York Regional Police have charged former Toronto lawyer Ping-Teng Tan, who is a fixture at pro-Beijing events in the Toronto area, with fraud and money laundering.
Suspended North York, Ont., lawyer Ping-Teng Tan was charged on March 26 with two counts of fraud over $5,000, two counts of possession of property obtained by crime, and one count of laundering proceeds of crime, the York Regional Police told The Epoch Times.

“One can only correct inappropriate policies in a timely manner if one sticks to seeking truth from facts.”
That will be an uncontroversial proposition to anyone who draws distinctions between good-faith truth claims and instances of brazenly fabricated hogwash. It should be similarly uncontroversial by now to any reasonable person that U.S. president Donald Trump is either unwilling to draw such distinctions, or he’s congenitally incapable of doing so.
Liberal candidate Peter Yuen, chosen to replace Paul Chiang, linked to pro-Beijing groups, events
The Liberal candidate selected by Mark Carney to replace one who was dropped over a China-related controversy is a member of a Beijing-friendly lobby organization and has given talks at events honouring a Toronto group that advocates for the annexation of Taiwan by China.
Onetime Toronto police deputy chief Peter Yuen, who is now carrying the Liberal banner in the Toronto-area riding of Markham-Unionville, succeeded Paul Chiang. The former MP stepped down April 1 after news broke that he had talked to reporters about how someone could take a Conservative candidate and human-rights advocate to the Chinese consulate to claim a bounty put on him by Hong Kong authorities.
Having spent decades in intelligence and security, and through the research presented in “The Mosaic Effect,” the book I co-authored, I’ve seen firsthand how Beijing uses sophisticated non-military tools—what we now define as hybrid warfare—to infiltrate and influence democratic institutions. At the core of this strategy is the United Front Work Department, an agency of the CCP that specializes in co-opting elites, manipulating diaspora communities, and shaping foreign policy in target nations.
OTTAWA — Liberal Leader Mark Carney joked it would be “a bad idea” to send Alberta Premier Danielle Smith to fight back against U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war with Canada.
Smith fired back at Carney on Monday at a press conference in Edmonton.
I suspect Carney is acting on instructions from Beijing.
A network of X accounts is “artificially” amplifying misinformation about Canada’s economy and leadership, according to a report shared with The Logic from digital threat research group Reset Tech.
A coordinated campaign from these accounts spread false stories about businesses decamping for the U.S. as a result of Canada’s alleged economic decline, as well as Canadian support for Donald Trump’s goal to annex the country. The network, which is made up of 73 accounts and “likely hundreds more,” shares material from U.S. right wing sites, as well as Toronto-based Canada Free Press and Montreal-based Post Millennial.
OTTAWA — Canada’s election security watchdog has accused the Chinese government of promoting Liberal Leader Mark Carney in what it’s calling an “information operation” taking place on Chinese-language social media.
In a Monday morning press conference, Laurie-Anne Kempton, of the Privy Council Office, said the operation is currently being undertaken by Youli-Youmian — the most popular news site on the WeChat social media platform.
It’s official: China is currently INTERFERING in the Canadian election to help Mark Carney become Prime Minister.

VANCOUVER, Canada — In a sweeping new effort to map elite influence and Beijing’s corrosive political incursions in Canada, two human rights advocacy groups from Hong Kong and mainland China immigrant communities have published a series of striking visual charts connecting decades of Canadian prime ministers and business leaders to entities linked with the Chinese Communist Party, including its powerful United Front apparatus.
The Liberal Party under Prime Minister Mark Carney have seen three MP candidates drop out of the election race over allegations of foreign interference.
The latest to resign was Liberal MP Paul Chiang from Ontario. Chiang, who Carney defended as a “person of integrity” before the MP decided to drop out, dominated headlines after news broke that he suggested Canadian citizens turn rival Conservative candidate Joe Tay over to the Chinese embassy in Toronto to cash in on the communist regime’s HK$1 million (CA$183,915) bounty on the Conservative.
Foreign agents are actively operating on Canadian university campuses to silence dissent and scout recruits, according to an RCMP intelligence briefing.
Blacklock’s Reporter says the document, dated December 3 and titled On-Campus Foreign Interference, described covert tactics by foreign states, particularly the People’s Republic of China, to manipulate academic spaces.
Part of the problem is that our universities love both the foreign student revenue stream and the accompanying ideologies.
Liberal MP Paul Chiang said something profoundly unpardonable. Liberal Leader Mark Carney was perfectly content to pardon him for it. But public outrage ensued, so Chiang fell on his sword and resigned. End of story.
Except it isn’t the end of the story. It’s only going to get darker from here on in, as China waits, hopes and plans for Canada to return to the Trudeau-era embrace of the motherland.
Chinese News (posting under 大中生活 on WeChat) releases a glowing endorsement of Mark Carney. It’s described as being headquartered in Toronto, with a Chinese Canadian audience of 800,000.

Canada may still be reeling from a bout of political and diplomatic shock—call it Post-Disruption Stress Disorder (PDSD)—following the April 2 announcement in the Rose Garden by President Trump.
But for both Canada and Mexico, the news was less damaging than feared. Despite the sweeping “Liberation Day” tariffs unveiled that day, our two nations were spared. So were American grocery shoppers.
Despite an eventual resignation, the initial decision by Liberal Leader Mark Carney to back a candidate after learning he had made light of a Chinese government bounty on the head of a Conservative rival has diaspora community advocates on the front lines of the foreign interference threat saying they’ve lost confidence in the party’s commitment to protect them from transnational repression.
Yet, while Paul Chiang, the incumbent Liberal candidate in Markham-Unionville, Ont., eventually announced late on March 31 he would be standing aside so as not to “cause a distraction in this critical moment,” his delayed departure and Carney’s initial confidence have already caused damage.
A fundamental moral principle: You don’t get a s’okay, all forgiven, for a stupendous lapse of judgment.
You don’t get to erase the delinquency only after the conduct breach has become public.
You don’t get to offer a palpably expedient (unsolicited and unaccepted) apology when the wrongdoing is exposed.
And you especially don’t get to do any of that — in an X post at two minutes to midnight, following reports that the RCMP is looking into the matter — when you represent a political party that has been steeped in ethical violations.
