Senator Victor Oh and former Ontario cabinet minister Michael Chan were signatories among those who signed a 2020 letter from an Ontario-based Chinese-Canadian business association to a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) official saying the association has been promoting China’s image in fighting COVID-19 and pledges continuing support of the “great motherland.”
“With conflict of interest, the rule of Caesar’s wife applies. It must not only be pure but must be seen to be pure.” — Bursey vs. Acadia Motors, N.B. Court of Appeal
Does the conduct of our former governor general, David Johnston, in accepting the position of special rapporteur with respect to the Chinese government’s influence in two federal elections, a post that requires him to decide on the ethics of his friend and cottage neighbour Justin Trudeau, pass the purity test? Meaning, not only is he free of a conflict of interest, but is he “seen” to be “pure,” (i.e. unimpeachable) as well?
Johnston is a member of Canada’s China Class, like Justin Trudeau, Dominic Barton, John McCallum and many others in government, business and academia.
They have conspired to sell our country out to the ChiComs for personal gain.
They deserve nothing but our contempt.
Everywhere you look, China is advancing while the West is distracted by trivialities
It is sometimes not possible to notice great tectonic shifts. At other times it is eminently possible, and anybody with their feet on the ground can feel that ground move. So it is at the moment with the rise of China and the fall of America. Consider the events of recent weeks.
As Winston Churchill famously pointed out, “I never worry about action, but only about inaction”. The Biden administration’s inaction has led to the creation of a new axis of tyrannies: Russia, China and Iran, with North Korea not far behind. As the Tehran Times, which has close ties to Iran’s foreign ministry, wrote: “[T]oday we are witnessing the formation of a new world order….”
Fifty years ago, amid an escalating organized crime problem in the United States, it took the creation of specialized teams and an innovative law, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, to deal a serious blow to mob operations.
Today, facing an ever-growing influence and subversion operation by China’s communist regime targeting countries like Canada, what key tools can be developed to help ward off activities that are clearly against Canada’s interests yet our security apparatus and justice system seem helpless to counter?
It would probably help if we could jail Canada’s China class sellouts.
As China learns from Russia’s failed invasion of Ukraine, it’s just a question of when, not if, Beijing moves on Taipei
The ripples from the war in Ukraine have spread far and wide; they’ve even reached the South China Sea – so it’s time to talk about Taiwan.
According to diplomatic sources in the UK, Beijing believes there is a 48-hour window in which it can attack Taiwan before any international consensus forms.
In that time Chinese forces would need to get across the Taiwan Strait, onto the land and cut off the political and military leadership in Taiwan.
Recent intelligence leaks that revealed Chinese agents trying to manipulate Canadian election outcomes were just the latest wake-up call that the Beijing regime is not a responsible international stakeholder, let alone a trustworthy friend or partner of Canada.
China’s consulate in Vancouver conducts political screening on the potential leadership at influential community organizations that promote candidates for Canadian political office, according to a recording obtained by The Globe and Mail of remarks by a former executive of one of those groups.
Based in Richmond, B.C., the Canadian Community Service Association, or CCSA, regularly attracts Canadian political leaders and Chinese diplomats to its events, calling itself “the Chinese community’s spiritual home,” and a hub for trade and cultural exchange between the two countries.
We have serious security issues with 5th Columns in Canada.
This is what Multiculturalism has brought us to. Tell the Uniparty to take a hike.
Chinese government appears interested in pulling EU away from US, when Biden administration has sought to shore up allies to counter Beijing
China’s muted response to the historic meeting of Tsai Ing-wen, the Taiwanese president, with Kevin McCarthy, the US House speaker, comes as Beijing prioritises a flurry of diplomatic activity aimed at its wider efforts to lure the European Union and other nations away from the United States.
Ms Tsai’s meeting was the highest-level government reception for a Taiwanese leader on US soil in decades, and one that China protested in advance.
OTTAWA – Members of a parliamentary committee say they continue to wait for information about when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was briefed about Beijing’s alleged interference in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections.
MPs from the procedure and House affairs committee have sent a letter to Canada’s top civil servant, the clerk of the Privy Council, following up on their previous request for answers.
Former governor-general David Johnston will be given broad powers to investigate foreign interference in Canada and paid around $1,500 a day over the course of his probe, which follows Globe and Mail reporting on Chinese government meddling in this country’s elections.
Mr. Johnston will be empowered to “review any classified or unclassified records and documents, including, where necessary in their estimation, records protected by cabinet confidence,” the government said in a statement on Thursday detailing his role as special rapporteur.
Johnston is a member in good standing of Canada’s China Class, he’s already a sell-out like Justin.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) openly says it wants to establish dominance in emerging critical technologies as part of its strategy to supplant the United States as the world’s dominant power, establish a new world order and replace the US-led international system established after WWII.
The US has only a little time left in this race. Reports indicate that deep cuts to the military made by several administrations have severely impaired its ability to catch up. Remaining talent and resources will possibly be reallocated in a new administration, if it is not too late by then. China has been supercharging its military for years while the U.S. has sat back, watched, and argued about unrelated social issues.
Forget solar, wind, hydro, and wave power. The capacity to burn coal for electricity generation rose in 2022 despite global promises to phase out the fuel with a defiant China leading the way, a report Wednesday set out.
The foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia and Iran held their first official meeting in Beijing in over seven years on Thursday.
During the meeting, Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and his Saudi counterpart Prince Faisal bin Farhan discussed reopening embassies and consulates of the two countries, Iran’s foreign ministry said in a statement.
I think we’ll see Israel acting against Iran soon.
Both of the federal agencies tasked with reviewing what the Liberal government and security agencies knew about allegations of foreign interference in the last two Canadian elections — and when they knew it — do not have an automatic right to review cabinet records.
The National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP) and the National Security and Intelligence Review Agency (NSIRA) are not allowed to review cabinet documents.
The agency that safeguards those records — the Privy Council Office (PCO) — will not guarantee that either agency will get an exemption from that rule for the foreign interference probe.
