Action speaks louder than words, but not nearly as often.
Mark Twain’s warning should be borne in mind by the opposition parties as they continue to negotiate with the government over a public inquiry into foreign interference in Canadian elections.
“Canada’s China Class”
Review body probing foreign interference calls on government to release more cabinet documents
One of the review bodies investigating the federal government’s approach to foreign interference says the government has provided it with only a “limited” number of cabinet confidence documents.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau agreed last month to waive cabinet confidence so that two federal agencies — the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP) and the National Security and Intelligence Review Agency (NSIRA) — can read the confidential documents David Johnston, the government’s former special rapporteur on foreign interference, reviewed as he produced his report on foreign interference.
David Johnston files his final report on foreign interference, but it won’t be made public
OTTAWA — David Johnston has filed his final — and confidential — report on foreign interference to the prime minister, ending his controversial term as special rapporteur.
Johnston had announced his plans to resign the role earlier this month, saying the atmosphere around his work had become too partisan.
The former governor general was appointed to the role in March, as the Liberal government faced increasing pressure to tackle allegations that China meddled in the last two federal elections.
Trudeau Liberals block release of China info to MP and media
Justin Trudeau’s government continues to look like they are hiding something on China’s interference, refusing to answer questions from a targeted MP and from the media on who got the secret memo.
It’s part of a highly disturbing pattern that makes the Liberals look guilty.
Hundreds Offered Money, Bus Ride to Join Parliament Hill Protest Against Foreign Agent Registry
Hundreds in Toronto’s Chinese community are being offered money and a free bus ride to Ottawa to join a protest on Parliament Hill “to protect our legal rights and interests.” While the event is advertised as marking the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Exclusion Act, some organizers have talked about the issue as part of a larger movement to oppose measures such as the proposed foreign agent registry act.
According to one of the organizers, about 28 buses will be transporting protesters from the Toronto area to the nation’s capital on Saturday, June 24, in the morning, and organizers are offering each participant a $15 “lunch subsidy” in the form of a Walmart gift card, The Epoch Times has learned.
ChiCom Asset Sen. Victor Oh says Chinese Canadians need to fundraise to sue ‘messy reporters’
OTTAWA – A Canadian senator said he wants Chinese Canadians to set up a national foundation that would focus on raising money to fund lawsuits against “messy reporters” and politicians who “try to smear” the community.
A video of Conservative Sen. Victor Oh making the remarks was uploaded to the social media platform WeChat on June 5, showing him addressing a group at what was described as the Montreal Chinese Community United Centre.
Politicians Should Have Listened to Fadden’s Warnings on Beijing Instead of Reprimanding Him
We humans are odd creatures sometimes. When faced with information that is negative we tend to want to avoid it. If someone says “I have good news and I have bad news,” many of us ask to hear the former first, dreading the latter.
At the end of the day, however, it is best to listen to whatever the bad news is eventually. Chances are it’s not going to disappear anyway, so ignoring it is the equivalent of kicking the information can down the road. Accept it, decide what it means, and what you need to do about it. Unfortunately, Canadian federal and provincial governments seems to want to avoid the inevitable.
The source behind the leaks that exposed Trudeau’s Liberal Party as a ChiCom asset ‘will be found’ and punished, PM’s security adviser says
The source behind foreign interference leaks ‘will be found’ and punished, PM’s security adviser says
The prime minister’s top national security adviser says she expects the security official who leaked sensitive information to the media about attempted Chinese interference in Canadian politics — prompting months of controversy over foreign interference in Canadian elections — will be caught and punished.
“The law has been broken. Sources, techniques have been put at risk. Our credibility with Five Eyes allies has been put at risk,” Jody Thomas told host Catherine Cullen in an exclusive interview with CBC’s The House that will air Saturday.
Canada getting no ‘tangible benefit’ from membership in Asian infrastructure bank: former executive
A Canadian former executive at the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is criticizing Canada’s membership in the institution, saying it’s inconsistent with Canadian values.
“I didn’t find a single, tangible benefit to communicate back home here to Canada of what this bank does that is consistent with our values in a way that would benefit Canadians,” Bob Pickard, who resigned from the AIIB last week, told Power & Politics host David Cochrane in an interview Monday.
Smells like another China Class Grift.
Journalist Defends Reporting on Election Interference
A journalist whose reporting helped raise concerns about possible Chinese meddling in Canadian democracy told a committee of MPs on June 20 that he stands by his work.
Sam Cooper, who recently left Global News to start his own online news site, told MPs that other countries, such as Australia and the United Kingdom, have faced similar disclosures about Chinese attempts to influence elections, and have followed up with laws designed to counter foreign interference.
But in Canada, said Cooper, that has not happened.
‘Don’t become a target’ of Chinese intelligence, CSIS warns Canadians
The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) issued a rare public warning Tuesday detailing how it says China’s intelligence service is targeting and recruiting Canadian citizens to supply information to Beijing.
The allegation comes as Canada continues to reckon with Chinese interference in the country, which has ranged from allegations of meddling in elections to using so-called “police stations” to monitor and threaten Chinese nationals or those with family in China.
3 Are Convicted of Harassing Family on Behalf of China’s Government
The defendants, including a private detective who said he did not realize he was working for an intelligence operation, pursued people living in New Jersey.
5th Columnists: Canadian politicians linking abandoned Chinese exclusion law to a foreign agent registry
It’s without question one of the darkest episodes in Canada’s modern history.
For 24 years starting in 1923, the Canada Immigration Act barred almost any Chinese person from migrating to this country, an ugly extension of the earlier “White Canada” policy and a response to widespread fear of what some called the “yellow peril.”
Canada Needs to Convene a “9/11 Commission” on China’s Election Interference
It is in America’s interest to find out the salacious details of foreign interference in democratic elections, especially when it occurs in our northern neighbor.
Unless its wildfires cause the skies in New York City to turn the color of a sci-fi dystopia, Americans tend not to think much about Canada. But you know who has not forgotten about our neighbor to the north? China’s ruler, Xi Jinping.
As part of China’s unfriendly competition with the West, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) chairman appears to have overseen a far-reaching and complicated effort to advance Beijing’s interests through direct interference in Canada’s 2019 and 2021 federal elections.
Trudeau’s Carpetbagging Bro Dominic Barton & McKinsey pitched Purdue Pharma Canada on plan to get rich on Opioid addiction in 2014, memo reveals
McKinsey pitched Purdue Pharma Canada on plan to boost opioid sales in 2014, memo reveals
Global consulting giant McKinsey & Co., under the leadership of Dominic Barton, pitched Purdue Pharma (Canada) in 2014 on how it could more aggressively market and boost sales of OxyContin and other highly addictive opioids to Canadians, according to a confidential memo obtained by The Globe and Mail.
McKinsey & Co. is facing a class-action lawsuit from the B.C. government, which Ottawa plans to join, that accuses the firm of engaging in reckless marketing campaigns to boost opioid sales, placing the Liberal government at odds with a company it has relied on for more than $100-million in contract work since 2015.
Barton is the same sociopath behind Trudeau’s mass immigration scam, he was a founding member of Century 100 and is also a China Class 5th columinist.
Liberals must do more to ‘safeguard’ democracy from foreign interference: O’Toole
Former Conservative leader Erin O’Toole says as more reports of alleged foreign interference have surfaced, including ones involving himself, the Liberals and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have not done enough to “safeguard” democracy.
That’s because Trudeau and the Liberals work for the CCP.
