U.S. envoy pats Junior on head, hails Canada’s pivot on China, says Ottawa has ‘woken up’

The U.S. ambassador to Canada is hailing what he calls a pivot on China policy: Ottawa has woken up, he says, to a pressing geopolitical challenge.

David Cohen acknowledges there were worries in Washington about whether Canada was too chummy with China, noting it even came up last year in his Senate confirmation hearing.

But the U.S. envoy says those concerns are being put to rest by Ottawa’s latest moves: pushing Chinese state-owned companies out of Canadian mines, cancelling a contract for RCMP communications equipment and studying the creation of a foreign agents list.

Only a fool would trust Junior.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Apple crushes dissent in America and China

In China, workers were forced to sign contracts promising not to kill themselves. Nets were hung up to catch the falling bodies.

The largest lockdown uprising in China took place at facilities run by Apple’s Foxconn supplier where workers had previously jumped to their deaths. After thousands fled the Apple gulag, making their way through the woods and rural areas to freedom, other employees battled with Communist authorities over abusive conditions and treatment.

‘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?

Will 2023 be the year we discover the truth about Covid’s origins?

It is unthinkable that a credible investigation has not yet been conducted

The search for the origin of Covid-19 has been a story of investigators who suddenly found themselves under investigation.

Virus hunters who had spent years successfully tracking the origins of novel pathogens fell under suspicion of having caused the 2019 novel coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan. An international consortium of scientists, including collaborators in the US, had hunted for novel SARS-like viruses in South China and Southeast Asia, collecting tens of thousands of samples from not only bats but animals and people associated with the wildlife trade or living near bat caves.

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.
