Remember the 1990s? It was an innocent time when globalization was lifting all boats. Massive, multilateral trading agreements were all the rage. And any trade disputes were modest irritations that could be smoothed over with a few glasses of chardonnay.
Fast forward to the 2020s, and everything has shifted. The brave new world of neoliberal economics has been rocked to its core. And now geopolitical tensions are sparking some very unpleasant shocks to global trade.
If the Babylon Bee claimed Canada’s environment minister was an official climate advisor to the Chinese communist regime, you’d call it too heavy-handed for effective satire. When he really is on the executive committee of the China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development which our aid money helped found, you’d call reality too heavy-handed for effective satire.
What is Guilbeault thinking being the only foreign government official on this body? What is his boss thinking letting him? And what does the Politburo even want him for?
This shows how deep Trudeau has his head up Xi Jinping’s butt and the contempt he holds for Canada.
The country’s total fertility rate has fallen to a record low
The fall in Chinese birthrates might be the biggest story of the 21st century.
Unfortunately, the data — or lack thereof — has been found wanting. A must-read analysis by Liyan Qi for the Wall Street Journal points out that China’s National Bureau of Statistics “stopped releasing annual data on total fertility rate in 2017”.
As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau insists that despite months of delay, his government is “moving forward” with a foreign interference inquiry, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is accusing him of standing in the way.
On Monday, asked by reporters whether the delay in what months ago seemed an imminent announcement of a public inquiry into foreign meddling, was because the Liberals couldn’t lock in someone to lead the process, Trudeau said “no.”
“We continue to work very closely with all opposition parties on making sure that the terms of reference, the person who will be leading it, and the work that is done, is in the best interests of all Canadians… without the kind of partisan toxicity we saw during the fall,” Trudeau said in Charlottetown, P.E.I.
Junior is probably waiting for Xi to approve his choice. They are gonna rag this forever if possible.
Canada’s spy agency says that the Chinese police stations on Canadian soil are part of a network to track down high-level targets overseas and suppress dissent, according to recently released records.
The document, which was obtained by La Presse through the access to information regime and reported on Aug. 21, says the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) believes the stations are but one element the Chinese regime uses to conduct foreign interference.
The Mounties say a retired RCMP officer charged this summer with conducting foreign interference on behalf of China was targeting a wealthy Vancouver real estate entrepreneur named Kevin Sun as part of his alleged activities for Beijing.
Confidential law-enforcement information from the RCMP and FBI provided to The Globe and Mail lays out the reasons why William Majcher faces two charges for alleged offences under the Security of Information Act.
A model Chinese property developer in a sector replete with risk takers is teetering on the edge of default. Short of cash, one of China’s biggest asset managers has missed payments to investors. And billions of dollars have flowed out of the country’s stock markets.
In China, August has been a dizzying ride.
When Vijay Jayaraj was growing up in India, power blackouts were frequent. He said the blackouts affected everything from schooling to employment—because when there was no power, it was difficult to get much done.
He pointed to the cotton industry of South India, a major employer.
“But all the industries were disrupted whenever there were phases … of continuous blackouts, eventually translating into thousands of lost jobs,” he told The Epoch Times
The “rent-a-womb” industry pipelines children born of surrogates in the United States to parents in China, a researcher said. Babies born this way automatically gain U.S. birthright citizenship.
Chinese “rent-a-womb” industry, has been burgeoning in the United States for about a decade, particularly in California, where laws regulating commercial surrogacy and in-vitro fertilization (IVF) are permissive, said Emma Waters, a research associate for the Center for Life, Religion, and Family at The Heritage Foundation.
Surrogacy, a practice where a woman carries a pregnancy and gives birth to a baby for another person or couple, is completely banned in China
So Environment and Climate Change Minister Steven Guilbeault is going to Beijing from Aug. 26–31 to cuddle up to the Chinese Communist Party.
If you think that is too strong a contention, consider how Guilbeault is executive vice chairperson on the China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development (CCICED).
Guilbeault’s loyalty is not to Canada.
It is difficult to decide whether Environment and Climate Change Minister Steven Guilbeault’s forthcoming trip to China is the result of extreme naiveté or outsized egotism.
More likely it is a factor of the two, so perhaps he is guilty of egotistical naiveté.
As part of his mission to save the world, Guilbeault is jetting off to Beijing later this month to talk about climate change.
Once you realize Guilbeault is a ChiCom asset his campaign to destroy Canada’s prosperity makes sense.
With Steven Guilbeault set to be the first Canadian cabinet minister to visit China since 2018, questions have been raised about his role with a Chinese regime environmental body.
Mr. Guilbeault, in charge of Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), will go to China from Aug. 26 to 31 to participate in the annual general meeting of the China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development (CCICED).
Elizabeth May frustrated by lack of detail in top secret documents on foreign interference
“We don’t know their motives. We don’t know who they are and they seem to think that they can be protected by their own narrative that they’re whistleblowers,” said May. “I don’t buy it.
“Every Canadian should care to ensure that our security and intelligence establishment be reliable, that the people who work there take their oath seriously.”
The CSIS Whistleblower performed an invaluable public service in shining a light on China’s influence over a corrupt Liberal government and in revealing the extent of the rot caused by Canada’s China class. May is unfit to carry water for the unknown CSIS staffer.
How come Justin Trudeau’s environment minister, Steven Guilbeault, gives China a pass on its emissions but won’t even bother to negotiate new clean electricity regulations or fossil fuel subsidies with his fellow Canadians in Alberta?
Is it because the Communist Chinese government’s politics are closer to his own than those of the conservative Alberta government? Does Guilbeault have more in common with Beijing than Alberta?
ChiCom Useful Idiot Guilbeault urged to quit Chinese government advisory body chaired by senior member of Politburo
The federal Conservatives are calling on Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault to resign his position on an advisory group to the Chinese government – a body chaired by a former chief of staff to President Xi Jinping – and to end Canadian funding to this organization that instructs Beijing on green development.
The China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development also promotes Beijing’s controversial Belt and Road Initiative, a foreign-investment campaign that has been accused of ensnaring smaller nations in debt and then taking control of their infrastructure for China’s own strategic purposes.
HATE THE LIBERALS.
