Trudeau Flunky & Fellow China Grifter David Johnston rules out public inquiry into Communist China’s interference in Canadian politics

Former governor general David Johnston says China’s interference in Canadian politics is an “increasing threat to our democratic system” but ruled out a public inquiry on the matter, saying intelligence on Beijing’s activities is highly classified and could never be openly discussed with Canadians.

In a 55-page report tabled Tuesday, Mr. Johnston said he uncovered no proof that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ignored intelligence briefings on Chinese influence operations in the 2019 and 2021 elections, or warnings of attempts by Beijing to intimidate Conservative foreign affairs critic Michael Chong.

“I have not found examples of ministers, the Prime Minister or their offices knowingly ignoring intelligence, advice or recommendations on foreign interference or being driven by partisan considerations in dealing with these issues,” he wrote.

The slimy bastards.

PBO Stands By Report That ‘Clean Fuel Regulations’ Will Hurt Canadian Households Financially

Despite fierce criticism from the Liberals, the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) stands by his analysis of the government’s Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR), which finds that Canada’s lower-income households will bear a greater burden in terms of disposable income due to the increased costs associated with the policy.

The CFR aims to reduce carbon emissions from fossil fuels by 26 million tonnes by 2030, while the government further strives for net-zero emissions by 2050. This policy, however, comes at the cost of an estimated $231 for lower-income households and up to $1,008 for higher-income households at the national level in 2030, according to the PBO’s distributional analysis.

Meanwhile in the UK …

Question immigration? CSIS is watching. Question Covid policy? CSIS is watching. Speak out against the sexual mutilation of children? CSIS is watching.

Jamie Sarkonak: Is wokeness driving CSIS’s new approach to counter-terrorism?

Half of the country’s counter-terrorism resources are dedicated to ideological threats, says the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS). With such a strong focus, it’s worthwhile to ask whether CSIS is a hammer in search of a nail.

… Indeed, COVID misinformation is included as a threat factor to Canada, along with Chinese interference and targeting by ISIL, or DAESH. From a distance, it’s hard to say whether this is actually a rising threat, or whether CSIS is simply expanding the scope of national security to appear more inclusive. It’s a distinction that should be made clear.

Ideological extremism of concern is classified by CSIS into four categories: xenophobia, anti-authority sentiments, anti-identity and anti-gender sentiments, and “other” ideological motivations. The final “other” category would include environmental and typically left-wing motivations like environmentalism, though CSIS has said this does not include actions like Indigenous rail blockades.


No wonder CSIS has a patriotic leaker. It appears that another Canadian institution has been compromised by the Liberal Party.

It’s worth noting that the FBI has been caught out fudging the numbers to amplify the “Right-Wing threat.” To the benefit of the Democratic party of course: Democrats Cook the FBI’s Books on Domestic Terrorism

The UK’s “PREVENT” anti-terrorism program went completely off the rails and classified an appreciation of Shakespeare as an indicator of “Right-Wing Extremism” – Is Shakespeare ‘far-right’ now?

In Germany anti-semitic attacks by Muslims are routinely blamed on the “Far-Right” – Germany is accused of downplaying anti-Semitic attacks by Muslims

In Canada we’ve seen our government media work hand in glove with a hate group supporting “Hate Manufacturer” to demonize any opinion to the right of Antifa as “extremist.”

Am I detecting a trend? Bet that gets my name on a list.

Of course reading this blog will likely land you on a CSIS watch list. Sorry bout that;)

Feds Need to Act on Intelligence Briefings, Not Establish More Agencies

We are an odd nation. We aspire to be many things, to be included in multilateral fora, to be noticed. We want to be seen as important, as “not Americans.” Maybe that is partly a consequence of having the United States next door and feelings of inadequacy/fear. As Prime Minister Trudeau—Pierre, not the current version—once put it: “Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast … one is affected by every twitch and grunt.”

John Robson: Expect More CSIS Leaks Given Blair’s Inadequate Response to Latest Beijing Interference Allegations

The disintegration continues. The latest revelation about the Trudeau Liberals’ blindness to Chinese election meddling is that then-public safety and emergency preparedness minister Bill Blair took months to grant CSIS a warrant to monitor election activities by former Ontario cabinet minister infamous for his links to communist China. And they still have no idea how to respond.

