Canada’s Corporate Welfare Class

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.

The most explosive and widely publicized allegations of Beijing-directed election interference focus on the two most recent federal elections in 2019 and 2021, and on the nomination of MP Han Dong in the safe Liberal riding of Don Valley North. This, however, only scratches the surface of the all-important question: what did the prime minister, Liberal MPs and senior party officials know and when did they know it?

The upsetting truth may very well extend much further back than 2019, perhaps even decades back to reveal a party systemically compromised by its wilful blindness — which also happens to be the title of investigative journalist Sam Cooper’s must-read book on how “Chinese Communist Party (CCP) agents infiltrated the West.”  

The media’s attempts to expose alleged Chinese election interference has reached full throttle. Whether it continues will depend on three things: the on-going supply of leaks, how political parties react and, perhaps most crucially, how a just-released independent report on interference in the 2021 federal election is received.

We don’t need a public inquiry into foreign interference in Canadian elections

… The interference that should concern us is not something that happens to Canadian democracy, but rather the kind that happens with the collaboration of certain of its domestic participants.

The collaboration may be passive – winking at or acquiescing in foreign interference, rather than taking action against it. Or it may be active: taking orders, or receiving benefits, from foreign actors.

In the present crisis, we have been given plenty of evidence of both, thanks to a series of extraordinary intelligence leaks.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) covertly influenced Canada’s 2019 and 2021 federal general elections in order to re-elect a Liberal government. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau does not want Canadians to know about the Chinese operations in Canada. These are the two threads that are woven through the never-ending-story of intrigue, scandal, and false narratives. It is a serious matter. The details being exposed about the CCP’s support for the Trudeau Liberals involve the integrity of our country’s democratic process.

Momentum is building by the day for a public inquiry to get to the bottom of China’s interference in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections.

Former chief electoral officer Jean-Pierre Kingsley, who served in that post for 17 years, was one of the first to call for an independent inquiry, saying last week that “the legitimacy of government is what is at stake.”

Remember two Conservatives were named as ChiCom Assets. The entirety of the NDP is already on board with the Red Menace so no need to cultivate them.

Our ruling class are all suspects now. The civil service, the political class, the media and the Corporate class. All are suspect.

China appears to have targeted Justin Trudeau in a foreign influence operation after he became Liberal Leader in 2013, according to a national security source who said Beijing’s plan involved donating a significant sum of money to the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation.

The source said the Canadian Security Intelligence Service captured a conversation in 2014 between an unnamed commercial attaché at one of China’s consulates in Canada and billionaire Zhang Bin, a political adviser to the government in Beijing and a senior official in China’s network of state promoters around the world.

Everyone suspected the ChiCom funding but no one in the MSM seemed to care much about it.

Trudeau has to go. It is or should be plainly evident to all that Canada has a China Class problem. The CCP has bought its way deep into Canadian institutions to the point that our mainstream political parties, yes all of them, are likely as ChiCom riddled as the Liberal party.

The likes of Dominic Barton and John McCallum are proof that the rot is well connected and well placed.

And haven’t you wondered why Canada is given the cold shoulder by our 5 Eyes allies?

In common with many others, I have always thought Justin Trudeau’s receptiveness to China was down to naivete.

But, unless he is more transparent about the Liberal party’s dealings with Beijing in the last two elections, it looks like his sympathies were at least in part driven by partisan considerations.

There was an air of desperation in his reaction to media questions on the foreign interference story on Monday, as he maintained the line that the media reporting has been false, and that even discussing the issues is damaging to Canadian democracy.

Three weeks before Canada’s 2019 federal election, national security officials allegedly gave an urgent, classified briefing to senior aides from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s office, warning them that one of their candidates was part of a Chinese foreign interference network.

According to sources, the candidate in question was Han Dong, then a former Ontario MPP whom Canada Security Intelligence Service had started tracking in June of that year.

Good reporting, pity nothing will come of it as it touches all members of the UNIPARTY.
