Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took the opportunity to talk to Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) troops stationed on a NATO mission in Latvia to lecture them about his government’s actions on fighting climate change and disinformation.

“Canada – Security Risk Under Liberal Party Regime”
As NATO firms up military spending target, Canada is trying to broaden what counts: sources
Canada has quietly and consistently lobbied major NATO allies for months to expand the definition of what it can include under the military alliance’s defence spending benchmark, defence and government sources have told CBC News.
The notion of being able to include what the country spends on space, cyber and artificial intelligence (AI) research has been an important topic of conversation, particularly with the United States, said two sources with knowledge of the discussions.
CBC News is not identifying the sources because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
Trudeau’s Newly announced plan to add 1,200 troops in Latvia could take 3 years to complete – not enough Trannies to go round?

Canadian Military’s Readiness, International Relevance Tested by Current Shortcomings: Internal Report
Canada’s military is facing “significant challenges” on a number of fronts which threaten its ability to fulfill its mission, an internal report by the Department of National Defence has concluded.
While those findings are not new and have been previously voiced by various stakeholders and observers, they summarize a strategic view held by the Assistant Deputy Minister (Review Services), the department’s branch in charge of providing independent reviews of the military’s policies and activities.
New Canadian Citizens Receive Maple Leaf Pins Made in China: Federal Records
Immigrants taking the Canadian citizenship oath at ceremonies are receiving maple leaf pins made in China, federal records show.
According to a House “Inquiry of Ministry” document obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter, the Department of Immigration ordered a quarter-million pins from a Chinese vendor last year.
The 250,000 pins were purchased “for distribution at citizenship ceremonies,” wrote the department, in response to Conservative MP John Brassard’s request for the records.
ChiCom Asset Sen. Victor Oh says Chinese Canadians need to fundraise to sue ‘messy reporters’
OTTAWA – A Canadian senator said he wants Chinese Canadians to set up a national foundation that would focus on raising money to fund lawsuits against “messy reporters” and politicians who “try to smear” the community.
A video of Conservative Sen. Victor Oh making the remarks was uploaded to the social media platform WeChat on June 5, showing him addressing a group at what was described as the Montreal Chinese Community United Centre.
The source behind the leaks that exposed Trudeau’s Liberal Party as a ChiCom asset ‘will be found’ and punished, PM’s security adviser says
The source behind foreign interference leaks ‘will be found’ and punished, PM’s security adviser says
The prime minister’s top national security adviser says she expects the security official who leaked sensitive information to the media about attempted Chinese interference in Canadian politics — prompting months of controversy over foreign interference in Canadian elections — will be caught and punished.
“The law has been broken. Sources, techniques have been put at risk. Our credibility with Five Eyes allies has been put at risk,” Jody Thomas told host Catherine Cullen in an exclusive interview with CBC’s The House that will air Saturday.
Senator Oh Arranging 5th Column of 50 Buses to Bring Protesters to Ottawa to Oppose Foreign Agent Registry on behalf of Red China
Addressing an audience in Montreal, Senator Victor Oh said he is planning to rent buses to transport up to 3,000 people to Ottawa for an upcoming demonstration against proposed legislation to create a foreign agent registry aimed at combatting foreign influence.
“We need to rent buses to [transport people] from Toronto. I plan to rent 50 buses. … Each can accommodate around 55 to 60 people, so with 50 buses, that’s 3,000 people,” Oh told his audience in Chinese at an event held at the Montreal Chinese Community United Centre (MCCUC), according to a video posted June 13 on Weixin, the Chinese version of WeChat. The video’s caption said Oh spoke “yesterday,” indicating the event was held on June 12.
National security in shambles under Justin Trudeau
After several months of the Trudeau government’s stonewalling and a series of transparently brazen attempts to draw the curtains down on the clandestine operations Beijing put in motion to the Liberals’ advantage during the 2019 and 2021 federal elections, some good news. It came Tuesday during RCMP commissioner Michael Duheme’s testimony before the House of Commons committee on procedure and house affairs.
White House Says No Plans to Invite Canada to AUKUS, a Concern for Canada’s Military
There are no plans to invite Canada to a security pact between Australia, the UK, and the United States focused on defence technology cooperation, says U.S. National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby.
The trilateral security pact, AUKUS, was formed in 2021 and has been seen as a way to counter China’s growing military presence in the Indo-Pacific region.
I suspect Canada is excluded because we are riddled with ChiCom assests.
Cash-strapped Canadian Armed Forces ‘tenuous,’ veteran soldier says
Fighting fires, shovelling heavy snowfall, delivering vaccines; it’s all become part of the mandate of the Canadian Armed Forces. But when does the combination of dwindling resources (both equipment and people), and a growing call on soldiers “as a force of last resort” to deal with extreme weather events, compromise the military’s preparedness as a combat-ready force?
Terry Glavin: Here’s the report on Chinese interference that Johnston should have written
It’s quite the bombshell. It’s a 77-page investigative report on Beijing’s influence operations in Canada’s democratic institutions. It examines the Chinese Communist Party’s sinister engagements with this country’s political processes, universities, civil society, corporate sector, Chinese-language news media and social media.
Rich in documentary evidence and fact-based analysis, the report also relies on expert advice and named informants, except in cases where the security of individuals and entities would be put at risk. It’s titled Murky Waters: Beijing’s Influence in Canadian Democratic and Electoral Processes.
Oh my! Have a look at who is on the board of David Johnston’s so called “non partisan” charity The Rideau Hall Foundation. It’s only the literal who’s who of CCP creme of the captured crop bootlicker$. It’s so in our bloody faces, ABSOLUTELY CIRCLE JERK AAAAMAZINE I tell ya.… pic.twitter.com/Jfd3NQq5t9

Trudeau Foundation Has Investments in Chinese Companies Flagged for Security Risks, Says Former Board Member
The Trudeau Foundation has investments in Chinese companies Baidu and Tencent, a former board member told MPs on a parliamentary committee. Both companies have been subjects of security warnings.
The Trudeau Foundation was created with a $125 million endowment from the federal government in 2001 in memory of former prime minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau, to provide grants and academic scholarships.
Senators Oh and Woo Play The Race Card Against Foreign Agent Registry in Canada Calling It Anti-Chinese
Senators Yuen Pau Woo and Victor Oh have ramped up efforts against enacting a foreign agent registration act as the Canadian government considers the legislation to combat foreign influence.
Both senators brought up the issue again at a conference that marked the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Immigration Act, held at the Splendid China Mall in Scarborough, Ont., on Saturday, May 27.
The act, introduced on July 1, 1923, is commonly known as the Chinese Exclusion Act, as it resulted from an effort to stop Chinese immigration, stated a May 30 federal government news release recognizing “the national historic significance” of this legislation.
Not trusting these two for some reason.
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.
Terry Glavin: Erin O’Toole — the man China wanted to take down
Right through the 2021 federal election campaign, senior Trudeau government officials knew that the Chinese government and its operatives in Canada were running a sophisticated disinformation and voter suppression campaign targeting the Conservative Party and its candidates, former Conservative leader Erin O’Toole told me on Tuesday.
That much was clear from the briefing the Canadian Security Intelligence Service made available to him last Friday, O’Toole told me. But what remains unclear is why none of these officials said anything — and that’s just one key question that remains unresolved following last week’s report on Beijing’s election-interference operations by “independent special rapporteur” David Johnston.
This revelation should result in arrests except we’re ruled by corrupt men.
