Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invited troops from China's People's Liberation Army to train in Canada, according to a new bombshell report from Rebel News.

The People's Liberation Army—known for such atrocities as the Tienanmen square massacre—were invited for cold weather training at CFB Petawawa, Ontario.

The revelations come from a 34-page access to information document dubbed "The China Files" and released to Rebel News. 

 

The cold weather training was canceled by the Canadian Armed Forces, which sparked an angry response from Trudeau, who "demanded that Canada's military not cancel any more engagements with the PLA without explicit permission first, and that the news of the cancellation had to be told to the PLA gently." wrote Rebel News. 

 

Calendars show that Canada and China kept in diplomatic cahoots, even after the arbitrary detention of the two Michaels.

 Other findings in the "China Files" include:

• Current Infrastructure Minister Catherine McKenna flew to China for a three-day conference, only months after Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig were arbitrarily detained.

• Prime Minister Trudeau sent members of the Canadian Armed Force to the Military World Games

• China wants to do away with multi-lateral institutions like the United Nations and instead have "bi-lateral" institutions, wherein China sits in the centre and all channels flow through the middle.

 

I knew that this would happen.

Justin declared his undying love for China in 2013 and Canadians lapped it up because "free stuff".

The Chinese don't care about "free stuff" or fifty-seven genders but they do care about the oil, rare earth metals and fresh water Canada has.

Does anyone see the margin of occupation and sovereignty here?

 

PM Colossal F--- Up asked for your vote and you handed the country to China's lackey.

Canada is the new North Korea.

 

 

Never forget that the vile, corrupt and incompetent government put into place by an electorate that wanted "free things" hates it:

“Canadians’ average grocery bill is forecast to rise as much as 5 per cent in 2021, as COVID-19 takes a toll on supply chains, according to Canada’s Food Price Report, an annual forecast published by Dalhousie University and the University of Guelph. This year, the University of Saskatchewan and the University of British Columbia also participated in the research.”

“The 2021 report expects overall food prices to increase 3 to 5 per cent. Based on a family of four, average food bills for the year are predicted to reach $13,907 in 2021, an increase of $695 (or 5 per cent) compared to 2020, excluding food service.”

That is the highest predicted increase in a decade.

This will mean an even larger boost in profits for the big box grocery stores, while small businesses have been decimated during the crisis.

 

(Sidebar: no, no, it isn't COVID-related.)

Could that be because of carbon taxes, debt and inflation?

Short answer, yes:

Trudeau says a rebate system accompanying his tax will leave 80% of Ontario households better off financially.

But that’s almost impossible to verify, in part because in addition to directly hiking the cost of gasoline and natural gas, Trudeau’s tax indirectly increases the cost of almost all goods and services.

And low interest rates are only a short-term salvation. Only about 15 per cent of this new debt is locked in at low rates for the long run, making it vulnerable to unexpected rises in lending rates.

The only way to service all the debt is income — income from investment in software, pipelines, factories, ports and other assets that produce wages for workers and incomes for governments. But the Bank of Canada projects that business investment will grow a minuscule 0.8 per cent over the next two years, failing to recover to 2019 levels until at least 2023. On the other hand, consumption will grow 4.7 per cent, five times faster than investment.

All told, consumption and government spending — which consume wealth and add to debt — will represent 80 per cent of economic growth in the next two years, while investment and net export growth — which produce wealth — will be less than zero.

The Trans Mountain pipeline has increased in value since it was nationalized in mid 2018, but that could begin to decline if global oil demand tapers off in the near future, a new report says.

A study by the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) released on Tuesday estimates that the “net present value” of the existing oil pipeline has increased by $600 million to $5 billion. The government under Prime Minster Justin Trudeau purchased the pipeline for $4.4 billion in the summer of 2018, after previous owner Kinder Morgan threatened to shelve the project. It is expected to cost another $12.6 billion to expand Trans Mountain, according to the company’s most recent estimates.

 

The demand for oil hasn't decreased; it's Justin's unwillingness to get it built that has once again resurfaced. 

How could destroying a country be good for it?

Why do people allow it?

 

RE: vile, corrupt and incompetent:

Attorney General David Lametti yesterday said his department is reviewing whether Canadian-based pornography websites breach the Criminal Code. Twenty MPs and senators including Conservative, Liberal and Green Party members yesterday petitioned cabinet to take action: “It is happening here in Canada.”

