One of the less appealing things about this country is that its big talk often outstrips its contribution.
We scored a goal in the World Cup and claimed history had been made. History would have been made if we’d won.

RCMP investigating Chinese interference in Canadian affairs, Commissioner says … Nudge, Nudge, Wink, Wink
The RCMP is investigating broad foreign interference by China in Canadian affairs, says Commissioner Brenda Lucki, but she declined to detail precisely what type of activities are being probed by the federal police force.
In a letter sent on Monday to a House of Commons committee studying possible Beijing interference in the 2019 general election, Commissioner Lucki said Mounties lacked evidence of wrongdoing in that vote but they are looking at wider interference by China, including “interference in democratic processes” in Canada.
Bullshit. The LPC and Canada’s China class won’t allow it.
Promoting Social Justice, Climate Change Cooperation in Indo-Pacific Does Nothing to Deter China
The Trudeau administration finally produced its vaunted “Canada’s Indo-Pacific Strategy” and it wasn’t worth the wait. To be fair, it’s not easy to write national strategy documents that are both vague and trite. But if you’re going to try, especially because you’re strongly suspected of having no strategy and no clue, you need to create something muscular.
Man arrested after ‘multiple’ online threats directed at university formerly known as Ryerson
Toronto police said 39-year-old Usman Suhrwardy was charged with 23 separate counts of uttering threats of death or bodily harm.
India’s envoy calls on Canada to crack down on Canadian funding of Khalistan separatist movement
Ottawa can help repair frosty relations with New Delhi by cracking down on diasporic funding of the Sikh independence movement that is seeking to create a sovereign homeland known as Khalistan, India’s new envoy to Canada says.
Sanjay Kumar Verma told The Globe and Mail that India has long been concerned that some segments of the Sikh community in Canada are offering support and money to secessionists who want to separate Punjab from India. Punjab is an Indian state where the Sikh religion is the majority.
Suspected ChiCom Spy charged with economic espionage at Hydro-Quebec given opportunity to vamoose to Commie Slave State
LONGUEUIL, QUE. – A former employee of Quebec’s power utility charged with spying on behalf of China has been freed on bail while he awaits trial.
Yuesheng Wang, 35, is the first person to be charged with economic espionage under Canada’s Security of Information Act, and he also faces three charges under the Criminal Code for fraudulent use of a computer, fraudulently obtaining a trade secret and breach of trust.
Justin feels better now.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard is listed terrorist group ‘by association,’ Canadian court rules
A judge has ruled that Iran’s Revolutionary Guard is a “terrorist entity” under Canadian law, adding fuel to the debate over how to deal with the branch of Tehran’s armed forces.
The Ontario Superior Court found the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) was “a listed entity” because one of its branches, the Qods Force, was already designated as such by Canada.
Why bother when our government lets them in wholesale?

How the American anti-LGBTQ hate machine is posing a threat to Canadians
Seth Compton woke early one morning in July to his phone buzzing furiously with new messages. A wave of hate, stirred up far away, was starting to crash down on the LGBTQ youth centre he runs in North Bay, Ont.
A flyer for an upcoming drag show at the centre had been posted by Libs of Tik Tok, a homophobic and transphobic Twitter account that has around 1.5 million followers and is reportedly run by a New York real estate agent.
For more than a week afterward, OutLoud North Bay — one of the few dedicated spaces for LGBTQ youth in northern Ontario — received thousands of death threats and other hateful comments spawned from that initial post on Twitter, Compton said.
Libs of TikTok merely re-posts what the multilettered madhouse posts itself.
Support for Communist Chinese Spy at Hydro-Québec Shows Need for Foreign Influence Registry: Senator
An RCMP spokesperson told The Epoch Times that the 35-year-old resident of Candiac, Quebec, a researcher, is the first person in Canada to be charged with economic espionage under the Security of Information Act.
But Housakos expressed concern about the attendance of a representative of a group called the Canada-China Friendship Promotion Association (CCFPA) at the Nov. 15 hearing, and her claim that the proceedings are likely to cause discrimination against the Chinese community in Canada, as reported by CBC News.
“We have to fight that. It is discrimination,” said Tina Zhu. “We are human beings, we are the same.”
“We are human beings, we are the same.” – Fuck You Commie Bitch
This rot started at the top with Trudeau eagerly licking Xi’s arse.
Sabrina Maddeaux: Our ‘dysfunctional’ Access to Information system is feeding Canadians’ distrust
Canada has a trust problem, and it’s not one we can afford to overlook. While, for some, “trust” means little more than some vague feel-good vibes, it’s actually a foundation of any functioning society.
When trust begins to erode, it’s very difficult to stop the spread. Distrust may begin with one institution or political party, but it almost inevitably begins to consume others. It eventually reaches outside the political realm, affecting neighbours and communities. Recent polls show only one-third of Canadians believe most people can be trusted.
I don’t trust this article. At no point is the balkanization of Canadian society from mass immigration mentioned.

Trudeau government unveils long-awaited plan to confront an ‘increasingly disruptive’ China
Canada’s long-awaited Indo-Pacific Strategy describes China as “an increasingly disruptive global power” on the world stage — a social and economic force that’s too big to ignore but is also increasingly focused on bending international rules to suit its own interests.
Using some surprisingly blunt language, the strategy says the Canadian government needs to be “clear-eyed” about China’s objectives in the Far East and elsewhere. It promises to spend almost half a billion dollars over five years on improving military and intelligence cooperation with allies in the region.
“China’s rise, enabled by the same international rules and norms that it now increasingly disregards, has had an enormous impact on the Indo-Pacific, and it has ambitions to become the leading power in the region,” says the 26-page document, which was provided to the media in advance of its formal release in Vancouver on Sunday.
Junior refuses to divulge which Candidates received ChiCom funding last election, my guess is the majority were LPC 5th Columnists.
This is all just smoke and mirrors, it’ll be business as usual for Canada’s China class.
From the Globe: This is a bit like a rapist wrapping themselves in the cloak of women’s rights.
Goldy Hyder, president of the Business Council of Canada, said the government’s new policy is based on a “realistic assessment of risks and regional tensions, with a candid recognition Canada must continue to work with China on global priorities such as emissions reductions.”
I guarantee Xi doubled over with laughter when he saw this. – h/t Mauser

Tech Turmoil Complicates Canada’s Policing of the Online World
The government has four bills before Parliament to reign in tech giants at a time when the industry is retrenching.
Back in the spring my colleague Cade Metz, who covers artificial intelligence, driverless cars, robotics, virtual reality and other new technologies for The New York Times, declared Toronto to be “the third-largest tech hub in North America.”
Toronto moved into that position, he reported, because of investments by global technology giants including Google, Apple, Amazon and Microsoft, which all have offices in the city. During the pandemic, he found, a rapidly rising number of people were working from home for Meta, formerly Facebook. Days after Cade’s article appeared, Meta announced that it, too, was formally joining the rush to Toronto and would open an engineering center with 2,500 people.
André Pratte: Trudeau just can’t stop stonewalling on Chinese election interference
Following the publication of worrisome information regarding a Chinese secret campaign to interfere with the 2019 federal elections, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has chosen to stonewall and make this a partisan issue. Considering the importance of what was first reported by Global News, Canadians have the right to honest and thorough answers.
