The RCMP says it has arrested a Hydro-Québec employee for espionage following a months-long investigation.
In a news release, the RCMP alleges that 35-year-old Yuesheng Wang from Candiac, Que., obtained trade secrets to benefit China, “to the detriment of Canada’s economic interests.
He’ll be released and then sue for discrimination.

Trudeau says international authorities will make determination of Uyghur genocide
Canada is facing a key test of its China strategy, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to come face to face with Chinese leader Xi Jinping at the upcoming G20 meetings in Indonesia.
Questions about Canada’s stance on Beijing — which are expected to be articulated more clearly in an upcoming release of an Indo-Pacific strategy document — followed Trudeau as he began a tour of Southeast Asia, including several days at a meeting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in Cambodia.
The opposition has also criticized the prime minister over reports that China sought to sway the 2019 federal election.
Don’t expect Justin Trudeau to ask Chinese President Xi Jinping about China’s interference in Canada’s last two elections. A report by Global News last week revealed that Trudeau was presented with a CSIS report last January detailing China’s interference in the 2019 federal election.
The “peril” Canada faces if it chooses not to act on allegations of Chinese foreign interference is “significant,” experts on China are warning.
The comment comes after Global News reported on Monday that Canadian intelligence officials warned Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that China has allegedly been targeting Canada with a vast campaign of foreign interference, which included funding a clandestine network of at least 11 federal candidates running in the 2019 election.
Canada’s China class tells Justin what to do, not the other way around.
Can we take a break from lecturing Americans about the state of their democracy and focus for a bit on problems with our own?
Canadians love to watch from a safe distance when all the horrors and glories of the American political system are on display, as they are this week as we comb through the results of their midterm elections.
We especially love to pat ourselves on the back for the fact that our system is, for the most part, mercifully free of the most extreme elements of U.S. politics. That’s mostly just good for our national self-regard, but it would be a shame if it distracts us from the disturbing possibility that a foreign power has been actively interfering in our own recent national elections, even changing the outcome in at least one case.
From the Star no less.
Even now he thinks they’re “games.” After all the warnings about the Chinese Communist Party’s sinister intentions and methods, our prime minister told a news conference: “Unfortunately we’re seeing that countries, state actors from around the world, whether it’s China or others, are continuing to play aggressive games with our institutions, with our democracies.” If these manoeuvres are “games,” the state actors are playing for keeps. We don’t seem to be.
God only knows what it’s going to take.
Twelve years ago, the warning came from Richard Fadden, then the director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. At least two provincial cabinet ministers and several municipal politicians were more or less puppets of the People’s Republic of China, he said, initially avoiding mentioning China by name, for the sake of discretion. “I’m making this comment because I think it’s a real danger that people be totally oblivious to this kind of issue,” Fadden said at the time.
Unless a very damaging leak emerges nothing will be done.
Canada’s China Class exemplified by sleazebags such as Dominic Barton, currently involved with turning what’s left of Canada into a 3rd world shithole via mass immigration, hold sway with our political class.
Canada has been sold out by our elites.
Reacting to claims that China interfered in the 2019 federal election, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said Wednesday that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has failed to protect Canada’s democracy and Conservative MPs are pushing for a parliamentary committee investigation.
Poilievre made the remarks in Vancouver while Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly was giving a speech in Toronto about the release of the Liberal government’s forthcoming Indo-Pacific strategy.
“It’s very troubling that the prime minister has known about allegations about foreign interference in Canadian elections since last January and he hasn’t taken any action,” Poilievre said.
“China is an increasingly disruptive, global power,” Joly told a Toronto audience. “It seeks to shape the global environment into one that is more permissive for interests and values that increasingly depart from ours.
Actually China’s values are much admired by PM Arsehole and he loves the money they dump in his foundation, not to mention their very “Liberal” campaign donations.
OTTAWA — Justin Trudeau’s acknowledgement that the Chinese are playing “aggressive games” by interfering in Canadian elections is about as shocking as Captain Renault finding gambling was rampant at Rick’s Cafe in Casablanca.
The prime minister was responding to questions raised in an excellent Global News report about China targeting Canada with a campaign of interference in the 2019 election that included payments through intermediaries to at least 11 federal candidates.
Eight out of 10 Canadians say China has negative influence on world affairs: poll
More than 84 per cent of Canadians feel China has a negative influence on world affairs and only 8 per cent believe Ottawa should make closer ties with the country a priority, a new Nanos Research poll shows.
The same survey, commissioned by The Globe and Mail, found more than 46 per cent of Canadians feel the United States has a negative influence on world affairs.
But, nevertheless, more than two-thirds of Canadians surveyed felt Canada should make closer ties with the U.S. a priority.
It took Junior an awfully long time to speak out against China, he hasn’t acted just spewed hot air.
Ottawa’s long-awaited Indo-Pacific strategy will call out China as an increasingly disruptive global power, in a reversal of the government’s previous policy of avoiding confrontation with the world’s second-largest economy.
Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly will outline the broad themes of the government’s new strategy in a major speech to be delivered in Toronto on Wednesday to the Asia Pacific Foundation and the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy. An advance copy of the speech was provided exclusively to The Globe and Mail.
New report adds to years of warnings about Beijing’s meddling in Canadian politics: activists, experts
… Dennis Molinaro, a former national security analyst and now a legal studies professor at Ontario Tech University in Oshawa, said he is barred from divulging what he learned while working in intelligence on the China file.
But from those warnings issued in 2010 by Richard Fadden, then CSIS director, to more recent alerts, it is in some ways nothing new, he said.
“CSIS has raised it repeatedly,” said Molinaro. “We have this situation where … CSIS is warning that these activities are going on and we have no way of stopping them.”
Canadian intelligence officials recently confirmed that China is infiltrating and corrupting Canada’s democratic institutions. This needs to be fixed – and that begins with establishing a registry of foreign agents.
Global News reported Monday that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, along with his senior cabinet members, were warned by intelligence officials that Beijing had funded a “clandestine network” of candidates during the 2019 federal election. Beijing allegedly transferred at least $250,000 to at least eleven candidates and planted several operatives who worked as campaign staffers. Beijing operatives were also allegedly planted into the offices of elected MPs in an attempt to control their policy choices.
The RCMP has confirmed it is investigating allegations that former Canadian military pilots were involved in training Chinese military pilots.
In an emailed statement on Nov. 8, the RCMP said it is looking into reports of former pilots from the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) allegedly training Chinese military pilots at a South African flight school.
Just one more example of the hollowed out nation Canada has become thanks to our “elites.” Multiculturalism means never having to worry about a shortage of traitors and Canadians of convenience.