Justin Trudeau’s talent agent yesterday said he has been badgered by unnamed accusers over corporate sponsorship fees paid to the Prime Minister. Trudeau has acknowledged collecting $1,341,500 in speaking fees in the period from 2006 to 2012 including payments by federal contractors: “Have you ever been a member of the Liberal Party?”

** 

A former Québec Liberal MP’s company needed an advance payment to meet a $237 million federal contract for pandemic ventilators. Frank Baylis said his firm had re-mortgaged buildings and asked bankers to extend lines of credit in weeks prior to winning the contract: “I didn’t speak to anybody to try and influence them to give a contract to Baylis Medical.”

Just get it over with. Let everyone know that the Canadian government excels in pettiness, vindictiveness and show trials:

Sen. Mary Jane McCallum, a member of the Independent Senators Group, says the matter was “ended prematurely” with the prorogation of Parliament in August.

She says that has allowed “the quiet reinstatement” of Beyak as a senator in good standing, without her colleagues ever deciding whether that should happen.

McCallum has now introduced a motion calling for Beyak’s expulsion from the chamber.

“If it is believed that Sen. Beyak has merited her return, she should be entitled to return to the Senate by a decision of her peers, not to simply return because the clock has run out on her suspension,” McCallum, a First Nations woman of Cree heritage, said in a statement Tuesday.

 

 

Why not just let old people die in nursing homes? Wasn't that the point of abandoning them during the global house arrest?:

Many people will suffer needlessly if Conservatives continue filibustering a bill on medically assisted dying beyond a court-imposed deadline of Dec. 18, Justice Minister David Lametti said Tuesday.

 

(Sidebar: who will die needlessly in the next five seconds, David? The grandmother no one wanted to see anyway? That one?) 

Pray, how will the fascists enforce restrictions when they would not enforce quarantines?:

The Ford government is considering adopting an “immunity passport” to show who has taken a COVID-19 vaccine and will be eligible for certain activities once vaccination becomes widespread. The shocking comments were made by Health Minister Christine Elliott on Tuesday.

Elliott was being asked about vaccine distribution including convincing more people to take the shot once it is available.

 

Also:

Pandemic lockdowns unfairly punish small business while permitting big retailers to remain open, says an Ontario judge. “Small businesses can ill afford yet further losses in this horrible year,” said Superior Court Justice Frederick Myers: “Everyone sees the apparent unfairness.”

And:

Of the countries to buy up more than their fair share of coronavirus shots, Canada tops the chart having secured 8.9 doses per head, the equivalent of enough vaccines to vaccinate each citizen five times over.

Canada was never serious about combatting or preventing terrorism. Ever:

A key architect of the spectacular Toronto 18 terrorism plot to detonate huge truck bombs in Toronto in 2006 was granted day parole, Tuesday.

“I’m just so thankful,” Shareef Abdelhaleem said when told the decision by the Parole Board of Canada, “You will not be sorry.

 

 

No one trusts the CBC because it is the Canadian Pravda: 

CBC and Radio-Canada staff said there was a “strong feeling of betrayal” in a recent online town hall with top executives over plans to launch a branded content division.

Staffed questioned how they could “trust” management and told of their fears that it would tarnish the CBC as a “fake news” organization.

(Sidebar: um, you are.)

Now, influential former employees and Canadian public broadcasting advocates are asking Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault to make the federal broadcasting regulator “investigate” the Crown corporation’s new branded content arm, Tandem.

“Faced with the CBC’s revenue-obsessed determination to sell its integrity to the highest bidders and the (Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission’s) deafening silence when asked to address this important issue, we respectfully ask that you intervene,” reads a letter sent to the minister Monday and obtained by National Post.

 

 

It's just money:

A federal agency yesterday confirmed it quietly put millions more into a money-losing, door-do-door sales company in Nairobi. Taxpayer spending at M-Kopa Holdings Ltd. of Kenya to date totals $15,400,000: ‘We are informed about M-Kopa’s business.’

Infrastructure Minister Catherine McKenna’s department approved subsidies for tennis courts, free Wi-Fi and Indigenous art exhibits in the name of public works, say auditors. “We build infrastructure for the next fifty to one hundred years,” McKenna earlier told the Commons.

 

 

But without Sir John A. Macdonald, you would not have a pet cause to be triggered by: 

NDP MP Sol Mamakwa wrote in Maclean's this summer: "As I walk on the grounds of Queen's Park, I am greeted by Sir John A. Macdonald's statue. I see him pointing. At what? Is he pointing at me? Or is he pointing at our Indigenous land; the land that has sustained our people for millennia; the land he helped take from us."

