Federal security agencies to monitor Liberal leadership race for foreign interference

Federal security agencies will monitor for foreign interference in the Liberal leadership race, providing some protection after MPs were already raising concerns about potential meddling in the contest.

The Security and Intelligence Threats to Elections (SITE) Task Force will do the monitoring and offer security advice to the Liberal Party and leadership candidates as part of its mandate to safeguard democratic institutions from outside interference, the Privy Council Office announced Monday.

It is the first leadership race under scrutiny by the task force since it was created in 2019; its mandate was at first to monitor only general elections, and then expanded to by-elections.

Elon Musk praises Poilievre, mocks Trudeau as he steps into Canadian politics

As a giant of industry and the world’s richest man, Elon Musk wields influence across the global economy. He’s now leveraging that success to extend his influence into the democratic process in Canada and elsewhere.

In the past week alone, Musk has dipped into Canadian politics on his social media platform several times; endorsing Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, showering him with praise, reposting his tweets and applauding his speeches and media interactions.

If it was Soros you would be reading a Puff Piece.

The Liberals open the door to foreign interference

It has come to our attention over the past few years that Canada has a foreign interference problem, and that a key vulnerability is the lax rules governing federal-party nomination and leadership campaigns.

Maybe you heard about it, too. If so, could you please let the Liberal Party of Canada know? Its brain trust appears not to have a clue and so far is not rewriting its membership rules to shield its upcoming leadership race from meddling.

That race, necessitated by Justin Trudeau’s impending resignation, will not be just any leadership contest, because the winner will automatically become prime minister of Canada.

Poilievre could receive and make public the names of Conservatives allegedly tied to foreign meddling, former top spy says

OTTAWA—Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre could potentially receive the names of Conservatives allegedly tied to foreign meddling activities — and reveal that information to the public, a former head of Canada’s spy agency says.

“The (Canadian Intelligence Security Service) can do what it wants or say what it wants, as long as it doesn’t violate a federal statute or the Constitution,” said Richard Fadden, who also served as national security adviser to both prime ministers Stephen Harper and Justin Trudeau.

This has devolved into a big circle jerk.

Agents of Indian government interfered in Patrick Brown’s Conservative leadership campaign: sources

Agents of the Indian government allegedly attempted to derail Patrick Brown’s campaign for the leadership of the Conservative Party in 2022, according to sources who spoke to Radio-Canada.

Brown’s national campaign co-chair, Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner, allegedly was pressured to withdraw her support for Brown in the 2022 Conservative Party of Canada leadership race, confidential sources told Radio-Canada.

Rempel Garner categorically denies the allegation.

Rights Group Urges Inquiry to Recommend Deporting Perpetrators of Foreign Interference

A human rights coalition says the Hogue Commission should recommend that the federal government use existing immigration laws to deport perpetrators of foreign interference.

“Many of the existing tools remain underutilized or utilized in inconsistent or incoherent ways. As part of the Commission’s series of recommendations, the Commissioner can and should recommend that existing immigration and sanctions laws be leveraged to support and protect victims,” the Human Rights Coalition wrote in its submission to the foreign interference inquiry on Nov. 4.

Journalist says he’s received threats following ‘false’ accusations that he’s a Russian agent

A veteran Ottawa journalist says he and his family have received threats since he was accused of being a Russian agent during a House of Commons committee meeting last month — a claim he refutes and describes as “preposterous.”

“There are now calls that I be executed or tortured and that my family be deported,” David Pugliese, a reporter with the Ottawa Citizen, told MPs on the House public security committee on Thursday.

CSIS Tracked Intelligence Flow Across Government in Foreign Interference Leak Probe

CSIS Drink Coasters

Canada’s spy service tracked the flow of its intelligence reports across government and studied how other agencies handled them as part of an investigation into leaks of classified information about foreign interference, a newly released memo shows.

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service described the “tireless efforts” in the memo prepared for staff who were keen for an update on the probe into unauthorized disclosures to the media.

I maintain it was orchestrated by our allies to rid us of the ChiCom compromised Trudeau government.

Top officials admit sharing details on India foreign interference with Washington Post that were not shared with Canadians

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s national-security and intelligence adviser has confirmed she leaked sensitive information about the Indian government’s role in murder, extortion and coercion to The Washington Post that was not shared with the Canadian public.

But Nathalie Drouin told the Commons public safety committee Tuesday that Mr. Trudeau did not authorize the leak and insisted no classified intelligence was provided to the U.S. publication the day before Ottawa expelled six Indian diplomats on Thanksgiving Day.

Zero repercussions as usual. Would anyone care if Modi kidnapped Junior?

Poilievre promises to release names of MPs who participated in foreign interference

OTTAWA — Opposition Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre would release the names of members of Parliament “deemed to have knowingly participated in foreign interference” should his party form government, his office says.

Earlier this month, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau used his testimony before a federal inquiry on foreign interference to say he has the names “of a number of parliamentarians, former parliamentarians and/or candidates” within the Conservative party who intelligence shows “are engaged, or at high risk” of foreign interference.

Violence and Threats: How a Campaign of Fear Has Shaken Canada’s Sikhs

On a warm July night two years ago, Moninder Singh received a chilling message from special federal agents who showed up at his house in British Columbia: You are being formally warned that there is an imminent threat to your life. Avoid public spaces. Enhance security at home.

The first person he called — a friend and fellow activist in a campaign promoting an independent Sikh homeland carved out of India — had just gotten the same ominous warning.

A year later, that friend, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, was dead.

Postmedia reporter says KGB allegations are ‘ridiculous’ and ‘entirely false’

OTTAWA — Postmedia journalist David Pugliese says allegations by a former Conservative cabinet minister that he was recruited by the Soviet Union’s intelligence agency in the 1980s as part of a global subversion campaign are “ridiculous” and “entirely false.”

Chris Alexander, a former politician and diplomat, made the accusations during a House of Commons standing committee on public safety and national security on Thursday evening, saying they were based on documents that “originate in the pre-1991 archives of the Ukrainian KGB.”

Trudeau’s National Security Adviser & Deputy Minister Of Foreign Affairs Leaked Sensitive Intelligence Info About India To Washington Post

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s national security adviser and the deputy minister of foreign affairs provided sensitive intelligence about India to The Washington Post days before the RCMP publicly alleged that Indian government agents have been linked to homicides, extortions and other violent criminal activities in Canada, two sources say.

The leak to the U.S. publication about the killing of a Winnipeg Sikh leader and the role of India’s Home Secretary in violent acts in Canada stands in contrast to Mr. Trudeau’s view of leaks of classified information on China’s interference activities. Last week, he told the public inquiry into foreign interference that “a criminal leaked classified information” about China’s meddling in 2023 to The Globe and Mail.

So Justin and his girlfriend leaked intelligence data to stamp out the anti-Trudeau mutiny.

Trudeau the Magnificent offers foreign-interference inquiry a master class in redirecting attention

The big message of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s testimony this week before the foreign-interference commission was – as it so often is – an elaborate political version of, “It’s not me, it’s you.”

In his telling, information flowed in and out of the Prime Minister’s Office as it was supposed to, and anything that didn’t float up to his eye level mustn’t have met the triage test. His government had been pro-active – not reactive, and definitely not inactive – in combatting malign foreign states who wanted to stick their fingers in the eyes of Canadian democracy, he argued.
