Lack of ‘national security culture’ in Ottawa to blame for missed intel: ex-officials

Canada’s politicians need to be more proactive to responding to foreign interference by establishing a “national security culture” within the government to recognize threats when they emerge, former intelligence and security officials say.

While they believe institutions like the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) are equipped to respond to national security issues — though underfunded — very few people outside those agencies are experienced with the issue.

There is a security culture in Ottawa, the LPC is fully cooperative with Communist China.

Mendicino concedes there could be new ‘Chinese police stations’ in Canada, insists RCMP will shut them down

Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino concedes there may be new so-called “Chinese police stations” in Canada after saying last month they’d all been shut down, but he insists the RCMP will close any new sites if they do exist.

The Spanish human rights organization Safeguard Defenders said last fall it had identified more than 100 of these alleged Chinese overseas police stations, including several in Canada. The groups says these stations serve to spy on Chinese dissidents in Canada and abroad and collect information about opponents to the regime in Beijing, under the guise of providing resources to Chinese people living abroad.

Could be? That’s the answer you’d expect from a CCP compromised government.

NextStar battery plant will be built: Kusmierczyk

Discussions on Stellantis’ ominous statement on negotiations concerning the $5-billion NextStar Energy battery plant under construction in Windsor involve Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Premier Doug Ford, said Windsor-Tecumseh MP Irek Kusmierczyk (Lib) Saturday.

“It’s so important to this community, it’s so important to the thousands of workers that will have good-paying jobs here for generations to come. I know that we will get an agreement done and I know that this battery plant will be built,” said Kusmierczyk.

It just keeps getting worse. We get to pay for the batteries powering EV’s we’ll likely never be allowed to own.

GUNTER: Secrecy over China threats is another form of racism

On Monday, Foreign Affairs Minister Melania Joly announced the expulsion of Chinese diplomat Zhao Wei, the official from China’s Toronto consulate believed to be responsible for threats against a Canadian MP’s relatives in Hong Kong.

The MP, Conservative Michael Chong, is one of Parliament’s most outspoken critics of the Communist regime’s human rights record. The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) two years ago told senior members of the Trudeau government that Zhao was allegedly coordinating intimidation tactics against Chong’s relatives in China in an effort to get Chong to clam up.

Conrad Black: Free hard drugs for addicts a catastrophic Liberal failure

It is hard for us to miss the unpleasant conclusion that in key areas where questions of public health and ethics intersect, this country, whose governments are so full of ostentation in touting their good intentions and putting on the airs of the bioethical pioneer, has got almost everything wrong. Not only that, it is also secretive about its failings and childishly stubborn in clinging to policies that don’t work. Adam Zivo of this newspaper has composed an extensive analysis of the “safer supply” approach to the alleviation of drug addiction, in which, after comprehensive and diligent research for several months he presents a practically unanswerable case for his view that the safer supply approach has catastrophically failed.

Windsor Mayor Demands Frankie Champagne Extort Tax Payers For Bigger Stellantis & LG EV Battery Plant Bribe After VW Hit Corporate Welfare Jackpot

Windsor mayor calls out Ottawa after Stellantis accuses feds of failing on plant deal

The mayor of a southwestern Ontario city says he expects the federal government to live up to a deal that would see one of the world’s biggest automakers build an electric vehicle battery plant in the area.

Stellantis says the federal government has not delivered on an agreement with the automaker and South Korean battery-maker LG Energy Solution to build a battery plant in Windsor, Ont.

People can’t afford shelter or food and are taxed to death but the fucking Liberals can always find a reason to grease Corporate palms.

‘This is a system that’s breaking’: Toronto food bank lineups swell as grocery prices spike

On Saturday mornings, Maggie Herdman, 31, leaves her home near Jane and Eglinton at 6 a.m. to commute nearly an hour to the Fort York Food Bank. Once there, it can take up to four hours before it’s her turn to shop inside the small College Street storefront.

Before the pandemic, Herdman used to be able to relax, sit down and read as she waited inside. Now, through rain and snow, she stands by as the line snakes behind her towards Kensington Market. “I’ve gotten sick before,” said Herdman, a recipient of Ontario Works. “But I still do it.”


All of this misery lies at the feet of our ruling class. Mass immigration, supported by the Uniparty has driven shelter costs beyond the reach of many, young, old it doesn’t discriminate.

Anybody seen any trickle down from the public service strike? Didn’t they claim they were “fighting” so everyone could enjoy gold plated benefits like they have?

Who thought that Canada would become a Banana Republic governed by greed.

CSIS contacting more MPs to brief them on Chinese political interference

Canada’s spy agency is drawing up a list of parliamentarians for briefings on Chinese political interference and has already reached out to two opposition MPs, more than a week after Conservative MP Michael Chong was informed that he and family members in Hong Kong were targets of Beijing state intimidation.

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service has contacted former Conservative leader Erin O’Toole, who was a candidate for prime minister in the 2021 election, and Jenny Kwan, an NDP MP who has been an outspoken critic of China.

A foreign agents registry bill will be tabled later this year: source

The federal government will move forward with the creation of a registry of foreign agents to help prevent China and other countries from meddling in Canada’s affairs, Radio-Canada has confirmed.

As first reported in La Presse, Canada will table a bill either this summer, or if the Justice Department is not able to draft the legislation in time, in the fall, according to a government source.

The federal government launched public consultations on the concept in March. That outreach effort closed May 9 and a government source said it showed Canadians broadly support the initiative.

‘We’re Close to Treason’: Former CSIS Officer Decries Lack of Accountability On Foreign Interference

A former officer with Canada’s spy agency says that individuals involved in the political process should have to declare they will not cooperate with a foreign power, adding that they should serve jail time if caught doing so.

“Because we’re close to treason here, literally,” said Michel Juneau-Katsuya, former chief of the Asia-Pacific Unit within the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS).
