Canada’s Universities Are a Pipeline for Chinese Military Technology

How hundreds of Chinese researchers across the country were identified as undercover scientists

THROUGH NAÏVETÉ and mindless belief in the universal benefits of academic exchange, some of Canada’s leading universities have contributed to the militarization of the Far East.

From the start of academic exchanges with the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in the early 1970s, the government of Canada has watched and largely approved of Chinese students focusing almost exclusively on science and technology faculties at Canadian universities. Meanwhile, Canadians going to study in China have engrossed themselves in Chinese language and culture and Maoism. For most of the past fifty years, Canadian universities and authorities were satisfied with this exchange. They saw giving Chinese students the benefits of Canadian knowledge and experience in science and technology as a gift toward the economic and industrial development of China.

Trudeau government won’t commit to releasing names of MPs who allegedly conspired with foreign actors

Senior cabinet ministers wouldn’t say Tuesday if the government is prepared to release the names of parliamentarians who are alleged to have conspired with foreign governments and to have consciously shared sensitive information with their agents — conduct that one expert says could amount to treason.

There may still be police investigations into these allegations, the ministers said, and details could eventually be released as part of that process.

Freeland says committee finding that some MPs aided foreign interference ’concerning’

OTTAWA — Canada’s deputy prime minister says the finding that some Canadian members of Parliament were “wittingly” helping foreign state actors is “concerning,” but she trusts that law enforcement will do its job.

Chrystia Freeland’s comments come after a committee of MPs and senators released a report Monday that said intelligence shows foreign actors worked to foster relationships with parliamentarians.

Canada has become a cautionary tale of what happens when you let antisemitism run unchecked

When will it stop? Is an end in sight? Just when we want to believe we’ve seen the worst in antisemitism in Canada and hope that the surge in anti-Jewish hate crimes and related incidents that began after Oct. 7 will subside, we’re hit with a fresh reality check.

Indeed, it’s now almost as if each new day brings more troubling headlines for Canada’s Jewish community about yet another disturbing antisemitic action.


‘It’s really heartbreaking to know that we are not supported’: Muslims tell MPs about their experiences with Islamophobia in Canada

OTTAWA — Following the 2021 terrorist attack that killed four members of a Muslim family in London, Ont., Liberal MP Shafqat Ali no longer felt it was safe enough for his hijab-wearing daughter to walk to school alone.

“That incident has put a lasting impact on every Muslim in Canada,” the Brampton MP told parliamentarians Monday.


Has any country other than Canada ever had such a destructive immigration policy?

Poor immigration source country selection has resulted in the import of numerous ethnic and religious conflicts that have no place in Canada.

Bad policy such as multiculturalism that serves only to balkanize society reinforces those poor choices.

But identity politics reigns in this once beautiful land.

If you vote LPC please have yourself committed to a mental institution.

‘Witting’ involvement changes the nature of foreign interference

Witting. That’s the word in the latest report on foreign interference that changes things.

In the latest review, we don’t just see cases of messing with political messages in a local election or allegations of interference in a nomination race, such as that of then-Liberal, now-independent MP Han Dong.

Now, a committee of MPs has reported that some of their colleagues in politics have known they were helping a foreign state or being helped by one. It suggests that foreign interference sometimes takes two to tango, through a co-opting of Canadian parliamentarians who might get a political benefit from it.

Budget Watchdog Says Trudeau Government Hiding Analysis Of Carbon Tax Economic Impact

The federal budget watchdog says Ottawa is withholding its analysis of the economic impacts of the carbon tax.

“We’ve seen that, staff in my office, but we’ve been told explicitly not to disclose it and reference it,” Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) Yves Giroux told the House of Commons finance committee June 3.

Mr. Giroux told MPs the analysis “essentially” confirms the report that his office has published. The PBO has assessed that when the economic impacts of the carbon tax are factored in, eight out of 10 households are worse off financially.

Which way, Canada? Make housing cheaper or protect homeowners’ investments?

Federal housing policy – the number one government priority in Budget 2024 – is unequivocal in its approach: supply, supply, supply. And rightly so.

But the ultimate goal is not clear. In a recent interview with The Globe and Mail’s City Space podcast, Prime Minster Justin Trudeau stated that “in the coming years … [young generations] will be able to see the path towards owning a home.”

The two can’t be reconciled. Trudeau managed to screw everyone with his mass immigration scam.

Trudeau’s government slow response to foreign interference ‘a serious failure’: intelligence watchdog

The Liberal government has known since 2018 that it needed to take foreign interference more seriously but failed to recognize the gravity of the threat, says a damning new report from one of the country’s intelligence oversight bodies.

“The slow response to a known threat was a serious failure and one from which Canada may feel the consequences for years to come,” says a report from the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP), tabled Monday in the House of Commons.

“The implications of this inaction include the undermining of the democratic rights and fundamental freedoms of Canadians, the integrity and credibility of Canada’s parliamentary process, and public trust in the policy decisions made by the government.”

‘Divorced from reality’: Why Canadians are losing patience with public servants

Ottawa bureau chief Stuart Thomson talks to Brian Lee Crowley, the managing director of the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, about the government’s return-to-office plan for public servants.

Although public service unions have reacted angrily to the plan, recent polling shows that Canadians generally support government employees spending more time in the office and less time at home.

Caregivers from abroad to be given permanent residence on arrival under new pilot programs

Caregivers coming to Canada to look after children, seniors and disabled people will be offered permanent residency on arrival under two pilot programs to be announced Monday by Immigration Minister Marc Miller.

The pilots, which are enhanced versions of two programs set to expire on June 17, will put qualified nannies, child-care and home-support workers on a fast track to settling in Canada.

Canada must rebuild trust with the countries who share intelligence with us

At one point in our not-too-distant history, Canada was recognized by our allies as playing an important role in intelligence. During the Cold War by pure happenstance thanks to our geography, we kept tabs on Soviet military activity over the North Pole, thanks to a Canadian Armed Forces listening station in Alert on Ellesmere Island. Our contribution was critical to monitoring the threat from the USSR, including the horrendous possibility of the launch of nuclear missiles targeting North America.

Canada Faces Asylum Backlog of 180,000, Official Says

About 180,000 illegal immigrants and asylum seekers in Canada are asking to stay in the country, causing long wait times, according to information from a Senate committee hearing.

“Thousands of claimants are facing long wait times at multiple points in the process,” said Jason Hollmann, director general of asylum policy at the immigration department, as first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter.

Mr. Hollmann made the comments at a Senate social affairs committee on May 23, saying that asylum decisions can take years.

This is deliberate. Junior is talking of a “path to citizenship” for every illegal invader who wants it.

Ottawa’s waffling on Gaza makes commitment to human rights look shaky

If there is one word to describe Ottawa’s response to Israel’s war on Gaza, it surely is: waffle.

The Trudeau government’s politics of appeasement, rather than those of principle, have made its reactions to developments in the Middle East inauthentic to all sides of a divided populace. They have also thrown into doubt Canada’s commitment to an international human rights system.
