“China – Communist Slave State”

OTTAWA – China’s embassy in Ottawa is denying reports of attempted election interference in Canada, saying the claims are “baseless and defamatory” and harm diplomatic relations.

The Liberal government has come under pressure in recent weeks to explain what Canada is doing about allegations of Chinese meddling in the last two federal elections, after they were spelled out in anonymous leaks to the media from security sources.

“China has always been firmly against any attempts to interfere in other countries’ domestic affairs,” reads a statement the embassy emailed to The Canadian Press.

The politically connected Chinese donors who pledged $1-million to the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation and the University of Montreal did not only want to build a statue of the former prime minister.

They also sought to erect a statue at the university’s law school of chairman Mao Zedong, the Chinese leader who brought his country under Communist control and, in his decades as the Great Helmsman, oversaw policies that led to huge numbers of deaths from famine and violence.

“They suggested one of Trudeau and Mao together,” Geneviève O’Meara, a spokesperson for the University of Montreal, confirmed to The Globe and Mail.

OTTAWA — A Liberal MP accused of benefiting from Chinese interference during his election has twice missed Parliamentary votes declaring Beijing’s treatment of Muslim Uyghurs a genocide.

OTTAWA – A newly released independent report on the protocol designed to inform Canadians in the event of threats to the 2021 federal election concludes it worked well overall, but the public should be told more about what it would consider cause for concern.

Former civil servant Morris Rosenberg, who was tasked with writing the report assessing the Critical Election Incident Public Protocol, also made several recommendations for its future in a report released Tuesday.

The protocol was created in 2019 to monitor threats to federal elections. If a threat meets its threshold, the panel created by the protocol can make an announcement to Canadians.

Forget about a partisan public inquiry into alleged Chinese interference in Canadian elections. Investigate immediately.

This is what Democracy Watch is strongly urging following the leak of Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) documents containing allegations that China violated rules and used influence and money to help Liberals win elections.

By now it will have dawned on many people that we have a full-blown, five-alarm national security crisis on our hands.

Two possibilities are open to us; each would be a crisis of a different kind. Either 1: rogue officers within the Canadian Security Intelligence Service have been making a series of sensational and wholly false accusations against the government of Justin Trudeau and certain prominent members of the Liberal Party, in an apparent bid to destabilize the government.

Or 2: the substance of the charges is true. That this is easily the more plausible of the scenarios underlines the gravity of the situation.

The Trudeau tipping point is within sight.

The moment when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau knows he has to quit for the good of the party or the Liberals realize they can’t survive re-election with him at the helm is almost upon us.

The raging China saga has topped an annus horribilis year, which is not yet two months old, for a prime minister who now spends many days huddled in private meetings or touring the country to attend Liberal fundraisers while using ribbon-cuttings to disguise the travel tab as official government business.

Following news reports last Friday that the Chinese government intervened in the 2021 Canadian federal election in favor of Justin Trudeau, the prime minister is seeking to divert attention away from Beijing’s partisan preference.

“It’s not about one party versus another,” Trudeau said amid accusations that the Conservative Party was attempting to politicize claims of Chinese election meddling.

Every “ally” of Trudeau’s Chinada must now wonder how badly compromised the Trudeau government really is and what secrets have been given to the ChiComs by the Liberal Party.