As my former Sun News colleague Alex Pierson tweeted, “Either they are complicit or incompetent. Everyday it is another jaw dropper.” To which I responded, “Of course they could be both.” And certainly, incompetence is playing a key role.

As inquiry decision looms, here’s how Canada’s foreign interference saga has evolved

With allegations that China meddled in the last two federal elections dominating the political conversation for months, experts say an inquiry would allow for a detailed, transparent conversation about what kind of threat Canada is actually facing.

It would also allow the Liberal government to demonstrate that it is doing more to address the issue, they say.

How we got here: China’s unrelenting influence campaign, the Liberals’ mishandling and the questions that remain

Looking back, we should have known. No, strike that, we knew; everybody knew. However much China might have liberalized its economy, whatever material gains it might have made, it was always clear that the Communist Party of China was the same brutal gang of thugs it always was. The Berlin Wall fell in 1989 because Mikhail Gorbachev would not approve shooting the protesters. That same year, at Tiananmen Square, China went in another direction.

Looking back we should have known that the unholy alliance of the corporate and political class were all too willing to sell Canada to the ChiComs.

Opposition MPs Call on Minister to Testify on Reported Delayed Wiretap Authorization on Michael Chan

Opposition MPs are calling on Emergency Preparedness Minister Bill Blair to appear at committee at the “earliest possible opportunity” over a new report alleging he took months to approve surveillance measures against an important Liberal Party-connected figure in Toronto.

“Canadians need to know why it took so long for the Minister to sign off on this, when it could have been done in a matter of days,” opposition MPs on the House of Commons Procedure and House Affairs Committee (PROC) wrote in a May 19 letter to committee chair Liberal MP Bardish Chagger.

Secret Chinese police stations ‘funnel Canadian public funds’

Embarrassment for Justin Trudeau as Quebec charity suspected of hosting sites set up to intimidate citizens benefits from government money

A Quebec charity suspected of hosting two secret Chinese “overseas police stations” has received more than $4.45 million (£2.65 million) from the Canadian government over the last three years.

According to the Montreal Gazette, the Service à la Famille Chinoise du Grand Montréal (SFCGM), which purports to provide support to the Chinese community, is really used by Beijing to monitor and intimidate its citizens in Canada.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) believe this is one of two secret police stations in Quebec, which has nearly 92,000 people of Chinese origin.

More and more this has begun to look like Liberal Party cooperation with the ChiComs.

Michael Taube: Canada Needs a Public Inquiry on Foreign Interference, Not a Special Rapporteur With a ‘Fake Job’

David Johnston was appointed special rapporteur by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in March to look into allegations of Chinese interference in Canada’s election process. The former governor general has apparently met with Trudeau, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, and Bloc Quebecois Leader Yves-François Blanchet to discuss his role and mandate.

No such meeting will be taking place with Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, however.

Canada’s galling bribe to climate supervillain Volkswagen

Personal attacks on Justin Trudeau’s fellow China Class crony David Johnston by Conservatives are ‘unseemly,’ says minister who genuinely expects us to roll over and believe the usual Bullshit

Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc says the Conservatives’ personal attacks against former governor general David Johnston — who is set to reveal Tuesday whether he believes a public inquiry into foreign interference is necessary — are “unseemly.”

LeBlanc, who is also the minister responsible for overseeing democratic institutions, told CTV’s Question Period host Vassy Kapelos, in an interview airing Sunday, that Johnston is a “senior statesman in public affairs and public service and the law,” and Canadians should judge him for his report, rather than being “unduly agitated by (Conservative Leader Pierre) Poilievre’s negativity.”

Money talks: Justin Trudeau is learning the hard way that keeping Canada competitive comes with a high political price

OTTAWA — The Trudeau government claims “it’s not just about the money.” But it is.

Money doesn’t just talk. It turns out that it builds car plants on Canadian soil, but only if there’s enough of it.

That’s the takeaway from the ongoing dispute that exploded between a multinational joint venture seeking more taxpayer support for an EV battery plant in Windsor, and the federal and provincial politicians vying to keep it here.

Why America’s EV chargers keep breaking

Imagine living in a world where the gas station has trouble providing gasoline.

Every few times a driver fills up, something goes haywire — the gas doesn’t flow, or it flows fast for a while and then slows to a trickle. Other times, the credit card payment is mysteriously rejected or the screen is blank.
