“Canada’s China Class”

During testimony before the House of Commons ethics committee last week, a Chinese-Canadian filmmaker revealed that he witnessed firsthand proxies of the Communist Party of China (CCP) take busloads of people to vote for the regime’s preferred candidate in Canada’s nomination races.

The revelation was made by Toronto filmmaker, Cheuk Kwan. He testified before the committee last Friday that, as co-chair of the Toronto Association for Democracy in China, he’s well aware that such practices of CCP election meddling are the “standard modus operandi.”

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has named his special rapporteur to oversee a suite of foreign interference probes: former governor general David Johnston.

The Prime Minister’s Office says Johnston was appointed after consultations with all parties in the House of Commons.

He will have a “wide mandate” to look into allegations of interference in the past two elections and make recommendations to the government, the PMO said in a statement.

Just another Laurentian crony.

Trudeau says some politicians are playing partisan games on foreign interference

OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the search for answers on foreign interference should be free of partisanship, even as his party’s MPs have filibustered for more than 24 hours at a key parliamentary committee.

What horseshit, Junior turned a blind eye to Communist China’s election interference because it benefited the Liberal party.

Opposition MPs accused Justin Trudeau of a coverup as Liberal MPs continued a filibuster to block the Prime Minister’s chief of staff, Katie Telford, from testifying before a Commons committee studying China’s interference activities in Canadian democracy.

MPs on the procedure and House affairs committee met Tuesday during the March parliamentary break to debate an NDP motion to call Ms. Telford to explain what she and the Prime Minister knew about Chinese election interference and what they did to stop it.

“Leaked CSIS and PCO documents now show that Beijing worked to help elect Justin Trudeau. That is an accepted fact. He doesn’t even deny it.”

Poilievre was answering a reporter who asked him why he thinks supporters of the Conservative Party are, based on recent polls, more concerned about foreign interference.

Is this the beginning of the end for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau? The knives are out, and the cuts are coming fast and furious. Not a day goes by without another accusation of political interference by the Chinese communist regime, in not just federal but now also provincial politics. Interference also goes beyond politics and into academia and business. The Chinese Communist Party, for example, trains scholarship students to “avoid detection by authorities” and steal sensitive technology, the Globe and Mail reported Monday.

Amid reports of Chinese foreign interference in Canadian elections, federal ministers Marco Mendicino and Mary Ng have voiced concerns that setting up a registry of foreign agents could unfairly target Canadians of Chinese origin and even prove racist.

But this argument doesn’t just prejudice people before any consultations even begin – it is also based on false assumptions about foreign agents and their victims.

Groups respond to allegations of operating as Chinese police stations in Quebec

Two Montreal-area community groups are speaking out about being investigated for allegedly operating as covert police stations for the Chinese government.

Last Thursday, The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) confirmed that it was investigating the Service de la famille Chinoise du Grand Montréal in Montreal’s Chinatown and the Centre Sino-Québec de la Rive-Sud, in the municipality of Brossard on the South Shore.

… On Monday, the two groups issued a statement of their own, reminding people about the importance of the presumption of innocence. The statement also urges the media to be careful about generalizations, “particularly following the context of the pandemic where the Chinese community was heavily stigmatized.”

Well well well …

Minister Ng Not Commenting on Her Association With Group Having Record of Echoing CCP Party Line

Trade Minister Mary Ng will not comment on her association with a Toronto group that the House ethics committee has heard has a record of echoing the Chinese communist regime’s Party line.

For weeks, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberals minimized, claimed ignorance, or flat-out denied various allegations of foreign interference in Canada’s election process and its democratic institutions. But the court of public opinion could only absorb so much nonsense about a long-standing, decades-old problem and ruled against them.

Ottawa is now scurrying to stop the political bleeding.

What needs to happen before Canada takes action on foreign interference? Apparently something as drastic as leaks of top-secret intelligence documents to the media.

Last week, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responded to recent reports of Chinese foreign interference and disinformation campaigns in Canadian federal elections by announcing that his government would appoint an independent special rapporteur to investigate, provide recommendations and decide if a public inquiry is necessary. Further steps include reviews by intelligence bodies on such foreign-interference issues and new funding for civil-society organizations to combat disinformation.

Wishful thinking, the Trudeau government has already chosen to play on Team Xi.

The federal police force says it has so far received over a dozen promising leads on alleged Chinese police stations in the Montreal area since publicly identifying them last week.

“We’re currently at 15 serious tips received in relation to the presumed Chinese police stations in Montreal and Brossard,” RCMP Sergeant Charles Poirier said in a March 13 French statement.

Experts are warning that, as the U.S., Britain and Australia move ahead on an expanded military pact, Canada’s omission from that group suggests a larger problem with how this country is perceived by its friends.

U.S. President Joe Biden, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Australian leader Anthony Albanese were at a naval base in San Diego on Monday to confirm the next steps of the trilateral agreement, known as “AUKUS” after the three countries involved.

I do not believe it a stretch to think that Canada was excluded because the Trudeau government is riddled with ChiCom spy’s.

Amid a week of raging controversy over allegations of political interference by the Chinese government in Canadian affairs, information has emerged that raises new questions about the relationship between two Quebec non-profit organizations and the Chinese state.

The RCMP announced Thursday they are investigating two more alleged Chinese “police stations” — operations located in Canada that some have claimed are being used to harass and intimidate those of Chinese descent.
