Is the Prime Minister’s Office keeping Justin Trudeau in the dark?
At first blush, such an idea seems outlandish, but what if the PMO had done so in the past? And what if such a manoeuvre allowed the prime minister the luxury and expediency of plausible deniability?
Now the dark arts of PMO advisers would be a major bonus.
During testimony before the House of Commons ethics committee last week, a Chinese-Canadian filmmaker revealed that he witnessed firsthand proxies of the Communist Party of China (CCP) take busloads of people to vote for the regime’s preferred candidate in Canada’s nomination races.
The revelation was made by Toronto filmmaker, Cheuk Kwan. He testified before the committee last Friday that, as co-chair of the Toronto Association for Democracy in China, he’s well aware that such practices of CCP election meddling are the “standard modus operandi.”
“There’s one event that tells it all,” Haitian businessman Marco Larosilière told CBC News from his home in Port-au-Prince.
“Last week, the general inspector of the national police was kidnapped with his son in front of his school.”
If a high-ranking official of the national police is not safe, said Larosilière, “what about the rest of the population?”
Toronto armoured vehicle company rejects Haiti’s claim it hasn’t lived up to its word
Haiti’s troubled government is accusing Canada of stalling in its promised delivery of armoured vehicles, and argues the delay is hindering a plan to clear violent gangs from Port-au-Prince.
Yet the Toronto company making the mine-resistant, ambush-protected vehicles says it’s working as fast it can in the face of supply-chain disruptions and mistakes by Haitian officials.
C’mon Even CAF is saying they’re not up to the task of taming Haiti’s Gangs. That’s how pathetic our government and armed forces are.
Something rotten has spread through this country’s corporate sector, universities and political class
With all their filibustering and obstructionist “rapporteur” manoeuvres to draw attention away from the interference operations Beijing ran on their behalf during the 2019 and 2021 elections, the Trudeau Liberals might think they’re being clever. But they’re being too clever by half.
The longer this drags out, the more light gets shed on the squalid and intimate relationship between the Liberals’ political base in this country’s wealthy and well-connected Mandarin-bloc hierarchy and the Ferrari-driving consiglieri of Beijing’s strong-arming and influence-peddling network in Canada. It’s the same circle of power.
New Democrat Leader Marit Stiles is standing by her candidate in Thursday’s Hamilton Centre byelection after video emerged of Sarah Jama accusing the city’s police force of protecting “Nazism” and targeting “Black Muslim Palestinians.”
Ms. Jama is a real piece of work.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has named his special rapporteur to oversee a suite of foreign interference probes: former governor general David Johnston.
The Prime Minister’s Office says Johnston was appointed after consultations with all parties in the House of Commons.
He will have a “wide mandate” to look into allegations of interference in the past two elections and make recommendations to the government, the PMO said in a statement.
Just another Laurentian crony.
Trudeau says some politicians are playing partisan games on foreign interference
OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the search for answers on foreign interference should be free of partisanship, even as his party’s MPs have filibustered for more than 24 hours at a key parliamentary committee.
What horseshit, Junior turned a blind eye to Communist China’s election interference because it benefited the Liberal party.
Is the defence of Canada a national priority for the Liberal government?
We will find out when Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland unveils the 2023 budget in two weeks.
But, despite alarms being sounded by current and former senior military officers, it is extremely likely that defence spending on new equipment will be squeezed out by domestic issues like health and affordability.

What a mess. h/t DM
Quebecers more likely to have unfavourable views of all religions than rest of Canada: poll
… By far, all Canadians — including Quebecers — are the most skeptical of Islam, compared to other religions.
The clock is ticking for the Canadian military to decide whether to replace its submarines, as Canada’s closest allies push ahead with plans to build new fleets.
The Royal Canadian Navy launched a push to replace the country’s four Victoria-class submarines nearly two years ago by creating a special team to figure out what Canada needs in a new fleet.
The move came in response to growing concerns about the age of Canada’s existing submarines and the amount of time needed to design and build such vessels.
Opposition MPs accused Justin Trudeau of a coverup as Liberal MPs continued a filibuster to block the Prime Minister’s chief of staff, Katie Telford, from testifying before a Commons committee studying China’s interference activities in Canadian democracy.
MPs on the procedure and House affairs committee met Tuesday during the March parliamentary break to debate an NDP motion to call Ms. Telford to explain what she and the Prime Minister knew about Chinese election interference and what they did to stop it.
“Leaked CSIS and PCO documents now show that Beijing worked to help elect Justin Trudeau. That is an accepted fact. He doesn’t even deny it.”
Poilievre was answering a reporter who asked him why he thinks supporters of the Conservative Party are, based on recent polls, more concerned about foreign interference.
OTTAWA — The Canadian government contracted with a U.S.-based military supplier to buy 76 armoured Toyota Land Cruisers for its diplomatic missions around the world in 2018. Five years later, only 33 have been received and it appears that the government has paid millions of dollars up-front for vehicles that have not yet been delivered.
That kind of “deal making” smacks of palms being greased.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said Tuesday the Liberal government’s inaction on alleged election meddling by China has some Canadian voters wondering whether recent election results can be trusted.
Speaking to reporters after a drug-related announcement in B.C., Poilievre said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has “inspired a lot of suspicion” because of his refusal to answer detailed questions about China’s role in the 2019 and 2021 election campaigns.
Poilievre said Chinese interference was known at the highest levels of government but was “kept hidden” until “courageous whistleblowers” leaked national security intelligence to the press.
It’s evident that Trudeau and the Liberal party are compromised.
Communist China has an effective network of useful idiots and fellow travelers well embedded.
Who’s up for mass deportations and confiscation of assets of the guilty ChiComs?
