At the end of the pier at the Nanisivik Naval Facility sit three unused jetties.
Ice smothers the remote base for most of the year, encasing its empty helipad, site office and diesel tanks – then melting away as the seasons pass.
When it was commissioned in 2007, Nanisivik was meant to signal Canada’s commitment to protecting its Arctic territories.
A Liberal candidate running for re-election in a battleground GTA riding is apologizing after suggesting people attempt to claim a Chinese bounty on a local Conservative candidate.
Paul Chiang — the Liberal candidate for Markham-Unionville — suggested during a local Chinese-language media news conference in January that people should claim the bounty on Joe Tay — currently running for the Conservatives in the Toronto riding of Don Valley North.
“To everyone here, you can claim the one-million-dollar bounty if you bring him to Toronto’s Chinese consulate,” Chiang said, according to the Toronto Association for Democracy in China (TADC).
A normal party would kick this traitor’s butt to the curb on grounds of foreign interference but the LPC is a CCP subsidiary.
In the shadow of endless headlines about Donald Trump and the American political circus, another crisis is quietly unfolding on Canadian soil — this one in our fields, barns and fishing boats.
As of March 17, China has imposed crippling tariffs on key Canadian agri-food exports: 100% on grains and canola, and 25% on pork, lobster and seafood. These aren’t abstract threats. These are real, immediate penalties on farmers, fishers and harvesters — Canada’s food producers.
Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre on Tuesday drew public attention to a report that shows Mark Carney in October, while chair of Brookfield Asset Management, brokered a deal with Chinese bankers.
A month prior to Carney’s trip to China, then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made him chair of the Liberals’ Task Force on Economic Growth.
China ‘ready to move forward’ in relations with Canada, envoy says
China’s ambassador says his country is open to negotiating a free-trade agreement with Ottawa and co-operating on a research station in the Arctic – extending an invitation to repair strained ties as Canada’s relations with the United States worsen.
However, Wang Di, Beijing’s envoy to Canada, says Ottawa would have to remove restrictions placed on Chinese investment in recent years.
Chinese tariffs on $3.7 billion of Canadian agricultural goods and food products took effect on March 20, several months after Canada imposed tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) and metals.
The Chinese tariffs were implemented shortly after midnight, imposing a 100 percent levy on Canadian imports of canola oil, oil cakes, and peas, along with a 25 percent tax on pork and seafood products.
Canada’s trade war with the United States has some economists pondering whether the federal government should ease or lift its 100 per cent tariff on Chinese electric vehicles, a move some say could spur EV purchases and deliver a blow to Elon Musk’s Tesla.
Automakers, however, say the tariffs are critical to protecting this country’s nascent EV industry.
Canada followed the U.S. in slapping the tariffs on Chinese EVs last fall, while also putting a 25 per cent surtax on imports of steel and aluminum products from China.
Tell me Brookfield and Canada’s China class aren’t salivating.
“The upside is a likely invasion by the USA.”
The federal government says it “strongly condemns” the execution of multiple Canadians in China earlier this year over what Beijing says were “drug-related crimes.”
A Global Affairs Canada spokesperson confirmed the executions took place but did not say how many Canadians were put to death.
OTTAWA, Canada — A review of corporate documents reveals that Brookfield—the influential $900 billion Canadian investment fund from which Liberal Prime Minister-to-be Mark Carney stepped away from in order to replace Justin Trudeau as Canada’s leader—maintains over $3 billion in politically sensitive investments with Chinese state-linked real estate and energy companies, along with a substantial offshore banking presence. One of its major real estate ventures, a $750 million entry into high-end Shanghai commercial property in 2013, involved a Hong Kong tycoon affiliated with the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC)—which the CIA labels a central “united front” entity of Beijing.
Carney will ensure Canada remains a CCP branch plant.

There’s such a thing as cutting off your nose to spite your face, and the tariff war between Canada and the US is starting to look like a prime example.
On Monday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced a 25 percent surcharge on electricity exports to the US, affecting an estimated 1.5 million households and businesses in New York, Michigan, and Minnesota.
Trump responded with all-caps outrage, raising the March 12 tariff on steel and aluminum imports from Canada from 25 to 50 percent — a move that would be devastating for Ontario’s auto sector. How, the President asked, could Canada stoop so low as to use electricity — a resource that impacts the daily lives of innocent people — as a bargaining chip and a threat?
Drug cartels are using Canada’s trade system to launder the proceeds of drug trafficking, according to an internal police intelligence report obtained by the Investigative Journalism Foundation.
The 2022 assessment from the RCMP’s organized crime division says that “cartel drug trafficking” accounts for most of the money being laundered in Canada through trade, according to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).
VANCOUVER — Shocking new details are emerging about a major Chinese organized crime suspect who met privately with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, according to a police source who confirmed recent reporting from The Globe and Mail. The individual, Paul King Jin, is allegedly implicated in money laundering operations spanning the Western Hemisphere and has been a target of multiple failed major investigations in British Columbia. These investigations sought to unravel the complex interrelations of underground casinos and real estate investment, fentanyl and methamphetamine trafficking, and financial crimes that allegedly funnel drug proceeds from diaspora community underground banks throughout North America and Latin America, with connections to Chinese and Hong Kong financial institutions.
Trudeau met with Paul King Jin in his first term as Prime Minister
Early in his time as Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau met with Paul King Jin, a British Columbia businessman who would go on to become a central figure in the province’s money-laundering inquiry.
The existence of the meeting was confirmed by three sources with knowledge of the encounter.
Mr. Trudeau met Mr. Jin, who was among about a dozen people, in a conference room at the Executive Inn Express Richmond, a now-closed hotel near the Vancouver airport, one of the sources said.
“Trade-Based Money Laundering is the Fentanyl Crisis”: Sources expose Chinese-Mexican-Canadian Crime Convergence
‘That famous picture of Trudeau at a Vancouver dinner with all those Chinese guys—They’re all in there’: Source on United Front money laundering suspects surveilled by US Agency
VANCOUVER and TORONTO — As debate rages over President Donald Trump’s disruptive tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China—whether they represent a genuine war on fentanyl deaths tied to each nation’s role in the deadly supply chain, or merely a pretext for U.S. trade dominance—multiple Canadian and U.S. government sources have stepped forward to highlight a factor they believe North American citizens aren’t grasping amid Trump’s political rhetoric.
They point to the staggering scale and sophistication of trade-based money laundering orchestrated by Chinese Triads in Canada and Mexican cartels. This is a predominant concern in Canada, alongside revelations of so-called fentanyl superlabs hidden in rural areas, yet easily supplied by Canadian transportation hubs—shipping, rail, and trucking networks saturated with organized crime. These sources insist this little-understood form of criminal money laundering not only fuels fentanyl trafficking—ultimately linked to a complicit Beijing—but directly finances drug shipments initiated by Chinese networks in Toronto and Vancouver, sending fentanyl, methamphetamine, and cocaine across the Mexican border into California, specifically to trucking hubs around Los Angeles.
Chrystia Freeland’s Liberal leadership campaign has been targeted by “co-ordinated and malicious activity” traced back to a WeChat account accused of having ties to the Chinese government, according to the task force set up to monitor foreign election interference.
According to the Security and Intelligence Threats to Elections Task Force (SITE), which is made up of senior intelligence and security officials, the activity was traced to WeChat’s “most popular news account — an anonymous blog that has been previously linked by experts at the China Digital Times to the People’s Republic of China.”
My bet is Trudeau and Carney ordered this up.
