Canada

When you’ve lost the Star …. Johnston’s report into foreign interference failed to provide the needed transparency. An inquiry is needed.

Democracy is built on trust.

It’s the opening line in David Johnston’s first report on foreign interference in our electoral process and it was repeated by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in his response to that report.

But that trust is built on public confidence that can only come from transparency. On that count, Canadians had no reason to be more confident in the government’s vigilance and response to Chinese interference after hearing from Johnston.

This was a Banana Republic Farce. Johnston is in China’s pocket as is the Liberal party. 

Johnston has professed that it would be “wonderful” if all Canadians learned to speak Chinese — his three daughters have done so, having attended several universities in China. When he was awarded an honorary doctorate from Nanjing University in 2012, Johnston had already made more than a dozen visits to China. As president of the University of Waterloo, Johnston oversaw the establishment of one of China’s propaganda-and-espionage Confucius Institutes. He has met Xi Jinping several times and has accompanied several trade delegations to China.

Assuming Singh continues to support Junior then I am on for a march on Ottawa.

Johnston must ‘answer’ on interference report at committee, opposition MPs say

Justin and Johnston China Class Grifters

David Johnston must “answer” as to why he recommended against a public inquiry to probe foreign interference, opposition MPs investigating the allegations say.

Conservative, Bloc Québécois and NDP members of the House of Commons’ procedure and House affairs committee signed a letter Tuesday requesting a meeting to discuss having the 81-year-old former governor general Johnston testify before it.

The essence of Johnston’s report: Trust me, there’s no story here

“I asked the Prime Minister and Ministers if they were aware of any orchestrated effort to elect a LPC minority. They were not.” ` Moron

Give David Johnston credit for one thing. It takes no small amount of courage, when your impartiality has been called into question and when the whole world is expecting you to call for a public inquiry into Chinese interference in Canadian elections – if only to demonstrate your impartiality – to then reject a public inquiry.

Don Martin: David Johnston’s reputation is but a smouldering ruin

Justin and Johnston China Class Grifters

… Sorry, but the perception prevails of them as neighbourly chums in the Laurentian Elite backed by evidence suggesting due diligence was deliberately lacking as he put together his report.

For example, Johnston didn’t reach out to former Conservative leader Erin O’Toole until last week. This was the former leader most vocal about Chinese electoral interference, yet Johnston’s report was already on its way to the printers for translation, by the time an O’Toole interview was booked.

Johnston also took great pains to probe and question the accuracy of news reports yet failed to examine the Trudeau Foundation’s role in the controversy after it received substantial money from Chinese benefactors looking to buy friends in high places.

And his conclusion that senior Liberals didn’t know about Chinese efforts to help elect a Liberal minority mandate was based on merely asking the prime minister if that was the case. Not surprisingly, Trudeau said it wasn’t.

‘A trap’: Opposition rejects Trudeau’s security clearance offer to access confidential annex of Johnston WHITEWASH

OTTAWA – The leaders of the two largest federal opposition parties are rejecting Justin Trudeau’s invitation to receive security clearances in order to review the confidential annex of special rapporteur David Johnston’s report, prompting the prime minister to accuse them of hiding behind “a veil of ignorance.”

On Tuesday, while pointing to the real threat that foreign election interference poses and the need to address some serious intelligence gaps, Johnston recommended against a public inquiry into the federal government’s handling of the issue. He instead plans to conduct more forward-looking public hearings.

Excess Deaths in Young Canadians Jump to 27 Percent

Canadians up to age 44 saw 27 percent more deaths than expected in the last five months of 2022, a big jump compared to the 19 percent seen from the onset of the pandemic in March 2020 up until August 2022, according to Statistics Canada data analyzed by The Epoch Times.

The 27 percent excess deaths among Canadians below age 44 represents 1,597 more deaths than expected between August and September 2022, or 10 extra deaths per day.

