Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s claim over the weekend that he does “not have any information,” nor has he “been briefed on any federal candidates receiving any money from China,” raises a few deeply troubling possibilities.
Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government
Elections Canada chief not aware of Chinese election interference allegations
Canada’s top elections officer says he wasn’t aware of allegations of Chinese interference in the 2019 election prior to seeing reports about it on the news.
Testifying before the standing committee on procedure and house affairs on Tuesday, Elections Canada’s Chief Electoral Officer Stéphane Perrault told committee members he wasn’t aware of the allegations — made last month in a report by Global News — until reading about it.
GUNTER: Trudeau’s denial on China’s interference simply ludicrous
Just who does Prime Minister Justin Trudeau imagine is going to believe him?
On Sunday, during a stop in Tunisia to attend the Francophonie summit, our prime minister insisted to Global News that he had no idea who the 11 candidates were who received money and support from China’s Communist government during the 2019 federal election.
Mendicino’s Spokesperson Was ‘Encouraging’ Journalists to Find Dirt on Convoy Protesters, Text Messages Reveal
According to text message exchanges summitted to the Emergencies Act inquiry, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino’s communications director was “encouraging” journalists to investigate who the convoy protesters were before their arrival and where their crowd-sourced funds came from, apparently without knowing if there were any particular concerns to be unearthed.
Carson Jerema: Canada, where traffic violations bring the country to the brink of collapse
Even the lower standards of Justin Trudeau and his advisers for invoking the Emergencies Act were not met
CSIS Director David Vigneault is the latest senior bureaucrat who seems to believe that it does not matter what the Emergencies Act actually says. What’s written in legislation can be safely ignored if doing so helps the government of the day expand its powers. The act of proposing, amending and passing laws through Parliament is just so tedious.
With a Public Service as partisan as Canada’s all outcomes are predetermined.
Mortgage interest costs soar at rates we haven’t seen since the 1990s — stoking fears of another crash
Canadian mortgage interest costs in October increased at a rate not seen since the 1990s housing crash, indicating troubling headwinds for the country’s real estate sector.
In October, interest costs increased year-over-year by 11.4 per cent, the biggest increase since February 1991, when it was 11.7 per cent, according to recent report from Statistics Canada.
Peter Menzies: How Bill C-11 Could Open the Door to State-Controlled Media
Justin Trudeau’s government is seizing control of the internet and granting itself sweeping new powers that turn its communications regulator into a political puppet.
By now a lot of Canadians have heard of the controversial Online Streaming Act (Bill C-11) which defines the internet as broadcasting and puts it under the control of the independent, arms-length Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). I have written previously about the concerns that raises regarding speech censorship and the threat to the viability of online creators.
RCMP monitored hostility from anti-vaccine movement against Trudeau since election
OTTAWA — The RCMP worried that after arriving in Ottawa, participants in the “Freedom Convoy” would try to pinpoint Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s location, documents suggest — just as demonstrators had tried to do during last year’s election campaign.
The concerns are outlined in assessments by the national police force’s intelligence personnel that were tabled as part of evidence presented at a public inquiry probing the Trudeau government’s use of the Emergencies Act in response to last winter’s protests.
The weeks-long demonstrations, which blockaded downtown Ottawa and several border crossings, were driven by opposition to COVID-19 restrictions such as mask and vaccine requirements. Many participants voiced their opposition to the federal government in general and Trudeau himself.
Liberals stick to script amid hard questions over what PM knew about Chinese election interference
Renewed questions about what Prime Minister Justin Trudeau knew about alleged Chinese interference in the 2019 federal election had Liberal cabinet ministers sticking to their prepared notes during question period on Monday.
A few queries into question period, Bloc Québécois MP Alain Therrien challenged the prime minister’s assertion on Sunday that he hadn’t been briefed on the revelations.
Those comments counter ones made by sources to Global News last month that Trudeau was informed in January that as many as eleven Liberal candidates received funding by the Chinese government.
Cory Morgan: What Does Guilbeault’s Uncharacteristic Position at COP27 Signal?
The 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27) came and went with less fanfare than these gatherings usually have. The annual gabfest provides the opportunity for activists, politicians, and celebrities to fly private jets across the world to gather in luxury hotels and chide people for their consumption of petrochemical products.
Xi Dresses Down Trudeau
When you get a tongue-lashing from your boss.
Canada is heavily infiltrated by China, aided by a longtime partnership between the Chinese leadership and Justin Trudeau. See more HERE.
During the G20 meetings, Trudeau, who has been referenced as “little potato” by China, was openly reprimanded by China’s leader Xi Jinping…
Canada: Why the country wants to bring in 1.5m immigrants by 2025
Canada is betting big on immigration to fill the gap in its economy left by aging Baby Boomers leaving the workforce – but not everyone is on board with bringing in so many people from abroad.
Earlier this month, the federal government announced an aggressive plan to take in 500,000 immigrants a year by 2025, with almost 1.5 million new immigrants coming to the country over the next three years.
This plan would see Canada welcome about eight-times the number of permanent residents each year – per population – than the UK, and four-times more than its southern neighbour, the United States.
But a recent poll shows that there is also anxiety about welcoming in so many newcomers.
“The Country” does not wish to bring in 1.5 Million immigrants.
Canada’s Corporate and Political classes are scheming to bring this nation to its knees for profit.
Tory MP Challenges Trudeau’s Claim He Wasn’t Briefed on Chinese Interference in 2019 Election
Conservative deputy leader Melissa Lantsman has challenged Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on his assertion that he wasn’t briefed by security or intelligence officials about China’s alleged funding of 11 candidates during the 2019 federal election.
“Just last week PM Trudeau said he raised the issue with President Xi,” Lantsman wrote in a Twitter post on Nov. 20. “Hard to imagine complaining to the President about something you hadn’t been briefed on?”
CSIS head advised Trudeau to invoke Emergencies Act during convoy, inquiry hears
… David Vigneault, the head of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, told the Public Order Emergencies Commission about his advice to the prime minister during a closed-door interview earlier this month, according to an unclassified summary.
That summary, released on Monday morning, said Vigneault did not believe the convoy posed a national security threat under the CSIS Act but that invoking the Emergencies Act was still necessary.
Michael Taube: Recession is coming, but Trudeau keeps spending like the good times will never end
Every world leader has a favoured set of ideas, policies and programs. When times are good, their preferred strategies can be employed on a regular basis. If economic conditions change and a country’s political direction needs to make a dramatic shift, that same leader has to pivot and be flexible in his or her approach. Unless we’re talking about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Those time-honoured political traditions somehow don’t apply to him.
