Liberal MP Leah Taylor Roy (Aurora-Oak Ridges, ON) on Monday would not comment on an affidavit alleging Chinese Communist Party (CCP) operatives interfered in her riding.
Taylor Roy was honoured as a “new local star” at a Chinese Canadian banquet nine days before the election was called, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.
China’s production of batteries for electric vehicles is “definitely not clean,” says energy expert Diana Furchtgott-Roth.
Without its own vast natural energy resources, China is the world’s largest energy importer, but has seized on the economic opportunities of the “green energy” movement. Yet the production of products such as EVs is causing harm to the environment, says Furchtgott-Roth, director of The Heritage Foundation’s Center for Energy, Climate, and Environment.

Chinese government-backed hackers have penetrated deep into U.S. internet service providers in recent months to spy on their users, according to people familiar with the ongoing American response and private security researchers.
The unusually aggressive and sophisticated attacks include access to at least two major providers with millions of customers as well as to several smaller providers, people familiar with the separate campaigns said.
“It is business as usual now for China, but that is dramatically stepped up from where it used to be. It is an order of magnitude worse,” said Brandon Wales, who until earlier this month was executive director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, CISA.
In a recent national poll, more than half of responding Americans believe that China is deliberately exporting fentanyl to the United States for the purpose of harming, or even destabilizing our nation.
Were that true, some might reasonably describe that strategy as an act of war.
For China, it would be historic payback time.
Having lost a generation, a nation, and an empire to opium introduced by Imperial Britain during the 1800s, no one knows better than the Chinese that a drug scourge can bring a country literally to its knees.
Canada has a “serious problem” when it comes to foreign interference by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), according to a new study that investigated the regime’s harassment and intimidation of Chinese-Canadians on Canadian soil.
The research, based on a survey conducted by think tank SecondStreet.org, highlighted that most respondents believed they were targeted for their beliefs—specifically, whether they practised the Falun Gong spiritual faith or Christianity, expressed support for Hong Kong, or simply spoke out in favour of democracy.
On August 23, China’s foreign ministry said that the country had taken “countermeasures” against two Philippine military aircraft near Subi Reef in the South China Sea.
Four days earlier, Chinese Coast Guard vessels, without justification, rammed two Philippine boats near Sabina Shoal as they tried to resupply forces stationed at Flat and Nanshan Islands.

Canada will impose new tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles, aluminum and steel, lining up behind western allies and taking steps to protect domestic manufacturers.
The government plans to announce a 100% levy on electric cars and 25% on steel and aluminum, according to people familiar with the matter, speaking on condition they not be identified because the matter is still private. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to unveil the policy in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he’s gathered with the rest of his cabinet for a series of meetings about the economy and foreign relations.
The greatest impact on the policies of the Trudeau government, unquestionably, has been the Liberals’ personal and business relationships with China’s political leadership in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the governing Liberals continue to evade inquiries and obfuscate the facts surrounding their involvement with the CCP. It appears with the Trudeau government Canadians will never know of the ties that bind us to China and the undue influence applied by the CCP.
Chinese Communist Party (CCP) operatives allegedly acted as Elections Canada poll workers in the 2021 campaign, according to documents submitted to a federal inquiry, per Blacklock’s Reporter.
Former Conservative MP Leona Alleslev in a sworn affidavit said she was told by Chinese Canadian constituents they knew of foreign operatives working at polling stations.
China has won 40 gold medals at the 33rd Summer Olympic Games, tying with the U.S. and ranking second in total medal count (91), just 35 medals behind the Stars and Stripes team. But is China really that good at sports as it has been proclaiming after each Olympics in recent years?
The modern Summer Olympics were revived from the ancient Greek Olympics, which had been discontinued for centuries. This tradition was resurrected in 1896, when the first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens, the sacred site where ancient Greeks gathered to compete for glory.
Canada’s goal of reducing carbon emissions cannot be achieved without relying on China, a new energy industry report says.
The key to success is copper, an essential component of electrification, according to the authors of “Securing Copper Supply: no China, no energy transition,” published by data and analytics firm Wood Mackenzie.
China dominates in the smelting and refining of copper, which is essential to creating tools needed for cleaner energy and reduced carbon emissions, the report says.
As the federal government mulls whether to impose tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, some Canadians say they would jump at the chance to buy a cheaper EV manufactured in that country.
Ottawa held a month-long consultation in July on how to handle Beijing’s powerful presence in the EV sector. Tariffs are among the options on the table.
Michael Wawrykowicz, who lives in Edmonton, uses a small Mitsubishi EV he bought second-hand four years ago for short trips around the city.
Given this is the CBC, I suspect the article is a trial balloon sent up by the Trudeau gov’t.
For two decades, Hollywood pandered to the Nazis in the communist Chinese government, and now China hardly screens Hollywood’s movies anymore.
The Center for Strategic & International Studies just revealed the enormity of China’s subsidization of its EV industry
Will she or won’t she? Will Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland announce tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles this week? If so, will she follow the American lead and tack on a 100% levy on any battery-powered vehicle BYD or Geely might dare to try to import to the United States? Or will ours be a more nuanced — dare I say World Trade Organization-approved — approach like the “variable” tariffs the E.U. are finalizing? The entire Canadian automotive industry awaits her decision with bated breath, with more than $50 billion — the monies promised to Volkswagen, Stellantis, et al to build battery plants here in the Great White Frozen North — hanging in the balance.
What are Trudeau’s China class backers saying?
Toronto and Vancouver have the largest Chinese and Hong Kong diaspora populations in Canada, yet it was in Quebec that the RCMP launched a special program to encourage the community to report cases of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) harassment.
The program was launched in early July and features social media videos in Chinese, French, and English, with the Quebec RCMP announcing that it is actively engaged in investigating Chinese interference in the province. It also features uniformed officers going into the Chinese community and encouraging people to report cases of harassment by the Beijing regime.
