Go ahead, Liberals. Rag the puck, drag it out.

… Johnston’s job is to run interference for Justin Trudeau in this scandal. That’s all there is to it. Johnston is beholden to Trudeau, Trudeau is beholden to Johnston, and they are both deeply compromised by their relationships with Beijing’s emissaries and bagmen in Canada, and by their associations with the Montreal-centred corporate China lobby. And putting on the mask of an “independent” interlocutor is not the first time Johnston has scratched Justin Trudeau’s back, and not the first time Johnston has carried Xi Jinping’s water in Canada.

It’s way worse than you think.

Terry Glavin: Pliant Liberals have helped China embed itself in Canada

Something rotten has spread through this country’s corporate sector, universities and political class

With all their filibustering and obstructionist “rapporteur” manoeuvres to draw attention away from the interference operations Beijing ran on their behalf during the 2019 and 2021 elections, the Trudeau Liberals might think they’re being clever. But they’re being too clever by half.

The longer this drags out, the more light gets shed on the squalid and intimate relationship between the Liberals’ political base in this country’s wealthy and well-connected Mandarin-bloc hierarchy and the Ferrari-driving consiglieri of Beijing’s strong-arming and influence-peddling network in Canada. It’s the same circle of power.

Major General Dany Fortin, military officer acquitted of sexual assault, sues government, Justin Trudeau for $6M

OTTAWA – Maj.-Gen. Dany Fortin, a senior military officer who was acquitted of a sexual assault charge late last year, has filed a $6 million lawsuit against the Canadian government.

Fortin is also suing 16 high-ranking officials, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and chief of the defence staff Gen. Wayne Eyre, alleging defamation, misfeasance in public office, negligent investigation, public disclosure of private facts, breach of confidence and conspiracy to cause damages.

Outcry over China’s interference should spur electoral reform

… The root of the problem is that Canadian political parties have a rather loose definition of what constitutes a party member. Most parties allow people as young as 14 to vote in nomination and leadership contests. Neither do you need to be a full-fledged citizen — permanent residency will suffice. Candidates can go to immigrant communities to recruit new members who may not speak English or understand party policies or even agree with the party’s positions on issues. The candidates can then have donors pay for these memberships in cash.

Why should a Chinese international student who is under 18 or a non-citizen permanent resident get to help decide who will represent a Canadian political party in that riding? Raising party voting ages to at least 18 might help, as would new rules lengthening the amount of time someone must be a paid-up party member in order to cast a vote in a leadership or nomination race.

Who thought this set up was a good idea? Oh yea it was the the same evil bastards that brought us “diversity and multiculturalism.”

Liberal politician in Beijing’s pocket calls for public inquiry into ‘unlawful’ CSIS

A prominent Ontario politician with a history of echoing Beijing’s talking points on controversial issues is urging Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to call an inquiry into Canada’s spy agency, accusing it of a litany of wrongdoing from racial profiling to spreading false allegations.

No different than Justin having the RCMP investigate the CSIS “leaker.”

Terry Glavin: Trudeau’s relationship with China far uglier than any links Trump had with Russia

Just the other day, while I was talking to some Americans about the foreign-interference uproars that have caused such convulsions up here lately, I tried to explain what was going on with a comparison to the Kremlin’s gambits in cyber-sabotage and dirty tricks on Donald Trump’s behalf during the 2016 presidential election campaign.

Read it all.

Names of Candidates Supported by Beijing an ‘Open Secret,’ Committee Told

The Chinese regime’s interference in Canadian elections revealed in recent media leaks is only the “tip of the iceberg,” and anti-Beijing activists say they have a good idea who its favoured candidates are, a Commons committee heard on March 10.

“If we want to say who are the 11 potential nominees that CSIS had kind of mentioned, I can pretty much guess who they are,” said Cheuk Kwan, co-chair of the Toronto Association for Democracy in China.

Kwan was referring to media reporting that the Chinese regime had funded at least 11 candidates in the 2019 election.

Ontario legislature member is part of alleged Beijing 2019 election-interference network: sources

An election interference network directed by China’s Toronto consulate allegedly involved a sitting member of the Ontario legislature, according to sources with knowledge of the investigation into Beijing’s covert efforts during the 2019 federal election.

Those sources assert that Vincent Ke, a Progressive Conservative member in Premier Doug Ford’s government since 2018, served as a financial intermediary in Chinese Communist Party (CCP) interference schemes described in two separate Privy Council Office intelligence reports reviewed by Global News.

I am getting awfully tired of these cocksucking traitors.

WARMINGTON: Trudeau gets help from CBC’s Marg Delahunty in stopping reporters’ questions

While Mary Walsh and her comedic Marg Delahunty TV character scored an exclusive encounter with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, not everybody’s laughing.

Trudeau, who has been stonewalling on intelligence operatives reportedly warning him about Chinese election interference, got some help off the bench, and out of retirement, from Walsh’s Delahunty character in blocking reporters from asking questions Thursday.

Sabrina Maddeaux: From Chrétien to Trudeau, China has had its claws in the Liberal party

The most explosive and widely publicized allegations of Beijing-directed election interference focus on the two most recent federal elections in 2019 and 2021, and on the nomination of MP Han Dong in the safe Liberal riding of Don Valley North. This, however, only scratches the surface of the all-important question: what did the prime minister, Liberal MPs and senior party officials know and when did they know it?

The upsetting truth may very well extend much further back than 2019, perhaps even decades back to reveal a party systemically compromised by its wilful blindness — which also happens to be the title of investigative journalist Sam Cooper’s must-read book on how “Chinese Communist Party (CCP) agents infiltrated the West.”

‘It is simply not true’: Grocery CEOs push back at price-gouging allegations

The heads of Canada’s biggest grocery chains pushed back at allegations they are profiteering from high inflation on Wednesday, telling lawmakers that they aren’t the cause of high food prices — and claiming their profit margins are as razor thin as ever.

“We are not profiting from inflation, it doesn’t matter how many times you say it … it is simply not true,” said Michael Medline, the CEO of Empire Foods, which owns Sobeys, FreshCo, Farm Boy, Foodland and other chains.

Singh unimpressed with Trudeau’s plan for special rapporteur, but prepared to wait and see

OTTAWA – NDP leader Jagmeet Singh is prepared to give the Liberals’ plan for a special rapporteur to look into foreign interference the benefit of the doubt, but he argued a public inquiry would be a better approach to restoring Canadians confidence in their elections.

What garbage. Singh will not lift a finger to derail his meal-ticket.

RCMP investigating violations of security law in connection to leaks of foreign interference allegations

The RCMP says it has launched an investigation into violations of national security information law in connection to media leaks of Chinese foreign interference allegations.

“The RCMP has initiated an investigation into violations of the Security of Information Act (SOIA) associated with recent media reports,” said a spokesperson for the federal police force in a statement to CTV News on Monday.

“This investigation is not focused on any one security agency. As the RCMP is investigating these incidents, there will be no further comment on this matter at this time,” said the RCMP’s Robin Percival.

One last favour from Lucki before her retirement starts.

Wesley Wark: How to get serious about election meddling

The media’s attempts to expose alleged Chinese election interference has reached full throttle. Whether it continues will depend on three things: the on-going supply of leaks, how political parties react and, perhaps most crucially, how a just-released independent report on interference in the 2021 federal election is received.
