Conservatives, Bloc Québécois force meeting to investigate Liberals’ refusal to share foreign interference documents with public inquiry

The Conservatives and Bloc Québécois have forced a meeting of a House of Commons committee to investigate the Liberal government’s refusal to turn over cabinet documents on foreign interference to a public inquiry into foreign meddling in Canadian democracy.

The Globe and Mail reported Thursday that the federal government is facing pushback from Justice Marie-Josée Hogue for citing cabinet confidentiality in redacting records provided to the public inquiry investigating interference by China and other hostile states in the 2019 and 2021 elections.


My Theory: People have tuned out the Foreign Interference inquiry knowing that those who perpetrated these traitorous acts will suffer exactly ZERO consequences.

What the China-Russia axis really means for the West

The marriage of convenience between Moscow and Beijing is a product of American decline.

The West has been sent into a wild panic by the prospect of a China-Russia alliance. Since last week, when Russian president Vladimir Putin brought a large, high-powered delegation to meet Chinese president Xi Jinping in Beijing, the Western media have been suffering from a neurotic spasm.

Chinese officials and Triads flooding illegal immigrants into United States: Canadian Report

In 1993 a confidential Canadian report from Hong Kong warned that an unprecedented flood of illegal immigration from Mainland China was threatening North America because China’s government was collaborating with drug-smuggling Triads and corrupt Latin American officials in the multi-billion-dollar business of trafficking human cargo into the United States.

A covering memo explained the Consular report was contentious and “highly sensitive” but also included powerful evidence, as U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) had informed Canada a Chinese Communist leader, the Governor of Fujian, had ties with Hong Kong’s largest Triad.

Details of the lengthy study, Passports of Convenience, Corrupt Officials and Triad Involvement in Illegal Immigration, have never been reported.

A U.S. congressional committee has summoned the country’s Director of National Intelligence for a briefing on the firing of two Canadian scientists from Ottawa’s high-security infectious-disease laboratory in Winnipeg.

Trudeau cabinet withholding documents on foreign interference from inquiry

The Liberal government is facing pushback from Justice Marie-Josée Hogue for citing cabinet confidentiality in redacting records provided to the public inquiry investigating meddling by China and other hostile states in Canadian democracy.

The government is also completely withholding an undisclosed number of cabinet documents, according to the Privy Council Office (PCO), which reports directly to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Trudeau government offers emotional support program for foreign spies

The release of over 600 pages of classified documents concerning security breaches at Canada’s National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) in Winnipeg this past February shed a light on one of this country’s most shocking cases of espionage.

NML scientists Xiangguo Qiu and Keding Cheng essentially used Canada’s highest-security biohazard lab as a lending library for Chinese military interests. During her time as head of Vaccines and Antivirals in the NML’s Zoonotic Diseases and Special Pathogens Division, Qiu repeatedly acted on China’s behalf, including by transferring knowledge and materials from the NML to Chinese institutions. The files led bare Canada’s shocking inability to protect its own secrets.

Chinese Spy Defector Shares New Info on Dissident Whose ‘Mysterious’ Death in Canada Was Cited as a Warning

A former Chinese spy has revealed new information about the Chinese regime’s targeting of a Chinese dissident who died in British Columbia in 2022.

While the RCMP says the death was not suspicious, it was raised as a warning last year to another exiled Chinese activist now living in Toronto. The warning was conveyed in a phone call between the activist and one of his friends in China, whom the activist said was under pressure from Chinese police and described the death as being “under mysterious circumstances.”

Beverley McLachlin’s continued tenure on Hong Kong’s court is an ongoing disgrace

Beverley McLachlin has spent the past six years servicing the reputation of Hong Kong’s top court, while destroying the one she spent a lifetime building in Canada.

Had she decided, upon her retirement from the Supreme Court of Canada in 2017, to invest in a nice condo in Boca Raton and take up watercolour portraits or something, her legacy would have been set as one of the most esteemed and accomplished jurists in generations. She was the first woman and longest-serving chief justice of the Supreme Court; she was a professor, an author, and at times, a polarizing figure, but her fidelity to law and order, to democracy and fairness was without question. But Ms. McLachlin has torched that very legacy by renting out her reputation to a sham court operating under the thumb of Beijing’s repressive and authoritarian regime.

Intelligence chief warns Canadians that China can use TikTok to spy on them

In some of his most hawkish comments to date, the head of Canada’s intelligence agency is warning Canadians — including teenagers — against using the wildly popular video app TikTok.

“My answer as director of [the Canadian Security Intelligence Service] is that there is a very clear strategy on the part of the government of China … to be able to acquire … personal information from anyone around the world,” said CSIS director David Vigneault in an interview with CBC’s The House airing Saturday.

“As an individual, I would say that I would absolutely not recommend someone have TikTok.”

Joe Biden’s new China tariffs puts Canada in a bind on electric vehicles

Earlier this week, the Biden Administration announced a sweeping set of new tariffs on Chinese imports. The tariffs target strategic sectors from steel and aluminum to green tech. Headline-grabbing among those were the 100-per-cent levies on Chinese electric vehicles. The tariffs are partly political posturing during an election year, as a prior 27.5-per-cent levy and an exclusion from national tax credits have largely kept Chinese EVs off U.S. roads. More important than the tariffs’ immediate impact, though, are the long-term strategic policy considerations underpinning them.

Canadian Intelligence Flags 2 Canada-Based Media as Being Close to the CCP

Two Ontario-based Chinese media outlets that had published information aimed at former Conservative MP Kenny Chiu weeks before the 2021 federal election have been identified in the foreign interference inquiry report as having “close links” to the Beijing regime.

“Canadian intelligence holdings identify both 105.9 Yes My Radio and CGCTV as having close links to the PRC [People’s Republic of China] government or PRC state-media,” stated the interim report published by the foreign interference commission on May 3.

Chinese Communist Party Is Linked to an Organization Responsible for Anti-Israel Protests in America

An organization tied to the Chinese Communist Party has funded, in part, a radical anti-Israel group since its formation in October 2023, a new report finds.

The report from the Network Contagion Research Institute says that the anti-Israel group Shut It Down for Palestine is funded in part by Chinese programs that promote “alternative anti-establishment media organizations promoting anti-American narratives, as well as seemingly grassroots activist movements.”

Toronto banker tied to Trudeau fundraiser slaps Globe and Mail with $250-million libel suit

A Toronto businessman that reportedly attended a private fundraiser with Prime Minister Trudeau in May 2016 before winning approval to launch a bank catering to Chinese-Canadians has slapped the Globe and Mail and myriad government defendants including CSIS director David Vigneault with an extraordinary $250-million libel suit seeking to expunge a series of articles that suggest Ottawa is concerned Beijing is clandestinely pursuing a range of geopolitical and economic strategies “that are a direct threat to our national security and sovereignty.”

The lawsuit, filed May 9 in Toronto Superior Court, alleges Canada’s leading newspaper has defamed the plaintiff and his bank.

Huawei Enlisted Entire Nortel Team for 5G, Team Leader Now a Royal Society of Canada Fellow

When Canada’s Nortel Networks went bankrupt in 2009, China’s Huawei recruited an entire Nortel team to its Canadian arm to advance its 5G networks development. As Canada banned Huawei in its 5G network in 2022 over security concerns, the former Nortel team leader became a Royal Society of Canada fellow that same year.

Wen Tong, the established engineer who brought his Nortel team with him to join Huawei Canada in 2009, currently leads the Chinese telecom giant’s 5G wireless technologies research.
