Carney says he never heard of pro-Beijing group despite photos with its leaders

Liberal Leader Mark Carney says he had never heard of a pro-Beijing lobby group in the Toronto area despite photos on the Jiangsu Commerce Council of Canada’s website showing him with members of its leadership.

He was asked Thursday about Peter Yuen, the Liberal Party candidate for the Ontario riding of Markham-Unionville. Mr. Yuen was appointed to replace Paul Chiang, who stepped down after news broke that he had talked to reporters about how someone could take a Conservative candidate and human-rights advocate to the Chinese consulate to claim a bounty put on him by Hong Kong authorities.

Terry Glavin: Carney may not know why China likes him, but it’s plain for all to see

“One can only correct inappropriate policies in a timely manner if one sticks to seeking truth from facts.”

That will be an uncontroversial proposition to anyone who draws distinctions between good-faith truth claims and instances of brazenly fabricated hogwash. It should be similarly uncontroversial by now to any reasonable person that U.S. president Donald Trump is either unwilling to draw such distinctions, or he’s congenitally incapable of doing so.

Candidate Chosen By ChiCom Carney To Replace Exposed ChiCom Candidate Turns Out To Be Another ChiCom Asset

Liberal candidate Peter Yuen, chosen to replace Paul Chiang, linked to pro-Beijing groups, events

The Liberal candidate selected by Mark Carney to replace one who was dropped over a China-related controversy is a member of a Beijing-friendly lobby organization and has given talks at events honouring a Toronto group that advocates for the annexation of Taiwan by China.

Onetime Toronto police deputy chief Peter Yuen, who is now carrying the Liberal banner in the Toronto-area riding of Markham-Unionville, succeeded Paul Chiang. The former MP stepped down April 1 after news broke that he had talked to reporters about how someone could take a Conservative candidate and human-rights advocate to the Chinese consulate to claim a bounty put on him by Hong Kong authorities.

Canada’s Silent Compromise: How Fear of Election Repercussions Protects Chinese Interference

Having spent decades in intelligence and security, and through the research presented in “The Mosaic Effect,” the book I co-authored, I’ve seen firsthand how Beijing uses sophisticated non-military tools—what we now define as hybrid warfare—to infiltrate and influence democratic institutions. At the core of this strategy is the United Front Work Department, an agency of the CCP that specializes in co-opting elites, manipulating diaspora communities, and shaping foreign policy in target nations.

Smith says she won’t ‘shut up’ after Carney jab at campaign rally

OTTAWA — Liberal Leader Mark Carney joked it would be “a bad idea” to send Alberta Premier Danielle Smith to fight back against U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war with Canada.

Smith fired back at Carney on Monday at a press conference in Edmonton.


I suspect Carney is acting on instructions from Beijing.

You said something nice about Trump you Hitler Lover! “A network of X accounts is targeting Canada ahead of the election”

A network of X accounts is “artificially” amplifying misinformation about Canada’s economy and leadership, according to a report shared with The Logic from digital threat research group Reset Tech.

A coordinated campaign from these accounts spread false stories about businesses decamping for the U.S. as a result of Canada’s alleged economic decline, as well as Canadian support for Donald Trump’s goal to annex the country. The network, which is made up of 73 accounts and “likely hundreds more,” shares material from U.S. right wing sites, as well as Toronto-based Canada Free Press and Montreal-based Post Millennial.

Carney Liberals have lost 3 MP candidates potentially implicated in foreign interference

The Liberal Party under Prime Minister Mark Carney have seen three MP candidates drop out of the election race over allegations of foreign interference.

The latest to resign was Liberal MP Paul Chiang from Ontario. Chiang, who Carney defended as a “person of integrity” before the MP decided to drop out, dominated headlines after news broke that he suggested Canadian citizens turn rival Conservative candidate Joe Tay over to the Chinese embassy in Toronto to cash in on the communist regime’s HK$1 million (CA$183,915) bounty on the Conservative.

RCMP warns of foreign interference on Canadian campuses

Foreign agents are actively operating on Canadian university campuses to silence dissent and scout recruits, according to an RCMP intelligence briefing.

Blacklock’s Reporter says the document, dated December 3 and titled On-Campus Foreign Interference, described covert tactics by foreign states, particularly the People’s Republic of China, to manipulate academic spaces.


Part of the problem is that our universities love both the foreign student revenue stream and the accompanying ideologies.

Terry Glavin: Beware, Mark Carney’s affection for authoritarian China

Liberal MP Paul Chiang said something profoundly unpardonable. Liberal Leader Mark Carney was perfectly content to pardon him for it. But public outrage ensued, so Chiang fell on his sword and resigned. End of story.

Except it isn’t the end of the story. It’s only going to get darker from here on in, as China waits, hopes and plans for Canada to return to the Trudeau-era embrace of the motherland.

CHARLEBOIS: Make no mistake, Canada still at war with world’s largest markets

Canada may still be reeling from a bout of political and diplomatic shock—call it Post-Disruption Stress Disorder (PDSD)—following the April 2 announcement in the Rose Garden by President Trump.

But for both Canada and Mexico, the news was less damaging than feared. Despite the sweeping “Liberation Day” tariffs unveiled that day, our two nations were spared. So were American grocery shoppers.

‘This cannot stand in Canada’: advocates push Liberals to showcase ‘zero tolerance’ after downplaying former candidate’s China bounty comments

Despite an eventual resignation, the initial decision by Liberal Leader Mark Carney to back a candidate after learning he had made light of a Chinese government bounty on the head of a Conservative rival has diaspora community advocates on the front lines of the foreign interference threat saying they’ve lost confidence in the party’s commitment to protect them from transnational repression.

Yet, while Paul Chiang, the incumbent Liberal candidate in Markham-Unionville, Ont., eventually announced late on March 31 he would be standing aside so as not to “cause a distraction in this critical moment,” his delayed departure and Carney’s initial confidence have already caused damage.
