Blackie’s Star Mad That Rest Of Canadian Media Not Hating On Poilievre Enough For Ridiculing Special Crony Report

In attacking David Johnston, Pierre Poilievre borrows a disgraceful tactic from Donald Trump

The best way to disrupt an investigation is to discredit the investigators.

Pierre Poilievre didn’t write that playbook. He borrowed it from Donald Trump.

No, this isn’t another hyperbolic comparison between American Trumpies and Canadian Tories. The similarities are eerie, but for one significant exception:

In the U.S., most American media called out Trump’s wilful distortions of how democracy works. In Canada, many in the media are repeating the canards from the Conservative leader about democracy, integrity and impartiality — largely uncritically — while dismissing David Johnston’s report on foreign interference in our elections.

Tiananmen massacre museum opens in New York despite fear of Beijing backlash

When Zhou Fengsuo was looking for a space in New York to display his art collection, he couldn’t believe his luck when he stumbled across 894 6th Avenue in the heart of midtown Manhattan. The numbers of the address – 8946 – were the same as the date he wanted to commemorate: 4 June 1989. It was “unbelievable”, the former student leader marvelled.

That Zhou’s collection, which opened to the public on Friday as part of the June 4th Memorial Museum, ended up in such an uncanny location is the result of a concerted, decades-long campaign by the Chinese Communist party (CCP) to eradicate any remembrance of the 1989 massacre around Tiananmen Square anywhere in the world.

‘Elite capture’ may be a bigger problem than the Chinese government’s intimidation tactics, experts warn

A plot by the Chinese government to intimidate Conservative MP Michael Chong and his family in Hong Kong continues to dominate Parliament Hill, but experts are warning that the Chinese Communist Party’s “elite capture” efforts may be a bigger problem.

While the Chinese government works globally to woo high-ranking people, Canada’s political and economic elites may have been the most enthusiastic and possibly the most willing recipients according to high-profile experts, including a former ambassador to China.

Special Crony David Johnston’s office hired crisis communications firm Navigator to massage China Class talking points

Canada’s special rapporteur on foreign interference has hired crisis communications firm Navigator, his office confirmed on Friday.

In an email to CTV News, a spokesperson for special rapporteur David Johnston explained that Navigator was hired at the start of Johnston’s mandate “to provide communications advice and support.”

China’s new aircraft carrier will be dangerously close to matching US capabilities

Back in mid-April, Chinese forces staged one of their biggest-ever war games rehearsing a surprise invasion of Taiwan. It’s not unusual for People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) and People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) aircraft to fly into Taiwan’s air-defence identification zone – a kind of unofficial defensive area – as a show of strength, and as practice for an actual attack.

What was unusual was the presence of an aircraft carrier. For the first time ever, a Chinese flattop – the four-year-old Shandong – joined the scores of fighters and bombers probing Taiwan’s defences.

David Johnston’s Special Crony position is barely tenable. Can his investigation be salvaged?

David Johnston’s position is barely tenable. Can his investigation be salvaged?

As always, multiple things can be true at the same time.

David Johnston can be both a flawed choice to investigate the government’s response to intelligence on foreign interference — and the target of unfair treatment since taking on that task. The prime minister could have been better off asking someone else to be special rapporteur — and Johnston’s reception from his critics may have diminished the number of people willing and able to do the job.

Multiple things can be true simultaneously but this isn’t one of them.

Junior and Special Crony are closer than they are pretending to be, proven by their own statements.

Johnson is a sinophile of the first order with a vested interest in minimizing his own activity as a member of the China Class.

Nothing else explains his report’s exclusion of O’Toole’s evidence.

‘No one person’ responsible for Ottawa failing to warn Michael Chong he was being targeted, national-security adviser says

A July 2021 CSIS assessment warning Beijing was targeting a Conservative MP and his relatives in China was sent to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s national-security adviser at the time, as well as three deputy ministers, but it’s unclear if anyone read the top-secret document, MPs heard Thursday.

National security adviser Jody Thomas, who was deputy minister of National Defence in 2021, was adamant that Mr. Trudeau was unaware of the threat to the MP, who turned out to be Conservative foreign affairs critic Michael Chong, until The Globe and Mail revealed he was a target on May 1. The Globe report cited the Canadian Security Intelligence Service assessment and a national-security source.

“On vacation” is maybe one step above “the dog ate my homework.”

RCMP says it has shut down ‘illegal police activity’ connected to alleged Chinese ‘police stations’

The RCMP says it has “shut down illegal police activity in Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia” connected to so-called Chinese “police stations” — but it hasn’t said whether it has made any arrests.

In April, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino told a parliamentary committee the federal police service had taken decisive action to close down the alleged stations.

Why the hell are they so secret? 

Who are they sucking up to?

Montreal Groups Had Reported Ties to China’s United Front Long Before Being Suspected as Chinese Police Stations

The community organizations in the Montreal area being investigated by the RMCP for hosting suspected Chinese police stations have had formal ties since at least 2016 to a Chinese regime entity which the Canadian government says is involved in espionage.

The federal police force indicated in March it’s investigating Centre Sino-Québec de la Rive-Sud (CSQRS) and its sister organization in Montreal, the Service à la famille chinoise du Grand Montréal (SFCGM), two not-for-profits which have been tending to the needs of Chinese immigrants for decades.

Sabrina Maddeaux: David Johnston determined to destroy faith in democracy

You could fill a newspaper’s obituary page with all the institutions Justin Trudeau’s Liberals have marred, stomped over like defiant toddlers in the throes of a tantrum and ultimately dealt crippling blows it will take years to recover from, if ever.

The latest: governors general, and the once bipartisanly esteemed David Johnston. The special rapporteur could’ve easily retired in relative peace, but instead Trudeau recruited him back to public life to serve as what very much looks like his puppet.

All these years he’s been in China’s pocket.

John Ivison: The undermining of Canadians’ trust will continue as long as David Johnston remains

NDP leader Jagmeet Singh has said he won’t end his party’s deal with the Liberals and potentially trigger an election, until confidence in the electoral process is restored.

Don’t hold your breath.

A new Léger poll for the National Post suggests Singh’s hope is analogous to the old trope that the beatings will continue until morale improves.

China’s CCP: World’s Most Dangerous Transnational Criminal Organization

China’s regime is trafficking illegal drugs, protected wildlife, and humans. It is laundering cash and participating in ransomware attacks. It steals intellectual property. The ruling group, as a matter of state policy, murders people for their organs.

The Chinese state is not only a dangerous international actor, it is also a common criminal. Perhaps we should say it is an uncommon or state criminal, the most powerful and insidious kind.

What is the world’s largest transnational criminal organization? At 96.7 million members, it is the Communist Party of China.

Only 27% of Canadians believe David Johnston is credible and impartial on foreign interference: poll

OTTAWA — Barely one in four Canadians have faith in former governor general David Johnston’s credibility and impartiality as special rapporteur on foreign interference, a new poll by Léger for National Post shows, while nearly half are unimpressed with the Liberal government’s general handling of the foreign interference issue.
