“Overrun”: Washington’s Grim Verdict on Canada’s CCP Infiltration Crisis

OTTAWA — In his striking conclusion to Under Assault, former national-security analyst Dennis Molinaro reveals that U.S. government sources have privately described Canada as “overrun” with Chinese influence — the ultimate consequence of a fifty-year pattern, begun under Pierre Trudeau and seemingly accelerated by his son, of engaging the Chinese Communist Party on its own terms and to the detriment of Canadian sovereignty.

It’s a finding that resonates sharply as Justin Trudeau’s successor, Prime Minister Mark Carney renews deeper ties with Beijing amid Washington’s intensifying, security-driven tariff pressure on its allies.

CBSA reports huge Chinese fentanyl precursor chemical seizure ahead of Carney-Xi meeting … Carney expected to offer apology & prompt return

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) says it seized 4,300 litres of precursor chemicals used to make fentanyl and other illicit drugs in shipping containers coming from China, which were bound for Calgary.

The seizure occurred in May at the Tsawwassen Container Examination Facility in Delta, B.C., but was publicly announced by CBSA on Thursday — one day before Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping in South Korea.

GOLDSTEIN: Liberals back on China bandwagon

Six months after Prime Minister Mark Carney called China Canada’s greatest security threat, Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand is gushing about forging a “strategic partnership” with it.

“There are going to always be challenges in any relationship,” Anand cheerily told The Canadian Press last week. “What we are aiming to do is recalibrate the relationship, so that it is constructive and pragmatic.”

From WTO to Net-Zero: Observers Question the West’s Persistent Hope That China Will Reform Through Engagement

As then-Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault faced questions about his travel to China in 2023 amid reports of widespread interference by Beijing in Canada’s internal affairs, he said engagement with China was needed to tackle climate change.

Last month, Prime Minister Mark Carney also had words of praise for China on net-zero initiatives, saying on Sept. 22, “In my experience with China, they are, amongst other things, very sincere and engaged on climate.”

Anand says Canada is in a ‘strategic partnership’ with China

OTTAWA – Just three years after Canada called China a “disruptive global power,” Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand says Canada now views Beijing as a strategic partner in a dangerous world.

Anand told The Canadian Press on Monday that a strategic partnership with China means going beyond allowing individual irritants to strain the entire relationship and permitting Canada to advance its economic and security interests.

Rights Groups Urge Ottawa to Maintain Chinese EV Tariffs Amid Canola Dispute

Human rights and civil society groups are urging Ottawa to maintain tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles (EVs), saying that allowing them into the Canadian market could pose national security risks.

Pro-democracy group Saskatchewan Stands with Hong Kong issued a press release on Oct. 16, calling on the federal government to maintain its tariffs on Chinese EVs “in light of serious national security concerns.” The call comes after China’s ambassador to Canada last weekend suggested that dropping the tariffs could prompt Beijing to lift its levies on Canadian canola–a proposal Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe and Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew have urged Ottawa to consider.

The lure of China – What Carney hopes to gain from a Canadian reset with Beijing

Beijing’s biggest fish bazaar is a briny-smelling maze of stalls stocked with massive crabs from Russia, purple lobster from Australia and yellow croaker fish from China’s southeastern coast.

What’s increasingly hard to find at Jingshen Seafood Market, however, are products from Canada: the casualties of a punishing trade war between Ottawa and Beijing.

This lost business is becoming harder for Canada to write off as the United States under Donald Trump grows increasingly protectionist and unpredictable.

Canadians warming slightly toward China amid economic concerns

After years of strained relations, Canadians are showing a modest shift in their views of China, according to new research from the Angus Reid Institute and the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada.

While favourability remains low, more Canadians are signalling interest in focusing on economic engagement with the Asian powerhouse.

It’s not exactly a Love-In.

KLEIN: Carney’s golden chance to rescue Prairie farmers

Prime Minister Mark Carney has been handed a golden parachute by the Chinese government. Their ambassador has said quite plainly: if Canada removes its 100% tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, China will reciprocate by dropping its crippling levies on Canadian agriculture, most notably canola and pork. It’s not a gift. It’s leverage. But it’s an opportunity.

CHARLEBOIS: Dear Ottawa, you can’t eat an electric vehicle

China rarely telegraphs its diplomatic intentions so openly. Yet in recent days, Beijing has done just that — signalling that if Canada were to lift its tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles China would, in turn, remove the punitive tariffs it has placed on Canadian agricultural exports such as canola.

In the often-opaque world of trade diplomacy, such clarity is unusual. And in this case, it’s an unmistakable invitation to de-escalate. So far, Ottawa seems unwilling to take it.


Not an enviable position for Canada. Will the Elbow people purchase China’s EV’s?

Trump is bringing auto-assembly back to the US so Ontario’s auto industry is going to be significantly diminished regardless of which path Carney chooses.

I’m sure Canada’s China class and  Carney’s own web of interests will result in a decision favouring Communist China.

It will be interesting to see Trump’s reaction. Ontario will suck even more.

White House Alarm Over Britain’s China Spy Scandal — A Mirror of Trudeau’s Five Eyes Rift

The LPC was a compromised by foreign influence under Trudeau. Carney continues that tradition.

LONDON — As new details surface from MI5’s counter-intelligence probe into two men accused of gathering information on Conservative China-sceptic MPs, The Sunday Times reports that the White House has privately warned Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government that Britain’s failure to prosecute the alleged Chinese spies could jeopardize U.S.–UK intelligence sharing within the Five Eyes alliance. U.S. officials told the paper that the abrupt collapse of the high-profile espionage case — involving parliamentary researcher Chris Cash and China-based academic Christopher Berry, who was reportedly intercepted returning to Britain with encrypted communications apps used exclusively by Chinese intelligence operatives — has shaken Washington’s confidence in London’s reliability on counter-espionage cooperation.

Kinew says drop tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles to get Chinese duties dropped

WINNIPEG – Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew is asking the prime minister to scrap Canada’s 100 per cent tariff on Chinese electric vehicles in return for China lifting its tariffs on Canadian canola and pork.

Kinew says in a letter to Mark Carney on Saturday that while he believes protecting Canada’s vehicle industry is important, he says the country’s approach “has created a two-front trade war that disproportionally affects Western Canada.”

The premier says in the letter that China’s tariffs — widely seen as a response to Canada imposing the electric vehicle levy — have already caused a sharp drop in canola prices and that one vertically integrated pork producer in Manitoba is reporting a $19 million negative impact on an annual basis.

China will remove canola tariffs if Canada scraps EV levies: ambassador

 

China will remove its tariffs on Canadian agriculture — including on canola products — if Canada scraps its levies on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs), that country’s ambassador says.

“If Canada removes the unilateral unjustified tariffs on Chinese products, China will also reciprocate accordingly,” Wang Di said through a translator in an exclusive interview with CTV Question Period airing Sunday. “And if the EV tariffs are removed, then China will also remove the tariffs on the relevant products of Canada.”


I would not be surprised if Carney plays the China card.

Canada is deeply corrupted by Communist China and defiance of the US will create opportunity for Carney’s carpetbagger pals.

The Elbow people will be in 7th Heaven.
