Trudeau to lie before foreign interference inquiry

Justin is so full of shit he’s about to explode.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be one of 40 witnesses to testify before the commission probing allegations of foreign electoral interference over the next few weeks, as Commissioner Marie-Josée Hogue and her team sort through what the government knew, or didn’t, about claims that China meddled in the past two federal campaigns.

The Public Inquiry into Foreign Interference in Federal Electoral Processes and Democratic Institutions (PIFI) resumes next Wednesday and will run until April 10. The inquiry was triggered by media reports last year which, citing unnamed security sources and classified documents, accused China of interfering in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections.

Justin Trudeau isn’t meeting China’s threat to our democracy. Here’s one thing he could do right now

As U.S. legislators race to disconnect the world’s most downloaded app and prevent TikTok’s massive American data from potentially feeding Chinese security agencies, Ottawa should demonstrate equal resolve.

Canada’s Bill C-34 — proposed legislation to prevent foreign investors from harbouring foreign intelligence services — is in its home stretch of Senate review, before going to the House of Commons for final discussions.

Former Mountie William Majcher, accused of being an agent for China, says he’s a ‘patriot not a traitor’

Former Mountie William Majcher has made a career out of deception and dancing on the edge of danger. As a young officer, he nearly died after being jumped from behind and smashed repeatedly in the head with a steel bar. After transitioning into undercover work, Majcher was planted in the same cell as an Air India terror suspect. He infiltrated the Medellin drug cartel and was warned he was on a hit list after a $100,000 bounty was put on his head.

His subterfuge maximized his easy-going demeanour and commerce degree from St. Mary’s University, allowing him to pose as a clean cut expert in money laundering. This work in the shadows came in handy when he was tasked to run the B.C. office of the RCMP’s financial crime unit before retiring in 2007.

US Jailed Prof for Lying About Wuhan Ties, Chinese ‘Talent’ Recruitment; Would Canada Do So With Winnipeg Lab Scientists?

In 2023, a U.S. judge sentenced high-profile Harvard professor Charles Lieber to imprisonment and fines for lying about his ties with China’s state-run talent recruitment program and a Wuhan university. Several other researchers in the United States have been arrested on similar charges in recent years.

In Canada, after more than four years since Xiangguo Qiu and Keding Cheng were expelled from the high-security Winnipeg lab in 2019 and later fired for undisclosed ties with Chinese regime entities and talent programs, no charges have been announced.

Terry Glavin: The elephants in the room at the foreign interference inquiry

You’ve got to feel at least a twinge of pity for Justice Marie-Josée Hogue. She’s the head of the public inquiry into foreign interference that is only now getting off the ground, 16 months after leaked intelligence first revealed that Beijing ran elaborate election-interference operations to the benefit of Justin Trudeau’s Liberal party in 2019 and 2021, and the government knew it but did nothing about it.

Among the questions Hogue has to properly sort out, this one rarely gets a proper look-in: when we say “foreign” interference, what do we mean by “foreign,” exactly?

Trump launched CIA covert influence operation against China

WASHINGTON, March 14 – Two years into office, President Donald Trump authorized the Central Intelligence Agency to launch a clandestine campaign on Chinese social media aimed at turning public opinion in China against its government, according to former U.S. officials with direct knowledge of the highly classified operation.

Three former officials told Reuters that the CIA created a small team of operatives who used bogus internet identities to spread negative narratives about Xi Jinping’s government while leaking disparaging intelligence to overseas news outlets. The effort, which began in 2019, has not been previously reported.

You can see why Xi Jinping prefers the Biden crime family.

When the Moon Turns Red: China’s Plan to Annex Space

China, with Russia’s help, wants to build a base on the moon.

If the Chinese regime succeeds in building the first facility there, it will try to deny to others the ability to land on the lunar surface. The People’s Republic of China in fact intends to annex the near parts of the solar system.

As Richard Fisher of the International Assessment and Strategy Center pointed out to this author, Chinese control of the moon would confer control of Cis-Lunar space, the portion of space between the Earth and the moon. Control of Cis-Lunar space would give a country the ability to shoot down or otherwise disable deep-space satellites, which are essential for, among other things, the early warning of ballistic missile attacks.

China says TikTok ban would ‘come back to bite’ the US

China has warned that a proposed ban on TikTok would “come back to bite” the US, as lawmakers approved a bill that could lead to the app being banned.

The bill in the House of Representatives would force the Chinese-owned app to sever ties with China or become unavailable in the US.

US officials have long expressed concern about TikTok, citing potential national security risks.

TikTok’s owners have repeatedly rejected that it poses any threat.
