Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government

David Johnston is a remarkable Canadian, a model of integrity and decency throughout a lifetime of personal accomplishment and public service – as professor of law, as principal of McGill and as one of our finest Governors-General.

He is also a wildly inappropriate choice as independent special rapporteur, in the matter of China’s attempts to interfere in Canadian elections, and whatever blame might attach to the Liberal government for allowing them.

Johnston is no saint, just another seedy member of the China class.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is accusing the Conservatives of launching “horrific, partisan attacks” on former governor general David Johnston.

Trudeau delivered a full-throated defence of Johnston on Friday after tapping him this week to serve as special rapporteur on foreign interference.

The Conservatives say Johnston is too close to Trudeau, while the Bloc Québécois allege he has been “chummy” with China.

The Rapporteur schtick is a sham, the public inquiry schtick is a sham. What’s needed is that our government be deloused of the China Class starting with Useful idiot Trudeau and his fellow travelers.

Justin Trudeau’s government has been compromised by the Chinese Communist Party and Canada’s democracy is in jeopardy. This is a startling claim, all the more so for the fact that Canadian intelligence officials are the ones making it.

Over the past month, a series of leaks from within CSIS, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, has stirred up an astonishing storm. In November, it was leaked that a clandestine CCP network had funded and infiltrated the campaigns of 11 candidates in 2019’s federal election.

If there was any chance the appointment of a “rapporteur” to investigate Chinese Communist Party (CCP) interference in two Canadian elections would instill confidence in Canada’s democratic system, the chance evaporated when Prime Minister Trudeau appointed David Johnston to the role.

Two opposition leaders in the House of Commons are dismissing the newly named special rapporteur on foreign election interference as a “family friend” of the prime minister and are continuing to press the government to call a public inquiry.

On Wednesday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau named former governor general David Johnston as the special rapporteur on foreign election interference during the last two federal elections.

In recent weeks, there’s been a great deal of discussion about alleged interference in Canada’s electoral process by the Communist government of China. From what we can gather, from material leaked from CSIS, the Chinese Communist Party allegedly tried to intervene to favour candidates who were sympathetic to their views with illegal donations and to try to help defeat candidates who took a strong position against the Chinese government.

China election interference investigation could cause more anti-Asian racism, communities warn

As Ottawa launches investigations into claims China interfered in two elections, some members of the Chinese diaspora are warning about an increase in anti-Asian racism, while others say racism could be used to hinder the search for the truth.

“The first thing we need to be very sure about is that racism is not being used as a shield to deflect or distract from the real issue at hand,” said Cheuk Kwan, co-chair of the Toronto Association for Democracy in China.

As anti-Asian racism has spiked as a result of the pandemic and as the Sino-Canadian relationship continues to be strained, many question the effect of the investigations on the Chinese diaspora.

Is the Prime Minister’s Office keeping Justin Trudeau in the dark?

At first blush, such an idea seems outlandish, but what if the PMO had done so in the past? And what if such a manoeuvre allowed the prime minister the luxury and expediency of plausible deniability?

Now the dark arts of PMO advisers would be a major bonus.

During testimony before the House of Commons ethics committee last week, a Chinese-Canadian filmmaker revealed that he witnessed firsthand proxies of the Communist Party of China (CCP) take busloads of people to vote for the regime’s preferred candidate in Canada’s nomination races.

The revelation was made by Toronto filmmaker, Cheuk Kwan. He testified before the committee last Friday that, as co-chair of the Toronto Association for Democracy in China, he’s well aware that such practices of CCP election meddling are the “standard modus operandi.”

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has named his special rapporteur to oversee a suite of foreign interference probes: former governor general David Johnston.

The Prime Minister’s Office says Johnston was appointed after consultations with all parties in the House of Commons.

He will have a “wide mandate” to look into allegations of interference in the past two elections and make recommendations to the government, the PMO said in a statement.

Just another Laurentian crony.
