Trudeau’s National Security Adviser Says She Hasn’t Seen Evidence of Chinese Funding to 11 Candidates

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s national security adviser Jody Thomas says her office has seen no evidence supporting allegations that the Chinese regime funded 11 candidates in the 2019 federal election, but also said federal intelligence agencies are investigating the allegations.

“The news stories that you have read about interference are just that: news stories,” Thomas told the House of Commons national defence committee on Dec. 8, adding “We’ve not seen money going to 11 candidates, period.”

When they deny it you know it’s true.

About that worker ‘shortage’: Why are governments helping drive down wages?

For almost 50 years Canada has done a thoroughly crappy job – to use the technical term in economics – of fostering a labour market that would provide for steady, year-over-year increases in real pay for working Canadians. I calculate that in 1976 it would have taken a worker earning the median employment income six years to save enough for a down payment on a typical single-family home. In 2020 it would have taken 17 years. If that worker lived in Greater Toronto or Vancouver, it would have taken 28 and 30 years, respectively.


Canada’s immigration policy in a nutshell: Corporate Canada wants fear ridden malleable wage slaves and our politicians dutifully provide them.

How brazen is corporate Canada? Recall that Tim Horton’s incorporated the import of foreign labour under the TFW into their business model.

“A growth model that relies on opening vast numbers of new stores every year also relies on nearly unfettered access to cheap labour to keep profit margins from getting crushed. Tim Hortons has regularly said as much in its annual reports, in the section where it lists all the potential risks to its business: Any labour shortage due to “the cessation or limitation of access to federal or provincial labour programs, including the temporary foreign worker program,” could lead to declining revenues, profits and brand reputation.”

RCMP suspends contract with China-linked company

The RCMP has suspended a procurement contract with a company that has links to China.

The office of Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino confirmed to CBC News that the RCMP has suspended a contract with Sinclair Technologies for radio frequency (RF) equipment. Sinclair’s parent company, Norsat International, has been owned by Chinese telecommunications firm Hytera since 2017.

The Chinese government owns around 10 per cent of Hytera through an investment fund.

National Defence to probe past contracts awarded to firm now tied to China

The Department of National Defence (DND) says it’s investigating contracts previously awarded to a firm that now has ties to the Chinese government, as concerns of foreign interference in Canada grow.

Ontario-based Sinclair Technologies, which designs and manufactures communications equipment, was given contracts for DND work between 2009 and 2013. The 12 contracts, worth $252,296 in total, were for work on “antennas, waveguides and related equipment,” procurement data shows.

National Defence headquarters, Maritime Forces Atlantic, Canadian Special Operations Forces Command headquarters and CFB Esquimalt were listed as the primary end users. A department official told Global News the contracts appeared to be mainly for antenna devices that amplify and receive but don’t transmit information.

‘Beyond farcical’: Former Liberal MP blasts Trudeau’s ‘climate change’ agenda

Former Liberal MP Dan McTeague, who now is the head of Canadians for Affordable Energy, blasted the “insanity” of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s costly “climate change” agenda in a recent interview.

“There seems to be no push back to the insanity of suggesting that somehow, Canada’s responsible for weather conditions somewhere else in the world,” McTeague stated in an interview last week with the Western Standard. “Nothing could be further from the truth.”

Trudeau Liberals too eager to buy into China’s green ‘co-operation’

As at least 10,000 delegates and observers from more than 190 countries gather in Montreal for the Convention of the Parties’ biodiversity summit this week, it’s difficult not to be dreary about the summit’s prospects for reversing the alarming trends that continue to push the earth’s animal and plant species over extinction’s cliff edge.

Trudeau government will investigate itself about shady RCMP contract awarded to Communist China-linked company

Government will review RCMP contract awarded to China-linked company

The federal government is reviewing an RCMP equipment contract awarded to a company with ties to China’s government that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called “disconcerting.”

Trudeau said the government will also re-examine its approach to procurement.

