Former Trudeau Foundation trough hog says engaging with Chinese officials was ‘naïve’

Morris Rosenberg, the former president and CEO of the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation, says in retrospect the embattled charity was naïve to think it would have “soft power” over China when it accepted money in 2016 with ties to the Chinese government.

The former veteran public servant told a parliamentary committee Tuesday night that at the time, there was a belief that engaging with Chinese officials would familiarize them with Canadian governance, rule of law and human rights.

“Was that naïve at the time? In hindsight, probably it was naive,” said Rosenberg.

“We felt we could do more good.”

What gall.

The alarm on China’s interference is ringing louder

The evidence of China’s interference in Canada’s democracy was already alarming. Now, it’s doubly so, with fresh revelations that Beijing not only meddled with successive federal elections but also attempted to intimidate a sitting MP.

The Globe and Mail previously reported, based on Canadian Security Intelligence Service documents, that Beijing operatives tried to swing some riding outcomes in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections, although no one is saying those efforts changed who formed government.

Jamie Sarkonak: Trudeau Foundation has deep history of donors with ties to lobbyists

What exactly was going on at the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation when a 2016 donation was made supposedly on behalf of the Chinese government in an alleged attempt to influence the prime minister? A clear answer would be welcome, but the foundation has a long association with donors, and members, who were also trying to gain influence with the Liberal party and the government.

MP Michael Chong a symbol of how little Trudeau cares about protecting Canadians from Chinese interference

When it comes to Chinese Communist Party (CCP) interference in Canadian affairs, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is running out of runway. Not a week goes by that doesn’t bring fresh revelations about just how badly Canada’s national security has been compromised under his watch.


Trudeau cares only about protecting the grift for Canada’s China Class.

I don’t care if a foreign power is behind Trudeau’s ouster, in fact I wish them success and godspeed in their effort.

He said CSIS also confirmed that Zhao Wei, a Chinese diplomat in Canada, was involved.

Bill C-11: Why is YouTube mad at Canada?

A new law that seeks to give Canadian artists a leg up online has left many influencers and tech giants alike seeing red.

They took out subway ads, they posted TikToks, but in the end, the score was Silicon Valley-0, Ottawa-1.

After many twists and turns, and over two-and-a-half years of review, the Canadian government has passed a new law that makes tech giants like YouTube and TikTok support Canadian cultural content.


A pox on both their houses YouTube is Orwellian and Trudeau’s Liberals are Woke Stalinists. 

“Content creators” fear both being included in the government’s planned forced diet of CanCon which will relegate them to a digital Ghetto, and to a lesser extent being excluded as not Canadian “enough” by the CRTC’s annointed “God’s Of All CanCon.” I plan to continue ignoring CanCan as I have always done. Let’s face it with rare exceptions most of it is unpalatable government agenda swill.

I will now reveal an ugly personal truth: Overplay due to CanCon destroyed virtually all pleasure derived from listening to Gordon Lightfoot’s music.

Defence firm paid Ukrainian broker to secure $92M, sole-sourced contract with Ottawa, lawsuit says

OTTAWA — Canadian defence company Roshel allegedly committed “illegal acts” and broke anti-corruption laws to secure a sole-sourced, $92-million contract with the federal government for armoured vehicles destined for Ukraine, according to a former executive’s lawsuit.

Disgruntled ex-employee? Or a cost of doing business?

Polls suggest public has begun to suspect Trudeau is a deceitful ChiCom co-conspirator

John Ivison: Interference news has Liberals looking soft on a country intent on undermining our democracy

Polls suggest voters are skeptical, not only of the Trudeau government’s relationship with China, but also about the PM’s ability to tell voters the truth

OTTAWA — The serenity shown by one senior Liberal official in late March over the Chinese foreign interference saga was at odds with the fever that was gripping Ottawa.

At the time, it seemed the government was in real trouble. There was compelling testimony that suggested the Liberal party was warned by the security services that some of its candidates were helped by the Chinese government in successive elections.


The Michael Chong revelations leave little doubt that the Trudeau and his Liberal Party are criminally negligent for failing to notify Chong of the threat to his family from the Communist Chinese.

It was not an oversight. It is collusion, it is treason.

Trudeau has asked for yet another bullshit investigation designed to exonerate himself of blame for allowing his ChiCom pals efforts to harm a Conservative MP

Trudeau says he’s asked for investigation of Chinese foreign interference aimed at Conservative MP

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he’s asked his officials to investigate a report in The Globe and Mail that says the Chinese government has targeted Canadian MPs behind a Parliamentary motion declaring Beijing’s oppression of Uyghurs to constitute genocide.

Speaking in Question Period Monday, Mr. Trudeau was asked by Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre why a report on the matter from CSIS was produced in 2021 but no action was taken. He noted the Chinese diplomat reported by The Globe and Mail as involved in targeting Conservative MP Michael Chong is still listed as working in Beijing’s Toronto consulate.

“This is absolutely unacceptable and it shouldn’t have happened,” Mr. Trudeau told the Commons.

Seriously. We need to learn to riot like the French.

Liberal Minister Pinnochio Mendicino Caught In Lie: Chinese Police Stations Still Open In Quebec

MONTREAL – Two Montreal-area community groups under investigation for allegedly hosting secret Chinese government police stations say they are operating normally.

Their comments contradict claims made last week by federal Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino, who told a parliamentary committee that the RCMP had closed all the alleged secret police stations in the country.

Why Does Xi’s Puppet Trudeau Fight The Implementation Of A Foreign Agent Registry? Maybe Because A Report By CSIS Says It Would Be An Obstacle To China’s Interference In Canada

China views Canada as a ‘high priority’ for interference: CSIS report

China sees Canada as a “high-priority target” and employs “incentives and punishment” as part of a vast influence network directed at legislators, business executives and diaspora communities in this country, according to a top-secret intelligence assessment from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service.

The report warned that Beijing is the “foremost perpetrator” of foreign interference in Canada. Its agents are unconcerned about repercussions, the report says, because of the lack of obstacles such as a foreign-influence registry of the kind established in the United States and Australia.


Justin has been harping about the potential dangers of a foreign agent registry because Canada is of course racist and we’ll probably use it to single out his ChiCom buddies and disrupt the China Grift. That sounds like the voice of Xi’s Puppet rather than a PM with the nation’s best interests in mind.

The continued exposure of China’s influence operations in Canada points to willful blindness bordering on collusion by the Trudeau government.

I maintain the ongoing exposure of China’s shenanigans may not be the work of a single leaker in CSIS and may in fact be a joint effort involving an ally or allies of Canada seeking to topple Xi’s Puppet because of the obvious security risk Trudeau and his party pose to the west.


PS. In the CBC article linked above detailing the potential harms of a foreign registry Trudeau references the internment of Italian Canadians during WW II. One small problem for Junior is that with a few unfortunate exceptions most detainess really were fascists.

The harm done by Justin Trudeau’s apology to Italian-Canadians might require an apology of its own

… Mr. Liberati compiled his own biographical database of the internees. He found police had detailed dossiers indicating involvement in fascist organizations for at least 100 of them. Even 500, however, represented a small fraction of the 3,500 Italian-Canadians known to have been members of local fascist groups.

“[M]any who later professed their loyalty to Canada had in fact been fervent Fascists and had maintained their positions even during their internment,” Mr. Liberati writes.


The spotlight is shining a little hotter on the Trudeau Family Business
