Increased Chinese Support for Russia Will Imperil the World

This week, Chinese president Xi Jinping met with Russian president Vladimir Putin to discuss the Russian invasion of Ukraine and Sino-Russo relations. During their meeting, Xi stated that Russia’s development had “significantly improved” while Putin claimed that China “made a colossal leap forward.”

The visit came just days after the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant for Putin for committing war crimes in Ukraine. China is not a state party of the Rome Statute, a treaty recognizing the ICC. Thus, Xi’s visit suggests that China feels no need to hold the Russians accountable for their ongoing invasion of Ukraine. Many members of the international community are also skeptical of China’s neutrality in the war, given Xi’s close relationship with Putin.

Death By a Thousand Cuts: Who Wants Justin Trudeau Gone, and Why?

The pressure has been building for months. What did Prime Minister Justin Trudeau know about intelligence reports on foreign interference in Canada’s elections, and when did he know it? Why is CSIS leaking like a sieve? Why won’t the PM call a public inquiry? And so on, and so on.

Then, 24 hours before Trudeau was to welcome United States President Joe Biden on his first state visit to Ottawa, another bombshell. Global News reported that Liberal MP Han Dong allegedly advised the Chinese consulate to recommend delaying China’s release of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor from prison in 2021, so as not to “benefit the Conservatives.”


It’s a good piece and one that takes a similar tack as my own speculative entry which asked why Jacinda Arden & Nicola Sturgeon suddenly “resigned.” Like Trudeau they are regarded as China’s useful idiots. “

New Zealand’s Jacinda Ardern, Scotland’s Nicola Sturgeon And Canada’s Justin Trudeau – What Do They Have In Common?

Justin’s relegation to the Useful Idiot fringe may help explain the CBC’s ham-fisted propaganda piece published yesterday which sought to reassure someone that Justin was a trusted ally of the US and Five Eyes.

Rex Murphy: Ignoring the Chinese ghost at Trudeau and Biden’s banquet

Ah, the Biden visit.

One of the more empty moments of our turbulent times. A distracted American president and a troubled Canadian prime minister sharing a plate and oozing mutual admiration.

Bring on the appetizers.

Wonderful to see the U.S. president finally drop by. A Canadian visit used to be the first “foreign” stop on every new American president’s itinerary. But better late than never at all.

Trudeau, Liberals should treat China’s election meddling controversy as politically ‘life-threatening event,’ say politicos, pollsters

The China interference controversy is more explosive than the SNC-Lavalin, blackface/brownface or WE Charity scandals, and could carry serious fallout for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, says Prof. Duane Bratt of the Mount Royal University.

China’s attempts to interfere in Canadian elections is politically more explosive than the SNC-Lavalin, blackface/brownface and the WE Charity scandals, and its fallout could carry serious consequences for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s personal political career and the Liberal Party in the next election, say politicos.

“You’re dealing with a very tired government that has these other scandals in the past, but this goes to the heart of Canadian democracy,” said Duane Bratt, a professor of political science at the Mount Royal University, in an interview with The Hill Times. “It is very serious and very damaging.”

MP Han Dong says he has retained a lawyer, plans to take legal action against Global News

MP Han Dong says he has retained a lawyer and plans to sue Global News after it published a story alleging he advised a senior Chinese diplomat in February 2021 that Beijing should hold off on freeing Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor — the two Canadians being held by China at the time.

Dong, who left Liberal caucus last week, confirmed to Global that he had a discussion with Consul General Han Tao but emphatically denied that he had advised Beijing to delay releasing the two Canadians.

Conservatives have softened China stance since riding losses in 2021 election, critics say

Pierre Poilievre’s venture into the Greater Toronto Area’s Chinese community in January was in some ways a standard bit of politicking.

He broke bread with community leaders, answered questions from Chinese-language news media and even said a few words in Chinese, an unremarkable outreach to an important block of ethnic voters.

More notable were some of the others at the meetings.


Don’t expect Poilievre to renounce these tainted relationships. We really are a Banana Republic.

