“Canada’s China Class”

Wednesday was a gruesome day for the Prime Minister. It began with a report by Global News citing two high-level memos to the Prime Minister’s Office warning, in highly specific terms, not just about foreign interference in our elections generally, but about infiltration and funding of Liberal campaigns by the government of China.

The first, a “Special Report” prepared by the Intelligence Assessment Secretariat within the Privy Council Office – which reports directly to the Prime Minister – warned that Chinese officials had passed money via intermediaries to a clandestine network of 11 candidates in the 2019 election.

China on Friday accused Canada of smearing its reputation over allegations China is secretly operating two overseas police stations in Quebec.

Canada should “stop sensationalizing and hyping the matter and stop attacks and smears on China,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said at a daily briefing.

“China has been … strictly abiding by international law and respecting all countries’ judicial sovereignty,” Mao said.

Hmmmm …

I think CSIS just used Twitter to dunk on the PMO https://t.co/7FfsbYcfyC

Justin Trudeau is under mounting pressure to explain how seriously his government has responded to the threat of Chinese interference in Canadian elections in the wake of damning intelligence leaks.

Allegations that the prime minister’s government has failed to act on meddling efforts featured prominently in a raucous session of parliament on Wednesday, as concern over Beijing’s efforts to undermine Canadian elections continues to dominate the country’s politics.

At this point, it seems mighty clear that, despite the denials, cabinet was well aware that numerous intelligence reports had uncovered evidence of China interfering in successive Canadian elections well before the story was made public in November. It doesn’t really matter whether Prime Minister Justin Trudeau bothered to read the reports, as he is ultimately responsible for his government and, as far as anyone can tell, Ottawa did nothing to counter this direct threat to Canadian democracy.

Trudeau should be dipped in a barrel of excrement every morning.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police are investigating allegations of two so-called “police stations” in Quebec that are suspected to be operated by Chinese government officials.

The RCMP confirmed by email Thursday morning an open investigation by the Integrated National Security Enforcement Team in the province into the two alleged outposts: one in Montreal and another in Brossard, a suburb on the city’s south shore.

OTTAWA Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s main line of defence to accusations he ignored specific CSIS warnings about Chinese government funding of Canadian political candidates began to wobble early Wednesday.

It began with a leak of another secret document: an unredacted committee report never publicly released that, Global News claimed, explicitly advised Trudeau’s office of covert funding of candidates ahead of the federal election in 2019.

It continued with Trudeau deflecting questions about what he knew and when, by deferring to the very committee whose report had just been leaked.

Shaky ground? He’s dead in the water. Trudeau is a congenital liar who should be investigated for treason.

Justin Trudeau refuses to answer questions on when he was made aware of briefings on foreign interference in Canada’s federal election, which he initially denied ever receiving.

The more one studies the process the Trudeau government developed to ostensibly warn Canadians about foreign and domestic interference in federal elections, the more it becomes obvious it was doomed to fail, whether or not that was the intention.

Junior and the LPC reek of corruption and have no right to remain in power.

But what recourse do we have given Singh will not act in the interest of Canadian citizens?

None that I am aware of beyond insurrection.

The right of recall and term limits should be election issues.

As the evidence mounts and the days and the hours pass, it’s becoming impossibly difficult for the Liberal government to convincingly deny that during the 2019 and 2021 federal elections, Chinese diplomats were involved in a sophisticated interference operation run by regime proxies deeply embedded in the Liberal Party, and that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau knew about it, and said nothing.

The 64 Dollar question: How do we give Junior the Boot? Singh lacks all honour.

We’re going to have a rapporteur examine Chairman Xi’s surreptitious needlework during our Canadian elections. As opposed to, in place of, or more precisely, to avoid a public inquiry.

Surely no one expected anything better. Surely no one expected anything different from Deflection and Avoidance Central, which is the Prime Minister’s Office.

OTTAWA — In the wake of new allegations of foreign interference, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau insisted he has no information about money from the Chinese government working its way into Canadian elections.

Global News reported Wednesday on two briefing notes it obtained through intelligence sources that indicated the government was warned in 2019 and 2022 that the Chinese government was funnelling money to Canadian election candidates.

Senior government figures have attempted to downplay the significance of the leaks

Top federal officials have downplayed the quality of leaked intelligence on the Chinese regime’s election interference in Canada, but a review of what has been reported shows that they are more than just uncorroborated sole-source observations.

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs David Morrison told the Commons Procedure and House Affairs Committee (PROC) on March 2 that there was no interference in recent elections and backed his position by saying disparate intelligence reports can be unreliable.
