Making It All Go Away

Justin needs this latest scandal to disappear lest his Chinese financiers get rather angry.

 

Some quick background:

Trudeau was still a child when his prime minister father Pierre Trudeau was introducing him to intimates of Mao Zedong. Within months of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, a teenaged Justin was with his family on a VIP trip to China during which his father made great pains to avoid criticizing the actions of Beijing’s leadership.

Through it all, the elder Trudeau was explicit about framing the People’s Republic as a friend of Canada whose methods were not to be criticized.
“His attitude was, Canadian society is a great society. But that doesn’t give it a right to impose its values on any other society,” was how Justin’s younger brother Alexandre explained his father’s China policy in 2007.
Another time, Pierre Trudeau told his boys “outsiders simply cannot know what is best for China, or how it needs to travel down its chosen path.”  
It’s part of why – when Justin Trudeau made his first official prime ministerial visit to China in 2016 – he raised eyebrows by treating the event like a family reunion.
Trudeau’s predecessors had typically treated their Chinese visits as procedural affairs to secure trade ties – with an occasional oblique reference towards the country’s human rights abuses. But on his first press conference on Chinese soil, Trudeau reminisced about first coming to China as a “young boy” before presenting his seven-year-old daughter Ella-Grace to the assembled media.

The latest intelligence leaks about China’s influence operations in Canada are part of a trend that goes back at least three decades, though it has accelerated in recent years. 

As early as the 1990s, a joint report by the RCMP and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) was leaked to the media, warning about Beijing’s operatives and criminal gangs becoming entrenched in various Canadian sectors, but the authorities dismissed those concerns. Decades later, drug operations and money laundering became the subject of a B.C. public inquiry.
Back in 2010, long before the recent intelligence leaks concerning some federal and provincial elected officials alleged to be working with China, then CSIS-head Richard Fadden had warned about such issues. But he was condemned by a House of Commons committee for saying that some elected representatives were under the control of a foreign government. He was dragged before committee meetings in an effort to force him to retract his statements and resign.
The most recent leaks tell of an elaborate network of infiltration operations in Canada by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to subvert Canada’s elections and engineer the outcome to one desired by Beijing, while influencing politicians to act in CCP’s favour.

The former head of the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation says the level of caution Canadian institutions must now take when dealing with China was not top of mind when the charitable organization accepted a pledge from a Chinese billionaire.

Morris Rosenberg was president of the Trudeau Foundation from 2014 to 2018, which is when the charity was given $200,000 by Zhang Bin, a political adviser to the Chinese government, and another wealthy Chinese businessman.

The charity set up to honour the legacy of the former prime minister announced Wednesday it is returning the donation after the Globe and Mail alleged it was linked to a Chinese government plot to influence Justin Trudeau after he became Liberal leader.
Citing an unnamed national security source, the newspaper reported Zhang was instructed by Beijing to donate $1 million in honour of the elder Trudeau in 2014, two years before the $200,000 donation to the Trudeau Foundation was made.
Rosenberg, who says talks about the donation were already underway when he assumed his role, recalls at the time that Canada had a more positive, hopeful and trusting relationship with China.

To wit:

The last time the House of Commons pushed the Trudeau government to release details on questionable dealings with China, they went to court.

(Sidebar: this.)

In June 2021, when the House demanded documents related to the Winnipeg Lab and Chinese scientists escorted out, the Trudeau government not only refused to release the information, but they also went to court to stop its release.

(Sidebar: this.) 

That should tell you everything you need to know about how the push to get more information on the release of information on China’s election interference will go this week. ...

As early as Monday, a report could be filed with the House of Commons showing that the Procedure and House Affairs Committee has voted for a public inquiry to be called into Chinese election interference. That vote, which took place last week, went down in a 6-5 split with all six opposition MPs voting for an inquiry and all five Liberal MPs voting against.


This proposed inquiry (rigged, no doubt) is hardly the stuff of Aga Khan or the SNC-Lavalin or the WE scandals.

This proves what many have suspected all along: that Justin is merely the puppet-head of this Vichy state and that China could do what it liked with regards to Canada.

(Sidebar: but don't take my word for it.)

 

He has his top fops on the case:

But these are mere speed bumps for the proverbial bus.

Justin cannot afford to have a keen eye on what appear to be very rigged elections and Chinese influence.

This is why he will throw everything at the House to make this all go away.