A Radio-Canada investigation found that Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) awarded Sinclair Technologies a contract worth $549,637 last year to build and maintain a radio frequency (RF) filtering system for the Mounties.

Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives defend auditor general as Liberal minister says critical report was politically motivated

OTTAWA — A claim from the federal Liberals’ revenue minister that a critical audit into federal COVID-19 spending was flawed and politically motivated saw the Conservatives blast the government Tuesday for challenging the independence of an officer of Parliament.

The surprise political drama saw auditor general Karen Hogan forced to defend her office’s probe — which is required by legislation — into the multibillion-dollar pandemic benefits programs that were rolled out within weeks after COVID-19 shut down nearly every aspect of public life in Canada.

Trudeau government awarded RCMP contract for sensitive communications equipment to firm owned by Communist China

The federal government awarded a contract to provide and maintain RCMP communications equipment to a company with ties to the Chinese government, Radio-Canada has learned.

The contract has security experts raising concerns about potential Chinese access to RCMP communications and data.

On October 6, 2021, the federal government awarded Sinclair Technologies a contract worth $549,637 for a radio frequency (RF) filtering system. One of the system’s purposes is to protect the RCMP’s land-based radio communications from eavesdropping.

Canada’s China Class at work. Pretty hard to stop given the LPC is likely infiltrated from top to bottom.

I’m sure Justin will blame it on White Supremacists.

Trudeau says firearms bill doesn’t target hunters as Carey Price, critics attack reforms

The federal government’s reforms of gun-control laws won’t take away rifles used by hunters, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday as critics, including Montreal Canadiens player Carey Price, speak out against the proposed changes.

A Liberal amendment to Bill C-21, which is currently being studied by members of Parliament, would set out a regulatory ban on what the government calls “assault-style weapons” by putting an evergreen definition for such firearms into law.

‘Alarming escalation’ of espionage, foreign interference in Canada since pandemic: CSIS

OTTAWA — Canada’s spy agency has noted an “alarming escalation” of espionage and foreign interference since the beginning of the pandemic, with countries like China threatening or intimidating people in Canada into namely supporting a specific electoral candidate.

“These activities are real, they’re persistent, they’re increasing, and it’s not hypothetical, we see it everyday in our work. And these activities will be targeting all level of governments, whether it’s federal, municipal, provincial,” veteran CSIS intelligence analyst Noura Hayek told attendees of the Council on Governmental Ethics Laws conference Monday.


Can’t they identify the perps?

Can’t they deport them?

Why do CSIS’ hands seem to be tied?

Or is Canada’s China class preventing that action be taken?

Lametti won’t commit to delaying expansion of medically assisted dying despite growing calls to do so

Sick man

OTTAWA – Justice Minister David Lametti was pressed to delay the expansion of medical assistance in dying, amid growing reports Canadian institutions aren’t ready for the change, but declined to promise any pause.

The medically assisted death system didn’t initially include any provision for allowing people faced solely with a mental illness to commit suicide, but in a 2019 rewrite of the law, Senators expanded the scope and gave the government two years to come up with regulations before the law automatically expanded to include mental illness.

Michael Taube: Election interference but the latest example of how Trudeau has allowed China to walk all over us

In 2017, the Communications Security Establishment revealed the existence of “low-sophistication cyber threat activity” on Twitter targeting the 2015 election.

More recently, a Global News report revealed that China was behind a “vast campaign of foreign interference” in the 2019 election. This interference reportedly included financial payments to at least 11 federal candidates and “numerous Beijing operatives” who worked in campaign offices at the behest of their Communist overlords.

Veterans’ cases raise fresh concerns about expanding assisted dying law

OTTAWA — Revelations that some Canadian veterans have been offered medically assisted deaths while seeking help from the federal government are adding to worries about Ottawa’s plans to expand such procedures to include mental-health injuries and illnesses.

Veterans’ organizations are instead calling on Ottawa to increase access to mental-health services for former service members, which includes addressing the long wait times that many are forced to endure when applying for assistance.
