“Foreign Interference”

The Paul Chiang affair is now a ‘teachable moment’ for Canadians about Mark Carney

A fundamental moral principle: You don’t get a s’okay, all forgiven, for a stupendous lapse of judgment.

You don’t get to erase the delinquency only after the conduct breach has become public.

You don’t get to offer a palpably expedient (unsolicited and unaccepted) apology when the wrongdoing is exposed.

And you especially don’t get to do any of that — in an X post at two minutes to midnight, following reports that the RCMP is looking into the matter — when you represent a political party that has been steeped in ethical violations.

Chiang affair proves Carney will put himself ahead of Canada: Poilievre

OTTAWA — Former Liberal MP Paul Chiang’s decision to take himself off the ballot only proves the Liberal leader instinctually puts his own interests ahead of the country’s, Pierre Poilievre said on Tuesday.

Speaking to reporters from St. John’s, the Conservative leader commented on the news overnight that Chiang, seeking re-election in his riding of Markham-Unionville, announced he would be stepping aside — just hours after Liberal Leader Mark Carney said he saw no issue with the former York Region cop staying on as a candidate.

LILLEY: Chiang is gone and so is any claim that Carney is a leader

Liberal MP Paul Chiang’s announcement that he would step down as a candidate just before midnight Monday shows a massive failure of leadership by Mark Carney.

It took four days for Chiang to be removed as the Liberal candidate in Markham-Unionville and it came after Carney had spent all morning defending him.

Liberal Paul Chiang ‘standing aside’ after suggesting Chinese bounty be collected on Conservative candidate

Liberal incumbent Paul Chiang will not be running in the ongoing federal election after suggesting earlier this year that people should try to claim a Chinese bounty on a Conservative candidate.

In a statement posted to X late Monday night, Chiang called the federal election “uniquely important,” saying he does “not want there to be distractions in this critical moment.”

CCP-Liberal MP apologizes for suggesting people claim China’s bounty on Conservative

A Liberal candidate running for re-election in a battleground GTA riding is apologizing after suggesting people attempt to claim a Chinese bounty on a local Conservative candidate.

Paul Chiang — the Liberal candidate for Markham-Unionville — suggested during a local Chinese-language media news conference in January that people should claim the bounty on Joe Tay — currently running for the Conservatives in the Toronto riding of Don Valley North.

“To everyone here, you can claim the one-million-dollar bounty if you bring him to Toronto’s Chinese consulate,” Chiang said, according to the Toronto Association for Democracy in China (TADC).

A normal party would kick this traitor’s butt to the curb on grounds of foreign interference but the LPC is a CCP subsidiary.

The Liberal party is still courting China — and wondering why Trump isn’t happy

There’s such a thing as cutting off your nose to spite your face, and the tariff war between Canada and the US is starting to look like a prime example.

On Monday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced a 25 percent surcharge on electricity exports to the US, affecting an estimated 1.5 million households and businesses in New York, Michigan, and Minnesota.

Trump responded with all-caps outrage, raising the March 12 tariff on steel and aluminum imports from Canada from 25 to 50 percent — a move that would be devastating for Ontario’s auto sector. How, the President asked, could Canada stoop so low as to use electricity — a resource that impacts the daily lives of innocent people — as a bargaining chip and a threat?

China, Russia and Iran will ‘very likely’ use AI to target Canada’s 2025 federal election, cyber agency warns

Canada’s cybersecurity protection agency is warning that China, Russia and Iran will “very likely” use artificial intelligence in an attempt to interfere with the 2025 federal election expected this spring.

The Communications Security Establishment released a report Thursday, the Cyber Threats to Canada’s Democratic Process: 2025 Update, that details the impact increasingly powerful and accessible artificial intelligence tools have had on efforts by foreign actors to spread disinformation, harass politicians and conduct espionage or interference.

Canada accuses Indian businessman of foreign interference, disinformation

A south Edmonton split-level with a brick facade and a spruce out front is the unlikely Canadian headquarters of the Indian conglomerate the Srivastava Group.

