It's Cheating Day in Canada!

The days when closeted, gated racists reward Justin's arrogance with votes:

A litany of why Justin would be kicked to the curb in any other country:

The Liberals are similarly counting on voters not to notice that what distinguishes their foreign policy is the thing that has caused the Chinese government and its network of diplomats and well-connected friends in Canada to be rather too obvious in their enthusiasm for a Liberal re-election. So enthusiastic, in fact, that they’re already coming close to violating Canadian laws intended to safeguard federal elections from foreign interference.

 

These Chinese:

The offer to re-release the Two Innocents book by Pierre Trudeau and journalist-friend Jacques Hébert was likely an attempt to flatter two influential figures in Canadian affairs — an “insurance policy” in case one of them ran for office, says Guy Saint-Jacques, a former ambassador to Beijing.

“The approach is always the same: you make people feel special, you tell them they understand China and you pretend to give them special access,” he said. “Publishing books falls into that category because it gives face to the authors even if they cannot know for sure how many books are really sold.”

But a leading China specialist at the University of British Columbia said it’s doubtful the offer to translate and publish Pierre Trudeau’s 1960s book had anything to do with trying to influence the Trudeau sons.

It was more likely part of a common Chinese practice to issue versions of books on world leaders considered important or “empathetic” to China, said UBC Prof. Paul Evans. He said he’s seen tomes on Western heads of state from Angela Merkel to Margaret Thatcher in Chinese bookstores.

“(Pierre Trudeau) is the second best-known Canadian in China. The first is (doctor) Norman Bethune,” he said. “That they would want to publish his book in Chinese translation would not come to me as a surprise at all.”

November, 2013: Then Liberal leader, Trudeau says the country he admires most is China and its “basic dictatorship.”

November, 2016: Trudeau, now prime minister, defends attending Liberal “cash for access” $1,500-a-plate fundraiser with billionaire Chinese businessmen, one of whom donated $200,000 to his father’s foundation, the other while in eventually successful negotiations with his government. ...

February, 2020: China praises Health Minister Patty Hajdu for rejecting a travel ban on China, the epicentre of the COVID-19 pandemic in Wuhan. In April, Hajdu accuses a reporter of promoting Internet conspiracies by questioning China’s COVID-19 data. Soon after, China increases the death count in Wuhan by 50%.

May, 2020: Trudeau announces China will help develop a COVID-19 vaccine for Canadians, a deal which later falls apart.

February, 2021: Trudeau won’t describe China’s brutal treatment of its Uyghur Muslims as a genocide.

Present day: Unlike U.S., U.K. and Australia, Canada hasn’t ruled out using Huawei to develop its 5G communications technology.

Cabinet aides in blunt emails expressed exasperation with Chinese suppliers that failed to fill orders for medical supplies. “Our experience is that shit can go sideways in China,” Matt Stickney, the Prime Minister’s executive director of operations, wrote in an April 1, 2020 email: “Do we need to ‘thank’ them?”

** 

The Prime Minister’s Office approved a breach in contracting rules by wiring millions in advance cash payments to pandemic suppliers in China, according to internal emails. Staff said payments were rushed to contractors because “the Americans are moving faster than us.”

A new photo of current Prime Minister Justin Trudeau apparently in blackface has just shockingly surfaced on the eve of the federal elections Trudeau himself called which will take place on Monday Sept. 20 2021.

I had not realized that the way to kill pandemics was outside modern medicine and its many miracles. By Trudeau’s declaration, it is to vote Liberal. In an election called by a Liberal during a pandemic. Before any election had to be called. Perhaps so that the “cure” could be announced at a crowded COVID-inviting rally held by the Liberals during the election they didn’t have to call.

There was a quite telling moment recently when Trudeau was skillfully and respectfully interviewed by Neetu Garcha of Global TV in British Columbia. At the end of the exchange he condescended to tell Garcha that she hadn’t asked the right questions. Now just as a matter of manners, a prime minister lecturing that polite and intelligent interviewer was uncalled for, rude, and smug as hell.

