Montreal Chinese community centres serve RCMP with $5M defamation suit over ‘police station’ allegations
Two Chinese community organizations are suing the RCMP for defamation after the national police force alleged they were operating as “police stations” for the Chinese government.
The Chinese Family Services of Greater Montreal and Centre Sino-Québec de la Rive Sud, as well as the two centres’ executive director, Xixi Li, are seeking more than $4.9 million in damages, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday in Superior Court.
Russia and China plan nuclear power unit for the moon
China and Russia are planning to install a nuclear power unit on the surface of the moon by the middle of the next decade, the head of Russia’s Roscosmos space agency has said.
Beijing and Moscow announced plans in 2021 to build a permanently manned research station on the moon’s south pole. The International Lunar Research Station (ILRS) project aims to establish a basic outpost in the next few years before completing construction in the 2030s.
Tasha Kheiriddin: Liberals want Canadians in the dark about China threat
Who calls the shots in Canada, Ottawa or Beijing? It’s becoming harder to tell, especially after this week’s shameful performance by the House of Commons Ethics Committee.
On Monday the Liberal-dominated committee shut down an emergency request by Conservative MP Michael Chong to investigate the firing of two Chinese scientists, Xiangguo Qiu and her husband Keding Cheng, at the Winnipeg National Microbiology Laboratory in 2021. Chong made the request after the government released 600 pages of documents revealing that Qiu and Cheng had basically been spying for the People’s Republic of China (PRC), developing “deep, cooperative relationships” with institutions there and transferring Canadian scientific knowledge and materials to the Chinese government.
Chinese government and military gained access Canadian lab and mailed live Ebola virus to Wuhan
A Chinese couple working at Canada’s highest biosecurity lab were secretly sending information to Beijing and mailed live Ebola to China, a bombshell investigation has found.
In a 600-page report released this week by the Canadian intelligence service, the pair were also accused of allowing visitors into the lab who tried to leave carrying plastic bags of vials containing an unknown substance.
Dr Xiangguo Qiu and Dr Keding Cheng were found to have left visitors with ties to the Chinese government and military unsupervised at the facility.

‘Blood Money’: Two of the Biggest Funders of the Radical Transgender Movement in the U.S. Are China-Linked Billionaires
Pro-Beijing groups financially backed by two China-linked billionaires are pushing the radical transgender movement as a means of advancing a Marxist agenda in the United States, seven-time New York Times bestselling author Peter Schweizer reveals in his new book Blood Money: Why the Powerful Turn a Blind Eye While China Kills Americans.
In Blood Money, Schweizer, who is a Breitbart News senior contributor and the president of the Government Accountability Institute, reveals China’s multi-pronged, covert attack on America. In Chapter 6, called “Destabilizing Democracy,” Schweizer explores how two billionaires, China-based American Neville Roy Singham and Alibaba co-founder Joseph Tsai, prop up radical activists groups that use transgenderism as a weapon against the “capitalist order.”
Liberal, NDP kill proposed examination of national security breaches at Winnipeg infectious disease facility
Liberal and NDP MPs joined forces Monday to block a parliamentary investigation into the massive security breach at Canada’s high security infectious disease laboratory in Winnipeg.
Conservative foreign affairs critic Michael Chong had moved a motion to investigate how Dr. Xiangguo Qiu and her husband, Keding Cheng, were able to pass confidential information to China even after security concerns were raised about the couples activities.
Lies and scandal: How two rogue scientists at a secret lab triggered a national security calamity
A high-security lab. Ebola. A mysterious package. The Chinese military.
The release earlier this week of hundreds of documents related to the dismissal of two scientists — Dr. Xiangguo Qiu and her husband Keding Cheng — has pulled back the curtain on an explosive national security probe at the Winnipeg-based National Microbiology Lab, part of the Canadian Science Centre for Human and Animal Health (CSCHAH).
The investigation — and the fight to make information about the investigation public — took years.
How the investigation and firing of two high-security virus scientists over leaks to China unfolded
OTTAWA — After being kept in the dark for years, we now know why Xiangguo Qiu and her husband Keding Cheng were fired from Winnipeg’s National Microbiology Lab (NML), Canada’s highest security lab and the country’s only facility authorized to handle deadly viruses such as Ebola.
Lab Chief Retired Shortly Before Controversial Winnipeg Lab Documents Surfaced
The former federal executive criticized for his failure to disclose records of security breaches at the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg retired just weeks before cabinet tabled the long-awaited documents on Feb. 28.
Iain Stewart became the first manager to be censured by Parliament since 1891. He retired as National Research Council president after more than six years in the post.
Carelessness with security, as seen in the Winnipeg lab, has consequences
It seems careless to let uncleared foreign researchers roam unattended in a high-security microbiology lab, as one of the scientists fired in 2020, Keding Cheng, did.
To the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, it seemed even more careless, and suspicious, that his wife and colleague, Xiangguo Qiu, hadn’t told her employers she took a side trip to the
Wuhan Institute of Virology. Or that she had applied to a “talent program” in China that the Canadian spy agency suspected was connected to commercial espionage.
In the larger sense, the whole thing was an example of carelessness, here in Canada.
Winnipeg Lab: Government Lurching From Incompetence to Danger on National Security
There is an old saying, “It is always darkest before the dawn.” The meaning behind this axiom is that things may look dire, but they will soon turn for the better.
When it comes to the federal government and national security, however, I fear only more darkness for the foreseeable future.
GOLDSTEIN: Trudeau tried to hide massive security failure at Winnipeg biolab
We now know why Prime Minister Justin Trudeau fought so hard to keep secret the documents revealing scientists Xiangguo Qiu and her husband, Keding Cheng, were fired from Canada’s highest security biolab because of their undisclosed relationships with agencies of the People’s Republic of China.
Poilievre claims Trudeau is covering up lapses at high-security lab, PM accuses rival of spewing conspiracies
Facing questions about how scientists who were intentionally sharing information with China were cleared to work at a Winnipeg lab studying deadly diseases, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau deflected criticism to his chief political rival and accused the Conservative leader of weaponizing national security.
During a Thursday news conference in Thunder Bay, Ont., Trudeau was asked how scientists working on high-security viruses at the Winnipeg-based National Microbiology Lab were able to collaborate with the People’s Republic of China.
After a years-long fight for access, the federal government dumped hundreds of pages of documents about the dismissal of Dr. Xiangguo Qiu and her husband Keding Cheng. The two were marched out of the facility in July 2019 and were stripped of their security clearances. Their dismissals were announced in January 2021.
🇨🇦🚨🚨🚨This might be one of the biggest coverups in Canadian History by Justin Trudeau?🤔
And he is caught red handed yet again endangering Canada’sdemocracy, security and health.‼️
Now the Beijing interference in our elections makes perfect sense!☝🏻 pic.twitter.com/LVGkKOi9DP

Fired Winnipeg lab scientists did not disclose ‘extensive relationship’ with China
Two scientists fired from Canada’s National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg in 2019 had an “extensive relationship” with China that they did not properly disclose to Canadian health officials, according to documents that were finally released over four years later.
Health Minister Mark Holland announced the tabling of the documents in Parliament on Wednesday, after a special ad-hoc committee formed to review the documents recommended they be released unredacted.
