Liberal MPs pushed back against a motion calling on the public safety minister to set a date before the Christmas break for the government to announce its long-delayed decision on whether to ban Huawei from Canada’s 5G infrastructure.
The motion was introduced by Tory MP Raquel Dancho during a meeting of the Liberal-dominated Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security on Dec. 14.
Citing unreasonable delays in a national-security case, a judge has stayed the eight-year-long criminal prosecution of a man accused by CSIS and the RCMP of trying to leak state secrets to China.
Justice Michael Dambrot of the Ontario Superior Court said he would release his reasoning in the coming days.
Pending an appeal, the decision Wednesday ends Canada’s marathon prosecution of Qing Quentin Huang, an Ontario shipbuilding engineer. In 2013, he was charged under the Security of Information Act (SOIA) after authorities alleged he was caught on tape trying “to communicate to a foreign entity information that the Government of Canada was taking measures to safeguard.”
The Conservative Party has identified 13 federal ridings where they suspect their candidates were targeted by foreign influence campaigns in the recent federal election, Global News has learned.
“… Anyone who makes even a notional effort to check the origins of the stuff they grab off the shelves of any big-box store understands that China is the dominant supplier. The less expensive it is, the more likely it is to have been made in a factory in Guangdong, or Jiangsu or Zhejiang. “
The China Class sold us out.
HALIFAX—As phony virtue signalling goes, it would be hard to beat Canada’s decision to diplomatically boycott the Beijing Olympics.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau claimed that the decision not to send government officials to the 2022 Games reflects Canada’s “deep concerns” about human rights abuses in China.
It’s a meaningless gesture against one of the most evil regimes in history but performative bullshit is Trudeau’s stock in trade. Canada’s China class seeks favour with this mass murdering regime. Justin the puppet will make sure it remains business as usual with the ChiComs.
If you ever wondered just how allergic the Liberals are to saying or doing anything that might annoy the Chinese Communist Party, Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly gave Canadians a good sense of the scale of it on Wednesday. While appearing on CBC’s Power and Politics, she parroted the Beijing line that the now released Canadian hostages Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig were subjected not to a ruthless kidnapping, but to a fair and just legal system.
Now that the U.S. has shuffled to the left enough for Canada to be a politically-aligned neighbor, it seemed the easy choice to follow President Joe Biden and also “diplomatically” boycott next year’s Winter Olympics in Beijing.
The China class is making sure Justin gives the appearance of defiance. It’s all a lie. It’s business as usual with the Communist Chinese slave state.
The RCMP has charged a former member of the Canada Space Agency (CSA) for allegedly working on behalf of a Chinese aerospace company.
Former CSA engineer Wanping Zheng, 61, was charged with breach of trust by a public officer on Tuesday after an RCMP investigation, the CSA said in a statement Wednesday. He is a resident of Brossard, Que., a suburb of Montreal.
OTTAWA — The Conservatives are rejecting a proposed deal over access to documents related to the firing of two scientists from Canada’s National Microbiology lab, arguing the Liberals’ efforts are too little too late.
Liberal House Leader Mark Holland offered the compromise last week. It called for striking an all-party committee to review the confidential documents, with a panel of judges enlisted to settle any disputes over whether the documents should be made public or kept secret.
Canada will not send any official representatives to the Beijing Winter Olympics in February as part of a growing diplomatic boycott by allies over China’s record of human rights abuses.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made the announcement on Wednesday after facing several days of questions over whether Canada would stand with allies that have already announced similar plans.
The China Class wants the public fooled into believing Canada has taken a hard line against their paymasters.
” … Both Democrats and Republicans are raising alarms about McKinsey’s lucrative and highly sensitive contracts with the Pentagon during the Barton years while the company simultaneously provided blue-chip services to shadowy Chinese state corporations, including the blacklisted China Communications Construction Company (CCCC), which has been building heavily-militarized artificial islands in the South China Sea. It was only a few months before Barton’s appointment that Ottawa blocked the CCCC from acquiring Aecon, one of Canada’s biggest construction companies, on national security grounds.
As Canada’s spy agency warns that China’s efforts to distort the news and influence media outlets in Canada “have become normalized,” critics are renewing calls for Ottawa to take a far tougher approach to foreign media interference.
The warning is contained in briefing documents drafted for Canadian Security Intelligence Service Director David Vigneault in preparation for a meeting he had with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau earlier this year.
That meeting focused on the rise of foreign interference in Canada — something CSIS says has become “more sophisticated, frequent, and insidious.”
I bet Justin got mad at CSIS and called them racist.
Skates scratch the ice and a coach’s cry echoes through the arena north of Toronto: “Go! Move, move, move!”
Four teens barrel down the rink, breathlessly chasing a puck.
The scene may be typically Canadian, but the players are all visitors — young Chinese here to master hockey.
It’s been more than two months since the September 20 federal election and the verdict is in. Not the verdict that put Justin Trudeau’s Liberals back in power with fewer votes than Erin O’Toole’s Conservatives, but the expert consensus that a disinformation operation hatched in Beijing was in operation during the campaign, and its target was primarily Chinese-Canadians.
Both Bell and Telus have approached the federal government over the possibility of being compensated by taxpayers, should they have to remove Huawei equipment from their networks, sources have told National Post. The two telecom companies could find themselves forced to replace the equipment if the Liberals end up banning the Chinese telecom equipment-maker from Canada’s 5G networks.
