Forget being outraged at allegations of China interfering in Canada’s last two elections, Justin Trudeau wants to know who in CSIS is leaking to the media. Trudeau isn’t overly concerned with the crime; he wants to find the person exposing his cover-up.
Apparently the Canadian government is justified in taking drastic measures to combat threats to national security or someone’s “self-realization” from, say, a truck horn. But if a totalitarian tyranny attempts to fiddle our elections, well, all good clean fun.
At any rate, the prime minister declares himself thoroughly vindicated by the Rouleau report. But while he now claims to realize he shouldn’t have been so mean about his loser nutbar hate-filled domestic critics, he sees nozink, nozink when it comes to China’s efforts to undermine our democracy. And woe betide anyone who attempts to brief him.
Canadian politicians, officials and business executives are the prime targets of Chinese government espionage that employs blackmail, bribery and sexual seduction, with the country even enlisting the Bank of China in its foreign-influence activities.
Secret and top-secret Canadian Security Intelligence Service documents viewed by The Globe and Mail outline how China instructed its consulates and visa offices to alert Beijing to prominent and influential Canadians planning to visit China.
There is a very real danger to Canada from the ChiCom 5th Column that Junior and his treasonous ilk have nurtured.

I’ll never forget July 18, 1983.
It was my first day on the job at the Communications Security Establishment, Canada’s signals intelligence (SIGINT) agency. I was all of 22 years old, days out of an MA from Western University and ready to start my first full-time job as a translator at the Department of National Defence (at least that is what I had been told). Now I was getting my indoctrination into what I was really being asked to do: Read sensitive intercepted signals and extract intelligence to be forwarded to senior government officials to help keep Canada safe.
"Justin Trudeau knew about this interference and he covered it up because he benefitted from it,” Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre tells reporters in Calgary when asked about a recent news report on alleged Chinese interference in the 2021 Canadian federal election.#cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/QLpjk5kErh

Former Steveston Richmond-East MP Kenny Chiu wasn’t surprised by new reports that the 2021 election campaign that unseated him was subject to covert interference from the China’s former consul in Vancouver.
He remains concerned, however, that Canada’s lack of response to increasing evidence that Beijing seeks to influence its diaspora communities with social-media disinformation campaigns sends the message to authoritarian regimes, such as China, “that we are weak, that we will take no action to protect ourselves,” Chiu said Friday.
What level of interference in Canada’s elections would China have to commit before Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government tells us about it?
According to reporting by Robert Fife and Steven Chase on Friday, CSIS documents seen by the Globe and Mail outline a highly organized campaign of interference in Canada’s 2021 election, where Beijing’s dictators had two goals — a Liberal minority government and defeating Conservative candidates viewed as anti-China.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre accused Justin Trudeau on Friday of ignoring Chinese interference in the most recent federal election because Beijing’s efforts were aimed at helping the Liberals — but Trudeau said his government is taking the threat seriously.
The Globe and Mail reported Friday that secret and top-secret documents from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) said Beijing sought to ensure a Liberal minority government and the defeat of several Conservative candidates in the 2021 federal election. A former Chinese consul-general in Vancouver bragged about her efforts in helping to defeat two Conservative MPs, according to the reports detailed in the Globe story.
Chinese diplomats quietly issued warnings to “friendly” influential Canadians in early 2022, advising them to reduce their contact with federal politicians to avoid being caught up in foreign-interference investigations by Canada’s spy agency.
Secret and top-secret Canadian Security Intelligence Service documents viewed by The Globe and Mail reveal how China sought to protect its network of “Canadian friends” – a community it relies on to build relations, influence and covertly gather information from MPs and senators.
Canadians cannot trust the Liberal Party. They are loyal only to power & corruption.

OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Canadian voters alone decided the last federal election as he played down a report Friday that China tried to unduly sway the outcome.
The Toronto-based Globe and Mail newspaper, citing classified Canadian Security Intelligence Service records, said China worked to help ensure a Liberal minority victory in the 2021 general election as well as defeat Conservative politicians considered unfriendly to Beijing.
China employed a sophisticated strategy to disrupt Canada’s democracy in the 2021 federal election campaign as Chinese diplomats and their proxies backed the re-election of Justin Trudeau’s Liberals – but only to another minority government – and worked to defeat Conservative politicians considered to be unfriendly to Beijing.
The full extent of the Chinese interference operation is laid bare in both secret and top-secret Canadian Security Intelligence Service documents viewed by The Globe and Mail that cover the period before and after the September, 2021, election that returned the Liberals to office.
No wonder Junior has been lying about about being briefed on CCP skullduggery, he was likely in on the plot. The LPC is a criminal organization that has reduced Canada to Banana Republic status.

The federal government has banned all research funding with Chinese military and state security institutions and urged the provinces and universities to adopt similar guidelines.
Innovation Minister François-Phillipe Champagne announced late Tuesday the government has instructed the Canada Foundation for Innovation and Canada’s federal research granting councils, Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, as well as the Canadian Institutes of Health Research to screen funding requests from China and other hostile states.
An online post by a local police bureau in China lists a shopping mall location in Richmond, B.C., as one of the bureau’s affiliated Chinese overseas police service centres. The phone number of the centre matches the contact number of the B.C.-based Canadian Association of Nantong Merchants Abroad.
The post by the Nantong Public Security Bureau, which is being first reported in English by The Epoch Times, was published in July 2020. Nantong is a city in China’s eastern coastal province of Jiangsu.
CSIS warned Trudeau about Toronto-area politician’s alleged ties to Chinese diplomats
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and senior aides were warned on at least two occasions that government MPs should be cautious in their political dealings with former Ontario Liberal cabinet minister Michael Chan because of alleged ties to China’s consulate in Toronto, national-security sources say.
The Canadian Security Intelligence Service has a dossier on Mr. Chan that contains information on his activities in the 2019 and 2021 federal election campaigns and meetings with suspected Chinese intelligence operatives, according to the two security sources. The Globe and Mail is not identifying the sources, who risk prosecution under the Security of Information Act.
So Junior lied about being briefed on ChiCom activity. What a surprise. If not mistaken I recall Chan was Ontario’s immigration minister. Fabulous, policy by ChiCom spy.
There are conflicting reports of what exactly we’re shooting down over Alaska and Canada. We’re reasonably sure that a balloon with a car-sized payload was shot down over Alaska on Friday. The balloon was flying at 40,000 feet — about the same altitude as commercial jets. But the Pentagon doesn’t think the balloon was from China, given that it flew over the North Pole.
The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) has shot down an unidentified object in Canadian airspace, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Saturday.
“I ordered the take down of an unidentified object that violated Canadian airspace. [NORAD] shot down the object over the Yukon. Canadian and U.S. aircraft were scrambled, and a U.S. F-22 successfully fired at the object,” Trudeau said in a statement on Twitter.
“I spoke with President Biden this afternoon. Canadian Forces will now recover and analyze the wreckage of the object,” he said.
Junior ordered squat. Biden’s handlers took pity & decided to let him sound important.
