“China – Communist Slave State”

A Canadian former executive at the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is criticizing Canada’s membership in the institution, saying it’s inconsistent with Canadian values.

“I didn’t find a single, tangible benefit to communicate back home here to Canada of what this bank does that is consistent with our values in a way that would benefit Canadians,” Bob Pickard, who resigned from the AIIB last week, told Power & Politics host David Cochrane in an interview Monday.

Smells like another China Class Grift.

A journalist whose reporting helped raise concerns about possible Chinese meddling in Canadian democracy told a committee of MPs on June 20 that he stands by his work.

Sam Cooper, who recently left Global News to start his own online news site, told MPs that other countries, such as Australia and the United Kingdom, have faced similar disclosures about Chinese attempts to influence elections, and have followed up with laws designed to counter foreign interference.

But in Canada, said Cooper, that has not happened.

It’s without question one of the darkest episodes in Canada’s modern history.

For 24 years starting in 1923, the Canada Immigration Act barred almost any Chinese person from migrating to this country, an ugly extension of the earlier “White Canada” policy and a response to widespread fear of what some called the “yellow peril.”

Thirteen years ago, the then newly-appointed director of the Canadian Security and Intelligence Service warned Canadians about the growing threat of interference by China.

It almost ended Richard Fadden’s career. It’s also why he would be an excellent choice to head a public inquiry into foreign interference today.
