Carney says he never heard of pro-Beijing group despite photos with its leaders

Liberal Leader Mark Carney says he had never heard of a pro-Beijing lobby group in the Toronto area despite photos on the Jiangsu Commerce Council of Canada’s website showing him with members of its leadership.

He was asked Thursday about Peter Yuen, the Liberal Party candidate for the Ontario riding of Markham-Unionville. Mr. Yuen was appointed to replace Paul Chiang, who stepped down after news broke that he had talked to reporters about how someone could take a Conservative candidate and human-rights advocate to the Chinese consulate to claim a bounty put on him by Hong Kong authorities.

There Is No Private Sector in China: The US Needs Officially to Restrict Cooperation with China

US President Donald J. Trump’s current trade stand-off with the People’s Republic of China (PRC) has already induced some Chinese companies, such as Shein, BYD, TikTok and Temu’s parent company PDD Holdings to move away from China and have induced some Western companies – including Apple, Dell, Hasbro, Microsoft, Hewlett Packard, Stanley Black and Decker, Foxconn, Nintendo, BYD Auto, TSMC, Intel, Mazda, Google and Samsung also to move away or diversify.

Terry Glavin: Carney may not know why China likes him, but it’s plain for all to see

“One can only correct inappropriate policies in a timely manner if one sticks to seeking truth from facts.”

That will be an uncontroversial proposition to anyone who draws distinctions between good-faith truth claims and instances of brazenly fabricated hogwash. It should be similarly uncontroversial by now to any reasonable person that U.S. president Donald Trump is either unwilling to draw such distinctions, or he’s congenitally incapable of doing so.

Candidate Chosen By ChiCom Carney To Replace Exposed ChiCom Candidate Turns Out To Be Another ChiCom Asset

Liberal candidate Peter Yuen, chosen to replace Paul Chiang, linked to pro-Beijing groups, events

The Liberal candidate selected by Mark Carney to replace one who was dropped over a China-related controversy is a member of a Beijing-friendly lobby organization and has given talks at events honouring a Toronto group that advocates for the annexation of Taiwan by China.

Onetime Toronto police deputy chief Peter Yuen, who is now carrying the Liberal banner in the Toronto-area riding of Markham-Unionville, succeeded Paul Chiang. The former MP stepped down April 1 after news broke that he had talked to reporters about how someone could take a Conservative candidate and human-rights advocate to the Chinese consulate to claim a bounty put on him by Hong Kong authorities.

Chinese Interference in Our Democracy Needs Far More Attention Than It’s Getting

It is sometimes hard to figure out just what it takes for people to realize a crisis is growing in strength. Like the frog who sits in the pot while the water slowly rises in temperature only to take note after it is too late, we appear to be sleepwalking into a major undermining of our democracy.

I refer, of course, to the problem of interference in our electoral process. Despite decades of intelligence by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), at least one report (by former Gov. Gen. David Johnston) and a lengthy inquiry (the Hogue commission), this is generating next to no attention in the current race to determine who will form the next Canadian government.

Nolte: China Dodges as Establishment Media Speculate About Beijing Banning Hollywood Movies

The far-left Variety is speculating (without evidence) that President Trump’s tariffs have caused China to consider banning Hollywood movies.

“This past weekend in China, Warner Bros. and Legendary’s A Minecraft Movie conquered the box office,” writes Variety. “But it might be a short-lived triumph thanks to U.S. President Donald Trump‘s tariffs.”

Of course China wants Carney for PM

The only thing surprising about Beijing’s dictators wanting Liberal leader Mark Carney to win the April 28 election is that anyone would be surprised by it.

As Conservative MP Michael Chong — an actual “target” of Chinese disinformation — put it in the wake of Canadian security and intelligence officials revealing China’s attempt to promote the prime minister’s campaign on Chinese-language social media: “(China) knows that for a decade the Liberals have turned a blind eye to Beijing’s interference in Canada’s democracy.

Trump’s top tariffs for ‘worst offenders’ take effect

US President Donald Trump’s latest wave of tariffs has come into force, with imports from China hit by a 104% rate amid an escalating standoff between the world’s two biggest economies.

Tariffs ranging from 11% to 104% now apply to imports from around 60 US trade partners, which Trump has dubbed the “worst offenders” for what he considers unfair trade practices.

China has since hit back by raising import duties on US goods arriving in China to 84%.

Canada’s Silent Compromise: How Fear of Election Repercussions Protects Chinese Interference

Having spent decades in intelligence and security, and through the research presented in “The Mosaic Effect,” the book I co-authored, I’ve seen firsthand how Beijing uses sophisticated non-military tools—what we now define as hybrid warfare—to infiltrate and influence democratic institutions. At the core of this strategy is the United Front Work Department, an agency of the CCP that specializes in co-opting elites, manipulating diaspora communities, and shaping foreign policy in target nations.

China actively promoting Carney Liberal campaign: Election watchdog

OTTAWA — Canada’s election security watchdog has accused the Chinese government of promoting Liberal Leader Mark Carney in what it’s calling an “information operation” taking place on Chinese-language social media.

In a Monday morning press conference, Laurie-Anne Kempton, of the Privy Council Office, said the operation is currently being undertaken by Youli-Youmian — the most popular news site on the WeChat social media platform.

Stuck between Trump and China, Canada faces a stacked the deck

The ache of Donald Trump’s Liberation Day noir will go beyond disaster for thousands of Canadians who lose their jobs and see their savings debased by stagflation and battered markets. There will also be historic political implications for whoever forms Canada’s next government.

While we were “spared” the heavier blows that Trump placed on many other countries, Canadian households very much face a painful future of reduced incomes, diminished nest eggs and higher living costs.

Canada is entering its greatest existential upheaval since Confederation. Besides Trump duties that will make Canadian autos, steel and aluminum less affordable to U.S. customers, China has slapped exorbitant tariffs on Canadian canola, seafood and pork exports that will punish farming and commercial fishing families.
