days”.

He said China has found a way to “get its hooks” into one of the Five Eyes’ nations.

The Five Eyes intelligence alliance comprises the United States, Australia, Canada, the UK and New Zealand.

O’Toole eyes post-pandemic election, vows to keep pushing feds on COVID-19 in meantime

OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole says that while he sees many problems with the Liberal government’s handling of pandemic, he won’t be pushing for an election until the COVID-19 health and economic crisis is under control. When the time comes for Canadians to cast their ballots, he says his party will be ready.

“We have to get through the health and economic crisis of COVID-19 before we go to the polls,” said O’Toole in an interview on CTV’s Question Period with host Evan Solomon.

Major leak ‘exposes’ members and ‘lifts the lid’ on the Chinese Communist Party’s infiltration Worldwide

Major leak ‘exposes’ members and ‘lifts the lid’ on the Chinese Communist Party’s infiltration Worldwide

A major leak containing a register with the details of nearly two million CCP members has occurred – exposing members who are now working all over the world, while also lifting the lid on how the party operates under Xi Jinping, says Sharri Markson.

Ms Markson said the leak is a register with the details of Communist Party members, including their names, party position, birthday, national ID number and ethnicity.

“It is believed to be the first leak of its kind in the world,” the Sky News host said.

“What’s amazing about this database is not just that it exposes people who are members of the communist party, and who are now living and working all over the world, from Australia to the US to the UK,” Ms Markson said.

Deal for A “Hybrid” Parliament Runs Out

Oh, the loss:

House of Commons business looks set to grind to a halt until at least late January after Liberals and Conservatives failed to agree on measures to keep open a virtual parliament.

New hybrid rules that combined video-conferencing and in-person sittings were agreed to in September but expired Friday, when the Commons rose for a Christmas break.

Canada’s ties to China’s military underscore the weird contradictions in its foreign policy

Canada’s ties to China’s military underscore the weird contradictions in its foreign policy

It’s been obvious for some time that there is something weird about the way Canada approaches its relationship with China — a disconnect brought into sharp relief this week by the news that Global Affairs and the Department of National Defence were not the same page when it came to military ties and training involving the People’s Liberation Army.

In some respects, the volcanic online political eruption which followed stories in The Globe and Mail and other media outlets, based on exclusive access to information documents, was predictable, as was the flurry of finger-pointing in the House of Commons on Thursday and Friday.

Diplomats were alarmed when Gen. Jonathan Vance, the country’s senior military commander, cancelled winter military exercises with the PLA in 2019, fretting that it might aggravate Beijing or make the lives of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor even worse.

There exists within our borders and institutions both private and public a bought and paid for China Class that has been busily undermining Canadian society and sovereignty for decades.