 

He unified a country and built a railway.

Your move.

 

 

Pretending to be that which your DNA is not is junk science yet that goes on unhindered:

Tabled in the House of Commons on Oct. 27, Bill C-6 seeks to create criminal offences for “treatment or services designed to change an individual’s sexual orientation to heterosexual or gender identity to cisgender or to reduce non-heterosexual sexual attraction or sexual behaviour.”

It bans “causing an individual to undergo conversion therapy against their will; causing a child to undergo conversion therapy; removing a child from Canada to undergo conversion therapy abroad; receiving a financial or other material benefit from the provision of conversion therapy; and advertising an offer to provide conversion therapy.”

The government says that if passed, the legislation will make Canada’s laws on conversion therapy the most progressive and comprehensive in the world.

In his speech at the Stop the Ban rally, Cooke gave an example of how parents could be impacted if the bill is passed.

“If Johnny comes home from school one day, and he says, ‘Oh, my teacher said that there’s no boys and no girls, and we can be whatever we want.’ And then the parent, the mom says, ‘Johnny, you’re a boy, believe me, you’re a boy.’ If word gets out, not only could the child be taken away, the parent could go to jail for five years—and that’s a private conversation in the home,” he said.

“It’s going to criminalize parents who want to help their kids just simply accept their own biology.”

 

No one has to trade with China:

A federal bank hired consultants for tips on China’s “business practices” amid the arbitrary detention of two Canadian consultants in Beijing. The Business Development Bank yesterday would not say if its training included advice on avoiding arrest: “Our mission is to create more and better business.”

**

I would be impressed to see them back in Canada:

When Barton was able to see them, he said he was able to verify they were in good physical and mental condition.

“They are robust," said Barton, who was testifying from Beijing via video link. "You would be very impressed by seeing both of them."

Spavor is being held in a prison in the city of Dandong near the North Korean border while Kovrig is in a Beijing area prison.

The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) runs one of the world’s largest pension funds, with assets of $434.4 billion at June 30. It and two other big Canadian pension funds, including the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, remain strongly bullish on China despite plenty of reasons not to be.

No one thought that policy out, did they?:

The irregularities are an after-effect of the Chinese regime’s one-child policy. Introduced in 1979, the restriction was implemented as part of population control measures as Beijing became worried about the rapidly growing population putting a strain on the country’s resources.

Due to the preference of males over females in Chinese culture, especially in rural areas where men can contribute manual labor, many families chose to abort or abandon female newborns.

This has resulted in a skewed gender ratio. In 1990, the ratio first exceeded 110 boys per 100 girls, and has never dropped from this rate since. In the early 2000s, the ratio reached 120 to 100. Today, the ratio is still above 110.

Official data shows that there were 20 million Chinese bachelors in 2015, while only 6 million women were unmarried. The bachelor crowd has since grown and is currently around 30 million.

State-run newspaper China News Weekly cited experts’ estimates that China will have over 40 million unmarried men by 2040.

 

 

Why, none of this sounds suspicious at all!:

Georgia’s DeKalb County officials don’t know if it’s in possession of the ballot transfer forms used to record the chain of custody for absentee ballots dropped into some 300 drop boxes around the state.

** 

The website used by the office of Georgia’s secretary of state to order blank ballots and other election supplies is hosted on Shopify, a Canadian e-commerce platform that disclosed that it was breached not long before Election Day, The Epoch Times has learned.

 

 

What about the other seventy percent?:

A new poll shows that almost a third of Canadians still plan on celebrating the holidays with their loved ones despite coronavirus public health advisories which currently prohibit gatherings. 

According to the Angus Reid Institute, 30% of Canadians plan on gathering with family and friends over Christmas. 

Meanwhile, 10% of people said they will be going to do their holiday celebrations outside of their own communities.  

When broken down provincially, Quebec and Alberta have the highest number of respondents who reported that they will attend Christmas gatherings regardless of the health orders. 

In both provinces, nearly 35% of those polled said they plan to celebrate with others. As for Ontario, a slightly fewer 27% reported that they will do so.

 

Time for some Christmas spirits:

A Conservative bill to allow Canadians to buy interprovincial liquor by mail yesterday was introduced in the Commons. The bill would see consumers use Canada Post to bypass provincial liquor board monopolies: “There would be open free trade in this.”