Poilievre calls on Singh to force a foreign interference inquiry

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling on NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh to drop the NDP’s support for the Liberals in the House of Commons to force the government to call a public inquiry into foreign political interference.

Former governor general David Johnston, now special rapporteur on foreign interference, tabled a report Tuesday recommending the government not move forward with a public inquiry, citing the sensitive nature of the intelligence an inquiry would have to examine.

Parliament has spoken: We need an independent public inquiry

Parliament has already spoken on the need for an independent public inquiry into China’s meddling in Canada’s electoral system. Opposition parties united to vote in favour of an inquiry, with the (non-binding) motion passing 172-149. The will of Parliament is clear – and it is equally clear that former governor-general David Johnston’s report on foreign interference defies that will.

To have any legitimacy, such defiance would have to lay out indisputable proof that the federal government responded prudently and quickly to China’s provocations. Instead, Mr. Johnston insists that any evidence is classified, and Canadians must simply take his word for it.

Johnston’s Report on Election Interference Is Gaslighting Canadians

Well, there we have it. Former Governor General David Johnston has delivered his much-awaited report on China’s interference in our federal elections. It is fairly thorough, looking at the intelligence process in Canada, the importance of democracy, how governments make decisions, etc., etc., etc. And in the end, Johnston recommended against creating a public inquiry into this matter.

Sabrina Maddeaux: David Johnston sneers at the public in Chinese interference report

David Johnston – China Class Crony

“Democracy is built on trust,” reads the first line of special rapporteur David Johnston’s report on foreign interference. He’s right about that, which is why it’s a travesty that, 55 pages and one rambling news conference later, Johnston failed to take the one action that could begin to restore public trust in Canada’s system.

This deceiful man is in China’s pocket.

The Danger to Canada

Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity — Martin Luther King Jr.

The danger to Canada, writes industrial technologist and army veteran Tex Leugner in The Cochrane Eagle, transcends the state-and-media entente that works to prepare the public for the assumption of elite authority predicated on an ideological agenda. The danger, rather, is delved in the almost insuperable task of “restor[ing] the necessary common sense and good judgment to a lazy, unthinking electorate” prone to electing corrupt, unpatriotic leaders, “a citizenry capable of entrusting an incompetent man with the job of Prime Minister” and refusing to rectify or even acknowledge the blunder: “The danger to Canada is the people in it.”

GUNTER: Johnston sings ‘Sound of Silence’ on China

I don’t trust former governor general David Johnston to conduct a proper inquiry into allegations that China’s Communist government has meddled in Canadian democratic affairs.

Johnston should never have been brought in to investigate claims by intelligence agencies that Canada’s democratic institutions – particularly the Liberal party of Canada – have been infiltrated by agents and surrogates of the Chinese Communist Party.

What a deceitful hack.

Johnston is a paid up member of the China Class and should never have been involved in this matter.

Households now owe more than Canada’s entire GDP, housing agency warns

Canadian households are more in debt than those in any other G7 country, and the amount they owe is now more than the value of the country’s entire economy.

That was one of the main takeaways of a new report from Canada’s housing agency, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, which backstops much of the country’s housing market via mortgage insurance.

In a report published Tuesday, the CMHC’s deputy chief economist Aled ab Iorwerth said Canada’s economy is more at risk to whatever crises may arise because of how much debt Canadian households have racked up.

‘I will not be silenced’: Pierre Poilievre calls on David Johnston to resign, refuses request to review foreign interference intelligence

OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is refusing to review classified information on foreign state interference, stating he won’t be “silenced” as he continues to claim — contrary to the conclusion of a new report he dismissed as untrustworthy — that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau might be “complicit” in Chinese efforts to meddle in Canadian democracy.

Speaking in Quebec City on Tuesday, Poilievre did not waver from his party’s criticism of former governor general David Johnston, who published an interim report earlier in the day as the government’s “special rapporteur” on foreign political interference.
