MacDougall: Trudeau still hasn’t come clean on China’s interference in our politics

When former Alberta premier Jason Kenney was but a lowly minister of state for multiculturalism in Stephen Harper’s Ottawa, he used to be known as the “minister for curry in a hurry.”

The moniker was a nod to Kenney’s punishing weekend schedules: it wasn’t unusual for the minister, despite his work obligations in Ottawa, to wrack up 30 visits in a weekend of campaigning in multicultural hotspots such as Toronto and Vancouver. Kenney would dip into this temple and that, from this cultural celebration to another, sampling the culinary delights of each community as he went.

Former public safety minister Marco Mendicino says he is very worried the public conversation about some parliamentarians being complicit in foreign interference is becoming a “kangaroo court.”

Mendicino said at a federal inquiry into foreign meddling today that it’s important to follow due process under the law before leaping to conclusions about the conduct of parliamentarians.

Trump to propose making interest on car loans tax deductible

DETROIT/WASHINGTON, Oct 10 (Reuters) – Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Thursday will propose making all interest on car loans fully tax-deductible and taking steps to prevent Chinese automakers from selling vehicles in the United States, according to excerpts of a speech seen by Reuters ahead of remarks in Detroit.

Trump will say at the Detroit Economic Club he plans to impose new tariffs to prevent Chinese automakers from building cars in Mexico and exporting them to the United States, part of an effort to appeal to autoworkers in the battleground state of Michigan.

Trump also will say he will formally notify Mexico and Canada of his intent to renegotiate a North American free trade deal to address concerns about Chinese vehicles, according to the prepared remarks. Vice President Kamala Harris has also said she plans to invoke the renegotiation provision if elected.

The reaction to this should be fun. h/t Mauser

A 2021 Chinese interference analysis stalled with Trudeau security adviser

A 2021 analysis of China’s foreign interference operations intended to spark discussion among senior government figures did not make it to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau or cabinet ministers, the Hogue commission heard Monday.

The report, produced by the Privy Council Office (PCO) and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) and delivered in January 2022, was stalled for months in the office of Trudeau’s then-national security adviser, Jody Thomas.

China’s foreign interference goes beyond elections, intelligence expert says

China’s foreign interference extends beyond elections to other key areas of Canadian society, the public inquiry on foreign interference was told Monday.

Martin Green, a former top foreign intelligence assessment expert with the Privy Council, said a special report prepared for the Privy Council’s Intelligence Assessment Secretariat in January 2022 concluded that China was going beyond merely trying to influence Canada.

Is it foreign interference if the government is complicit.

RCMP official won’t say whether Chinese ‘police stations’ are still operating in Canada

An RCMP official appearing before the foreign interference inquiry today refused to say whether any Chinese government “police stations” are still operating in Canada.

Asked by lawyers and later by journalists whether any of the so-called police stations are still active here, RCMP Deputy Commissioner Mark Flynn cited an ongoing investigation.

“That again falls into part of our ongoing investigation and I’m not speaking about it at this time,” Flynn told reporters.

China’s Patriotic Rhetoric Takes a Violent Turn

China’s Communist Party has for years stoked patriotism in the state media and the country’s classrooms, driving nationalist fervor that at times spun out of control.

Now, three stabbing attacks in four months that targeted Japanese and Americans have exposed a dark side of that campaign, what many in China describe as “hate education.”

In one of the past year’s viral videos, a desk-pounding schoolteacher lectures to her students about China’s “blood feud” with Japan, admonishing them to never forget the atrocities conducted by the Japanese army in World War II. State media praised her, and other teachers reposted her video.

Chinese-made EVs are now subject to a 100% tariff. What does this mean for Canadians?

Canada’s new tariff on electric vehicles from China will reverberate through a multitude of industries and could lead to repercussions well beyond the electric vehicle market, according to analysts.

The 100 per cent tariff on imports of Chinese-made EVs (and some hybrids), including cars, buses, trucks and delivery vehicles, takes effect on Tuesday after a 30-day consultation period over the summer. A 25 per cent surtax on steel and aluminum imports from China will kick in on Oct. 15.

China’s new nuclear submarine ‘sinks’ in blow to military plans

China’s newest nuclear attack submarine has sunk in a shipyard accident, in a setback to the country’s attempts to overtake the United States in a naval arms race, according to US officials.

The sinking of the first of a new Zhou-class of nuclear-powered submarines triggered a scramble for Beijing to cover up the incident, officials told The Wall Street Journal.

The newly built vessel, which features a distinctive X-shaped stern, was sighted on satellite images alongside a pier at Wuchang Shipyard as it was being equipped for sea in late May.
