China accuses Canada of smearing reputation over alleged secret police stations

China on Friday accused Canada of smearing its reputation over allegations China is secretly operating two overseas police stations in Quebec.

Canada should “stop sensationalizing and hyping the matter and stop attacks and smears on China,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said at a daily briefing.

“China has been … strictly abiding by international law and respecting all countries’ judicial sovereignty,” Mao said.

Hmmmm …

Trudeau faces fury of Canadian MPs over alleged Chinese election meddling

 

Justin Trudeau is under mounting pressure to explain how seriously his government has responded to the threat of Chinese interference in Canadian elections in the wake of damning intelligence leaks.

Allegations that the prime minister’s government has failed to act on meddling efforts featured prominently in a raucous session of parliament on Wednesday, as concern over Beijing’s efforts to undermine Canadian elections continues to dominate the country’s politics.

Jesse Kline: Justin Trudeau rejects Canadian patriotism

At this point, it seems mighty clear that, despite the denials, cabinet was well aware that numerous intelligence reports had uncovered evidence of China interfering in successive Canadian elections well before the story was made public in November. It doesn’t really matter whether Prime Minister Justin Trudeau bothered to read the reports, as he is ultimately responsible for his government and, as far as anyone can tell, Ottawa did nothing to counter this direct threat to Canadian democracy.

Trudeau should be dipped in a barrel of excrement every morning.

RCMP are investigating Juniors ‘alleged Chinese police stations’ in Quebec … sure just like they’re investigating Junior’s Winnipeg Lab Espionage

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police are investigating allegations of two so-called “police stations” in Quebec that are suspected to be operated by Chinese government officials.

The RCMP confirmed by email Thursday morning an open investigation by the Integrated National Security Enforcement Team in the province into the two alleged outposts: one in Montreal and another in Brossard, a suburb on the city’s south shore.

Justin Trudeau’s election-meddling defence is on shaky ground after another media leak

OTTAWA Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s main line of defence to accusations he ignored specific CSIS warnings about Chinese government funding of Canadian political candidates began to wobble early Wednesday.

It began with a leak of another secret document: an unredacted committee report never publicly released that, Global News claimed, explicitly advised Trudeau’s office of covert funding of candidates ahead of the federal election in 2019.

It continued with Trudeau deflecting questions about what he knew and when, by deferring to the very committee whose report had just been leaked.

Shaky ground? He’s dead in the water. Trudeau is a congenital liar who should be investigated for treason.

GOLDSTEIN: We’ll never know about election interference under current rules

The more one studies the process the Trudeau government developed to ostensibly warn Canadians about foreign and domestic interference in federal elections, the more it becomes obvious it was doomed to fail, whether or not that was the intention.


Junior and the LPC reek of corruption and have no right to remain in power.

But what recourse do we have given Singh will not act in the interest of Canadian citizens?

None that I am aware of beyond insurrection.

The right of recall and term limits should be election issues.

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.”

Terry Glavin: Beijing simply could not abide Erin O’Toole’s tough-on-China policies

As the evidence mounts and the days and the hours pass, it’s becoming impossibly difficult for the Liberal government to convincingly deny that during the 2019 and 2021 federal elections, Chinese diplomats were involved in a sophisticated interference operation run by regime proxies deeply embedded in the Liberal Party, and that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau knew about it, and said nothing.

The 64 Dollar question: How do we give Junior the Boot? Singh lacks all honour.

Canada’s Intelligence Agency Says ‘Foreign Interference Activity’ by Beijing On the Rise

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) said it’s seeing the continued growth of foreign interference activities from state actors like China, a statement that follows a string of recent reports about Beijing’s interference in Canadian society and democratic systems.

“CSIS continues to observe increasing foreign interference activity by state actors, including the People’s Republic of China (PRC),” said the federal intelligence agency in a Twitter post on March 6.

Rex Murphy: Who needs a public inquiry when you have a ‘special’ rapporteur? We do

We’re going to have a rapporteur examine Chairman Xi’s surreptitious needlework during our Canadian elections. As opposed to, in place of, or more precisely, to avoid a public inquiry.

Surely no one expected anything better. Surely no one expected anything different from Deflection and Avoidance Central, which is the Prime Minister’s Office.

Poilievre presses Trudeau on reports of money from China in Canadian elections

OTTAWA — In the wake of new allegations of foreign interference, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau insisted he has no information about money from the Chinese government working its way into Canadian elections.

Global News reported Wednesday on two briefing notes it obtained through intelligence sources that indicated the government was warned in 2019 and 2022 that the Chinese government was funnelling money to Canadian election candidates.

Why the Intel Leaks on Beijing’s Interference Are More Than Uncorroborated Reports

Senior government figures have attempted to downplay the significance of the leaks

Top federal officials have downplayed the quality of leaked intelligence on the Chinese regime’s election interference in Canada, but a review of what has been reported shows that they are more than just uncorroborated sole-source observations.

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs David Morrison told the Commons Procedure and House Affairs Committee (PROC) on March 2 that there was no interference in recent elections and backed his position by saying disparate intelligence reports can be unreliable.

Trudeau again deflects questions on foreign election interference

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he knows Canadians still have questions about China’s role in the past two elections — but he’s still refusing to answer specific questions about the briefings he has received.

Instead, he suggested Wednesday a recently announced special rapporteur and two intelligence agencies are better placed to look into what kind of information was shared with whom.

“To be quite honest, I know that no matter what I say, Canadians continue to have questions about what we did and what we didn’t,” he told reporters on Parliament Hill Wednesday.

Years after scientists fired from Winnipeg infectious disease lab, RCMP still investigating

The RCMP says it’s still investigating two scientists ejected from Canada’s top infectious disease lab almost four years ago, sparking debate about whether the force is up to the task — or the government is committed to seeing through the potentially embarrassing case.
