Sen. Yuen Pau Woo (B.C.) declined to comment after publicly endorsing a Gaza fundraiser organized by Labour For Palestine, a group known for anti-Israel protests and confrontations with federal lawmakers.
“In these desperate times for Palestinians please consider supporting this,” Woo wrote on social media, promoting a $60-a-plate event in Vancouver scheduled for May 11.
Following years of diplomatic and trade tensions, China’s ambassador to Canada, Wang Di, insists the two countries can move past what he characterizes as “normal” differences.
“For China and Canada to bring our relationship back onto the right track, we need to seek common ground while reserving differences in a constructive way,” Wang said through a translator in an exclusive broadcast interview with CTV’s Question Period, airing Sunday.
“China and Canada have a lot of differences, and this is very, very normal,” he also said.
Hong Kong Police Detain Relatives of Canadian Candidate Targeted by Beijing Election Interference
HONG KONG / OTTAWA — In a striking escalation of Beijing’s interference in Canada’s Parliament and its global campaign to silence dissent, Hong Kong police have reportedly detained and questioned relatives of former Conservative election candidate Joe Tay—who was targeted by aggressive Chinese cyber and ground operations during the recent federal campaign, according to The Bureau’s intelligence sources.

A little cautionary tale about mass migration and Chinese social media apps.
With days left to the election, Australian opposition candidates have been wooing a crucial group that turned its back on the conservative Liberal-National coalition in the last election: Chinese Australian voters.
And they are trying to reach them on platforms that their party once talked of banning over national security concerns: Chinese social media apps like WeChat and RedNote.
How would the media react if Donald Trump had received a quarter of a billion dollars from Russia or China just prior to his presidential bid? It’s easy to guess: screaming headlines, indignant calls for impeachment, prosecution, demands for the electric chair. Every news anchor, political pundit, intelligence expert lining up to denounce the travesty with letters signed by infinite lists of former and acting national security officials, etc. And that’s for starters.
But progressive technocrat Mark Carney flies to Beijing to obtain $300M from the Bank of China four months prior to being appointed prime minister by Canada’s Liberal Party, calls snap elections, which he wins without a majority, and the media only praises him. Conservative rival Pierre Poilievre highlighted Carney’s compromised relations with China on nationally televised debates. He also pointed out how the former Bank of Canada governor and U.N. point man on climate change staunchly supported CCP-linked Liberal MP Paul Chiang, calling for goon squads to persecute opponents.

Some of Beijing’s top critics in Parliament were re-elected this week, but a Conservative candidate said by authorities to be targeted by a Chinese regime operation lost his bid to sit in the House of Commons.
There is no evidence so far that Joe Tay fell short because of the Chinese regime’s efforts, but in the lead-up to the vote, election security officials had warned he was the victim of a transnational repression operation.
As Canadians prepare to go to the polls on Monday, they are being bombarded with misleading rightwing content on US social media platforms that has fuelled concerns about their potentially damaging role in the general election.
A Financial Times analysis of more than 350,000 posts on X related to the election, gathered since the snap poll was announced in March, revealed a network of co-ordinated accounts pushing content to boost Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre and tarnish his counterpart, the Liberal’s Mark Carney.
Evidently it’s right-wing foreign interference to point out that Carney is a globalist eco-scammer who profits from government policy and has suspect links to Communist China.
LOS ANGELES — Serbian authorities have arrested two foreign nationals, Cui Guanghai, 43, of China, and John Miller, 63, of the United Kingdom, at the request of the United States, federal officials announced Thursday.
Canadians may be hell bent against becoming America’s 51st state, but if the April 28 elections confirm globalist central banker Mark Carney as prime minister it could go China’s way.
In the divisive election campaign following Carney’s appointment to lead the ruling Liberal Party, the high-flying ex-governor of the Bank of Canada with strong Chinese business connections is whipping up anti-American sentiment supported by European socialists, which has hallmarks of a CCP strategy.
Domestic extremists pushing ‘corrosive’ narratives in Canada’s election: report
Canadian domestic extremists are using the federal election to amplify “corrosive” narratives around democracy, immigration and conspiracy theories, a new report suggests.
The Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD) found Canadian extremists are capitalizing on the deteriorating relationship between Canada and U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration to draw people towards their movements.
Who is the Institute For Strategic Dialogue? –BBC Cites Pro-Censorship Group, Claims Growing Hate Speech on Twitter
Who funds the Institute for Strategic Dialogue?
Funding for the ISD has come from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Omidyar Network, the Gen Next Foundation, and the Open Society Foundation.
A Conservative candidate critical of Hong Kong laws is the target of a “transnational repression operation,” Canada’s election interference task force said on Monday.
The campaign to discredit Joe Tay, who is running for the Tories in the Toronto riding of Don Valley North, is taking place on Chinese-language social media platforms as well as Facebook and TikTok.
Liberal Leader Mark Carney says China poses one of the biggest foreign interference threats to Canada.
Carney made the remarks at a campaign stop in Niagara Falls on April 18.
The Liberal leader had been asked by a reporter to expand on his comments at the English-language leaders debate on April 17, where Carney said China is the “biggest security threat” facing Canada.
MONTREAL — A Montreal-area Liberal candidate invited to a campaign event this week the head of two organizations suspected by the RCMP of operating a secret Chinese police station.
The invitation by Alexandra Mendès, the Liberal incumbent running for re-election in Brossard—Saint-Lambert, sowed consternation within the Liberal party, which has faced scrutiny over multiple candidates’ comments about or apparent links to the Chinese government.
New questions have surfaced about relations between a federal Liberal candidate running in Markham-Unionville and China’s consulate in Toronto, including his presentation of an award of appreciation to a consul-general and appearing to salute the Communist flag at an event celebrating the establishment of the People’s Republic of China.
A Canadian Parliamentarian assessed by national security officials to be part of a Toronto-based Chinese consulate election interference network was the subject of a high-profile foreign interference investigation into an alleged breach of Canada’s Senate, The Bureau has confirmed through multiple intelligence sources.
Sources said the investigation examined allegations that the Parliamentarian enabled a close associate—described as a female Chinese national—to bypass Senate security protocols.
