Oh, boy:
When Parliament’s Centre Block goes under wraps for masonry work, it won’t just fade from view. The government is planning a nearly $4 million massive wrap with an image of the historic building to give the illusion Centre Block is still there.
The wrap is called a trompe-l’œil, which means trick of the eye, and will go in place later this year as workers erect scaffolding on the building as part of a major restoration.
Public Services and Procurement Canada is overseeing the nearly $5 billion project to restore Centre Block, which is not expected to be complete until at least 2030.
The federal government is seeking to shield from public view some details of the case against a former Canadian Space Agency engineer accused of negotiating on behalf of a Chinese aerospace company.
Last December, the RCMP charged 61-year-old Wanping Zheng with breach of trust in a case police say is tied to foreign interference.
Wanping Zheng is accused of using his status as an engineer at the CSA to negotiate satellite station installation agreements with Iceland on behalf of a Chinese aerospace company.
The federal attorney general's office recently filed documents in Federal Court seeking an application under the Canada Evidence Act, which balances protection of national security with the constitutional right of the accused to a fair trial.
This is the same jurist system that allowed bank accounts to be frozen because reasons.
You voted for it, Canada:
Id suggest you aim your sighted a little higher: Trudeau. The guy who killed two major pipeline projects, said nothing about Biden’s silly move to kill another (to instead import 800,000 barrels of Russian crude daily) and risked losing a 3rd without actually buying it 🤦♂️ https://t.co/QHel335xLn

Been saying this for a while. Driving across Canada in the winter is anything but safe. Their blood is on @JustinTrudeau ’s hands. https://t.co/ctzx9UeZsh