Run by a New Delhi family, the company claims to have offices in Belgium, Switzerland and Canada, where it owns newspaper and oil and gas businesses.

But Canadian national security officials have alleged the Srivastava Group and its senior executive have also been involved in more secretive activities.

No one likes Justin.

Canada Must End Foreign Interference on University Campuses

The Chinese philosopher Confucius is of course a household name for many. He may have lived 2,500 years ago, but many of his sayings still reverberate today. Here is a sampling relevant to the topic at hand:

“Study the past if you would define the future” and “An oppressive government is more to be feared than a tiger.”

In this country, some may be aware of the presence of “Confucius Institutes” on several university campuses and within school boards. These bodies, sponsored by the People’s Republic of China, were founded in 2007 to “promote the learning of Chinese language in Canada, to foster Sino-Canada educational exchanges and to improve the understanding between Canada and China.” Who could argue with such lofty goals?

Trudeau Government Left Canada Vulnerable to Foreign Interference, Report Finds

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government was “insufficiently transparent” about foreign interference in Canadian politics and sometimes took “too long to act” against attempts to meddle in the country’s past two general elections by foreign powers including China and India, a government commission said on Tuesday.

“Trust in Canada’s democratic institutions has been shaken, and it is imperative to restore it,” the commission said in its final report, which summarized 18 months of hearings, testimony and examination of classified intelligence documents.

Poilievre rejects terms of CSIS foreign interference briefing

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is rejecting the terms of a briefing from Canada’s spy agency regarding foreign interference because it won’t enable him to act on the information, his office says.

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) said in December that it was looking to share “some information to the leader of the Official Opposition through a threat reduction measure.”

But a spokesperson for Poilievre said Tuesday that the Conservative leader wouldn’t be able to act upon the information he received from the CSIS briefing.

Political Class Finds Itself Not Guilty After Thorough Investigation Of Itself: No evidence of ‘traitors’ in Parliament conspiring with foreign states

The public inquiry studying foreign election meddling has found no evidence that “traitors” in Parliament are plotting with hostile states against Canada’s interest.

In her final report, released Tuesday, Commissioner Marie-Josée Hogue wrote that although she has seen a few cases where a foreign state has attempted to curry favour with parliamentarians, “the phenomenon remains marginal and largely ineffective.”

“While the states’ attempts are troubling and there is some concerning conduct by parliamentarians, there is no cause for widespread alarm,” she wrote.

Federal security agencies to monitor Liberal leadership race for foreign interference

Federal security agencies will monitor for foreign interference in the Liberal leadership race, providing some protection after MPs were already raising concerns about potential meddling in the contest.

The Security and Intelligence Threats to Elections (SITE) Task Force will do the monitoring and offer security advice to the Liberal Party and leadership candidates as part of its mandate to safeguard democratic institutions from outside interference, the Privy Council Office announced Monday.

It is the first leadership race under scrutiny by the task force since it was created in 2019; its mandate was at first to monitor only general elections, and then expanded to by-elections.

Elon Musk praises Poilievre, mocks Trudeau as he steps into Canadian politics

As a giant of industry and the world’s richest man, Elon Musk wields influence across the global economy. He’s now leveraging that success to extend his influence into the democratic process in Canada and elsewhere.

In the past week alone, Musk has dipped into Canadian politics on his social media platform several times; endorsing Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, showering him with praise, reposting his tweets and applauding his speeches and media interactions.

If it was Soros you would be reading a Puff Piece.

The Liberals open the door to foreign interference

It has come to our attention over the past few years that Canada has a foreign interference problem, and that a key vulnerability is the lax rules governing federal-party nomination and leadership campaigns.

Maybe you heard about it, too. If so, could you please let the Liberal Party of Canada know? Its brain trust appears not to have a clue and so far is not rewriting its membership rules to shield its upcoming leadership race from meddling.

That race, necessitated by Justin Trudeau’s impending resignation, will not be just any leadership contest, because the winner will automatically become prime minister of Canada.