Han Dong to sue!

Ham-fisted CBC propaganda gambit calls on retired US Admiral to run cover for Trudeau and declare 5 Eyes still trusts the ChiCom compromised little weasel

Canadian leaks have not damaged intelligence sharing relationship, senior U.S. official says

A senior American national security official says Canadian leaks of information around allegations of foreign election interference from China have not affected key international intelligence sharing relationships.

“There’s no breach of trust with Canada or the Five Eyes relationship whatsoever,” said John Kirby, co-ordinator for strategic communications at the National Security Council, in an interview Sunday on Rosemary Barton Live. The Five Eyes alliance is made up of Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia and New Zealand.


This is the CBC running propaganda for the LPC. They were asked to polish the turd and find someone to speak nicely about Junior. My bet is 5 Eyes considers Trudeau a rat.

There’s a reason Canada wasn’t invited to join AUKUS and it is well known that Canada is no longer considered a reliable partner.

Kirby is retired and works for the National Security Council in communications, he does not advise the President personally and it is doubtful he has access to real information concerning Canada’s status within 5 Eyes, none that he could divulge at any rate. This was a staged pat on the back for optics, all part of the game. It’s not as if it’s his place to publicly denounce our Useful Idiot PM to fangirl Rosie.

Raymond J. de Souza: Trudeau will drag Johnston down, like he does everyone else

OTTAWA — I admire the Right Hon. David Johnston. Which is why I was disappointed that he accepted Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s invitation to serve as a “special rapporteur” regarding the Chinese regime’s interference in our elections. Trudeau has an uncanny ability to drag those around him down.

Johnston was brought down by his own doing. He is a CCP dupe like our idiot PM. They already inhabit the reputational slums of Canada’s despised “China Class.”

ChatCCP: China’s AI challenge

CCP propagandists will no doubt relish the opportunities that new AI chatbots will provide

The Chinese Communist Party faces a conundrum: it wants to lead the world in artificial intelligence and yet it is terrified of anything with a mind of its own. Chinese regulators have reportedly told domestic tech companies not to offer their users ChatGPT, the Microsoft-funded chatbot that can provide seemingly well-researched answers to pretty much any question you can think to ask it. China Daily, a CCP mouthpiece, has admitted that the technology has already gone “viral” in China. The paper said that AI could give “a helping hand to the US government in its spread of disinformation and its manipulation of global narratives for its own geopolitical interests.”

The Real Reason China is Arming Russia in Ukraine

For all Chinese President Xi Jinping’s declarations of support for Russia during his state visit to Moscow, China’s real motive in seeking closer ties is evidently to exploit the Ukraine conflict to test its military firepower.

Just as Iran has used Ukraine’s brutal war to test the effectiveness of its drone and missile technology, so China’s emerging industrial-military complex is reportedly looking for opportunities to conduct a rigorous evaluation of its new weapons systems; Chinese arms manufacturers are reportedly keen to test the effectiveness of their new weapons systems in Ukraine.

Liberal blindness allowing Chinese interference

The true threat to Canadian democracy from the infiltration of the Liberal Party of Canada by China’s communist government is not that the outcome of elections has been altered, but rather that the government has been compromised in its ability to serve Canadians by caucus members and staffers who are nearly as loyal to a hostile foreign power as they are to this country.


No question that Canada has a serious China problem, but it is one of several.

Multiculturalism and bad immigration practices have balkanized Canada to the point where we are now a nation of imported Fifth Columns.

Cory Morgan: Nothing Less Than a Full, Independent Public Inquiry Into CCP Interference Will Satisfy Canadians

It’s only going to be a matter of time before an independent public inquiry is held to investigate alleged Chinese Communist Party interference in Canada’s democratic system. The longer the Trudeau Liberals continue to kick the can down the road, the more the leaks of damning security agency documents indicating CCP interference will pile up. Whoever the whistleblower may be, they clearly have no plan to stop releasing documents until action on the matter is taken.
