China's North American Vassal States

Though a non-binding vote for an inquiry into Chinese political interference in Canada actually went through - 

(Sidebar: colour me surprised. Really.)

- Justin and his pants-soiling counterpart are doing their flagging utmost to distract the world from what it already knows.

Case in point:

Canada’s security services have been sounding the alarm on China’s growing interference and nefarious activities for decades; indifference and hostility were official Ottawa’s response. Recently leaked intelligence assessments that Chinese Communist Party United Front operatives worked actively to influence the results of elections at every level have finally caused the public to take notice of the CCP’s clandestine activities.

The reaction of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been to appoint a family friend with his own China links as a “rapporteur” to investigate Chinese election interference, and to vilify both the security services and those concerned about China’s violation of Canada’s sovereignty.

(Sidebar: this "rapporteur".) 

Canada’s democracy isn’t the only institution under siege. There has been no public accounting of events at Canada’s infectious diseases lab where Chinese scientists appear to have been sharing research secrets with Chinese authorities. Chinese researchers and graduate students, shut out of the U.S. for security reasons, are heading to Canadian universities, which have close and open research ties with their American counterparts. Canadians of Chinese origin have for years been vainly flagging the presence of representatives of the CCP’s security agencies, who threaten citizens and permanent residents if they do not do Beijing’s bidding.

Canada is now so compromised that Canada’s intelligence-sharing allies, particularly in the “Five Eyes” alliance, quietly wonder if it is safe to share sensitive information with Canada.

In the United States, that means disclosing what American intelligence services knew about the origins of the coronavirus in the Wuhan virology laboratory. In Canada, it means not disclosing what our security services knew about potential Chinese regime support for the Liberal Party of Canada. To the contrary, in Canada the RCMP is looking into a potential prosecution of leaks about Chinese communist support for Trudeau’s party, Trudeau’s constituency association and the Pierre Elliott Trudeau foundation.
On the American side, the U.S. Department of Energy concluded that the covid virus likely was the result of a leak from the Wuhan virology lab, not natural transmission.
The energy department holds its position with “low confidence.” The FBI also holds the lab leak theory. Four other U.S. agencies — there is a veritable alphabet soup of intelligence agencies — still hold the natural transmission theory, while two others are undecided. ...
Thus Americans will, within months, know what their intelligence services knew about any Chinese complicity in developing and spreading covid. They will likely discover more about any relationships between the American National Institutes for Health and the Wuhan lab controlled by the communist regime.
It’s quite a remarkable turnaround from the early days of the pandemic, when not a few voices claimed that it was racist even to call it the “Wuhan virus,” or to suggest that the Chinese regime may have been responsible, accidentally or negligently, for its spread.

This is of more than passing interest north of the border, for Trudeau is now in the name-calling “racist” phase of his own Chinese election interference scandal, suggesting that Canadians who raise an eyebrow at foreign communist support for his party have hatred in their hearts.
There is a covid angle to Chinese interference in our elections. Recall that in the earliest days of the pandemic, Trudeau and the National Research Council (NRC) signed a deal with a Chinese vaccine company, CanSino Biologics, which involved, as Post columnist Diane Francis put it, “a sweetheart deal to transfer Canadian intellectual property needed to create vaccines for Ebola and SARS-CoV-2 to the Chinese.”
The objections even then were several. Why work with China, which at that time had kidnapped the Two Michaels and held them for over a year? Why give China power over Canadian vaccine supply? Why trust the Chinese regime at all when they may have been covering up the origin and spread of the virus?

Then there is the still mysterious story about the sudden removal in 2019 of scientists Xiangguo Qui and Keding Cheng from the vaccine development and antiviral therapies section at Canada’s National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg. That lab collaborated with the Wuhan lab. Their removal, just months before the virus began circulating in Wuhan, was due to “policy breaches.” Whatever they did, the federal government was eager not to say much about it.
Between their removal and the outbreak of the pandemic, China supported Trudeau in the 2019 federal election, through illegal donations to multiple Liberal candidates, according to intelligence leaks reported by Global News.

Oh, this is awkward:

Here:

The Trudeau government determined that there was no “actionable evidence” after it received a CSIS transcript of an early 2021 conversation between Liberal MP Han Dong and China’s top diplomat in Toronto, according to a senior government source – saying conclusions could not be drawn that Mr. Dong asked Beijing to keep two Canadians in prison for political reasons.

A stunning new report by Global News journalist Sam Cooper alleges CSIS was so concerned China interfered to help Liberal MP Han Dong in his nomination race that they asked for the Prime Minister to rescind Dong’s nomination.

Trudeau in fact knew how serious the infiltration by China into Canada’s elections and democratic institutions was three years ago, based on a report by a non-partisan committee of MPs and Senators he created in 2017 to advise him on national security issues.



There are simply no words for this:

Two Canadian citizens whose detention in China sparked an international firestorm were guests during President Joe Biden’s visit to Ottawa on Friday, a nod to the solidarity between the U.S. and Canada over rising tensions with Beijing.


No, this using two men as pawns to distract from the bleeding obvious fact that some people were bought by China.