A Leger poll released Saturday showed that fully 71 per cent of respondents agreed with the statement “I feel this election has been more divisive and confrontational than past federal elections.” And when comparing the leaders of the two largest parties, 36 per cent agreed that Trudeau “appeared to dismiss or disrespect Canadians who held views that he disagreed with,” compared to 26 per cent for Conservative leader Erin O’Toole.

By wrongly assuming Canadians were an overall happy bunch, elated by loosening restrictions and eager to reward him with another term in office, Trudeau overlooked the volcano of frustration, fear and, yes, hate that would erupt by thrusting the nation into weeks of campaign rhetoric, resurfaced wedge issues, and pressure to pick a side.

It’s an issue the NDP have seized upon in its campaign strategy in B.C., particularly in attacks against Liberal leader Justin Trudeau. Average housing prices across Canada have skyrocketed by 70 per cent since Trudeau took office in 2015, according to the national Home Price Index (HPI), even after Ottawa introduced a national housing strategy in 2017.

“Under Justin Trudeau, the average price of a home in Canada has gone up by $300,000 — in Vancouver the price has doubled,” the NDP said in a press release on Saturday.

Perhaps most unforgivably, the Liberals did nothing to crack down on money laundering, ignoring the United Nations’ Financial Action Task Force report on the country’s loopholes, lack of controls and remedies. The result is that illicit funds from abroad have contributed to our high real estate prices, which has made housing unaffordable for Canada’s middle class.

In her best-selling new book, the former Liberal Attorney-General pithily sums up why she couldn’t abide Justin Trudeau any longer.

“Aga Khan. India. Vice-Admiral Norman. SNC-Lavalin. Blackface. WE. Payette. General Vance. There are patterns reflected in all of these,” Wilson-Raybould writes. “This way of governing was not my way of governing and I did not want to be part of it — to be complicit.”

It’s quite a list, isn’t it? And it can’t be in any way dismissed. It’s the words of Trudeau’s hand-picked first Minister of Justice. And, as millions of Canadians prepare to vote on Monday, it helps to remind us of Justin Trudeau’s many, many failures.

Food prices in particular are through the roof, and almost nobody even believes the ‘official’ inflation rate, as prices seem to be going up much higher.

The Ipsos poll conducted exclusively for Global News found more than two-thirds of voters surveyed — 69 per cent — feel the election should not have been called in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. That’s up 13 points from when the election was called, which pollsters say they have not seen before.

** 

The CBC reports that Justin Trudeau has set another spending record: at $610 million, this election will be the most expensive ever, a full $100 million more than the vote the Liberal leader called just two years ago.

(Sidebar: if it makes Justin feel better, people actually left the polls because the lines were unnecessarily long.)

Those documents contain, among other things, information about why two Chinese-national senior scientists at the National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) facility in Winnipeg, Manitoba, together with several of their Chinese-national students, were physically removed in early July 2019 and the two senior scientists were fired in January 2021.

The students and staff reportedly were dismissed because of national-security concerns. Their security clearances were revoked in July 2019, they were not allowed to return to the lab and are being investigated by the RCMP.

Most of the scrutiny is on one of those two senior NML scientists, Xianggou Qiu [pronounced ‘choo’]. She and her husband Keding Cheng were the duo fired by the NML in January 2021.

But when Trudeau called the election in mid-August, that took the heat off him and his party with respect to the Qiu-NML scandal: media focused instead on the frenetic campaigning.

And there’s been almost complete silence, on the part of Trudeau and the Liberals and all the other federal political parties, since then about this critically important issue .

The Public Health Agency in a confidential memo warned legislators to avoid “flagrant appeals to fear” in enforcing pandemic control measures. Trying to frighten Canadians was counterproductive, “coercive” and “manipulative,” said the memo: “Some people tend to have low trust in institutions and authority figures.”

 

(Sidebar: oh, I wonder why.)

Health Minister Patricia Hajdu’s department shipped 350 Baylis Medical ventilators to India that couldn’t plug into wall sockets. The department forgot to include $9 electrical adaptors, according to a briefing note: “The ventilators require a different electrical cord for use in India.


 

We all know that you're a failure, Justin.

You're not fooling anyone, even the mouth-breathers who voted for you.
