Liberals ignored CSIS warning on 2019 candidate accused in Chinese interference probe: sources

Three weeks before Canada’s 2019 federal election, national security officials allegedly gave an urgent, classified briefing to senior aides from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s office, warning them that one of their candidates was part of a Chinese foreign interference network.

According to sources, the candidate in question was Han Dong, then a former Ontario MPP whom Canada Security Intelligence Service had started tracking in June of that year.


Good reporting, pity nothing will come of it as it touches all members of the UNIPARTY.

Sabrina Maddeaux: Liberals shamefully turn celebration of Black history into a partisan affair

If you could trademark feminism, the Trudeau Liberals would have attempted to do so a long time ago. The party seems to believe that diversity and equality aren’t just ideals to support, but ownable fiefdoms of which they are the natural rights-holders.

This medieval attitude also appears to extend to Black History Month. On Feb. 8, the Government of Canada threw its annual Black History Month celebration at the National Arts Centre. It was an appropriately grand and celebratory affair, with dance and poetry performances, heartfelt tributes and a buzzing bar.

Former chief electoral officer calls for independent inquiry into Chinese interference in Canadian elections

Former chief electoral officer Jean-Pierre Kingsley is calling for an independent inquiry into China’s sophisticated strategy to interfere in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections.

Mr. Kingsley, who served in the post from 1990 to 2007, said it is disturbing that CSIS documents reveal Chinese strategy to influence Canada’s 2021 election and illegal methods to help favoured candidates in the two most recent campaigns.

Trudeau & Cronies spent nearly $400K on hotels for Queen’s funeral, including $6K/night suite

The Canadian government spent nearly $400,000 on hotel rooms during the funeral for Queen Elizabeth II, a figure that includes a luxurious $6,000-a-night river-view suite.

Canada’s delegation to the Sept. 19 funeral included Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife, Governor General Mary Simon, former prime ministers Kim Campbell, Jean Chrétien, Paul Martin and Stephen Harper, Olympian Mark Tewksbury and actor Sandra Oh.

The Canadian government has not disclosed who stayed in the $6,000 suite at the exclusive Corinthia London hotel which, according to the hotel’s website, includes a butler service and views of the River Thames.

Higher taxes have failed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions confounding top level climate scientists named Justin Trudeau

GOLDSTEIN: Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions reportedly rise again in 2021

Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions went up by 19 million tonnes, or by 2.8%, in 2021 according to the Canadian Climate Institute, contradicting Trudeau government assurances that 2021 emissions would be lower than in 2020.

Indeed, if the institute’s numbers are accurate — the government’s official figures for 2021 won’t come out until April — this also bodes ill for former environment minister Jonathan Wilkinson’s prediction that Canada’s annual emissions would drop every year from 2020 to 2030

Rents Are Soaring in Canada as Surge of People Goes Undercounted

Canada’s explosive population growth from immigration is causing rents to surge in its biggest cities. And there’s another problem: The country isn’t even properly counting the number of people who need homes.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government plans to welcome 465,000 new permanent residents this year, and increase the annual target to half a million by 2025. But those often-cited numbers understate the pressure on the country’s limited supply of housing —because they don’t include a wave of foreign students, temporary workers and others with non-permanent visas.

Canada’s worker ‘shortage’ is an illusion, and bringing in cheap labour doesn’t help

… Rather than not enough workers, the issue is that the prices of the goods and services that workers produce have increased faster than their wages, motivating businesses to hire more workers and sell more.

Canada’s current tight labour markets overwhelmingly reflect increases in the demand for workers, not a decline in their numbers. And the solution is not to satiate that demand with cheap labour, which undermines labour productivity and average economic living standards in the population.


The CPC lost my vote because they refuse to speak out on the mass immigration scandal.

They want bodies to feed the greed of the corporate class and they don’t care where they come from or how damaging the impact is on you and your family.

We’re At The Point Of No Return.

The Trudeau government is actively obstructing efforts to shine a public light on Beijing’s interference at the core of Canada’s democratic processes. Why?

Here’s how bad it’s got. It was just another day in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s “post-national” state, and the proceedings of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs collapsed in chaos on Tuesday after the Liberals moved to hobble the committee’s ability to elicit documents related to Beijing’s clandestine interference in the 2021 federal election.

It was ugly. Here’s how ugly.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino have more than once insinuated that alarms about Beijing’s interference in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections are a ploy in a Trump-style strategy to undermine public confidence in the legitimacy of democratic election outcomes. That should show you just how badly Team Trudeau wants us all to shut up about what Beijing has been up to in Canada, and to stop asking how much Trudeau and his ministers know about it.

Something is terribly rotten within the Liberal Party.

Loblaw earns $529M in Q4 profits as Canadians continue to be hit with higher food prices

Loblaw Companies on Thursday forecast annual earnings above analysts’ expectations, after the Canadian retailer’s fourth-quarter results beat estimates, helped by strength in its pharmacy business and as demand held up for groceries.

The company says it earned a profit available to common shareholders of $529 million. Its fourth-quarter revenue rose about 10 per cent to $14.01 billion, topping estimates of $13.75 billion.

After years of cozying up to China, Trudeau impotent in face of election interference

Any strong words Trudeau may mouth about China are to be taken with a very large grain of salt.

The most recent reports have revealed just how extensive China’s activities have become, and exposed the Trudeau government’s astonishing reluctance to treat them with the seriousness they deserve

Once established, it can take a long time to escape a bad reputation, as Canada has when it comes to China.

It’s been decades in the making, with successive prime ministers seized by the perceived gains to be had from the world’s most populous market. The current prime minister famously expressed his enthusiasm for the one-party state’s “basic dictatorship.”
