A merry Saint David's Day to you all!

Justin is definitely going to need some help with this one:

Guess what I found? Who was present at the donation signing when a million dollars was given by Niu Gensheng to the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation?

The man who wrote the report on foreign election interference and found that our election wasn’t compromised.

The Chinese donors who funded the Trudeau Foundation also wanted a statue of chairman Mao Zedong - the Chinese leader who brought his country under Communist control - erected in Montreal.

“If Canada does not start to take this matter much more seriously and engage in effective measures to bring it under control and ensure that the Chinese regime is complying with the norms of the international rules-based order in its relations with Canada, this could impact on our alliance with the Five Eyes,” he said, citing potential concerns around “elite capture.”

But none of this is an issue, says Justin's friend.

 

This must be a relief for the Chinese to hear: 

China’s embassy in Ottawa is denying reports of attempted election interference in Canada, saying the claims are “baseless and defamatory” and harm diplomatic relations. ...

“China has always been firmly against any attempts to interfere in other countries’ domestic affairs,” reads a statement the embassy emailed to The Canadian Press.

“We are not interested in meddling with Canada’s internal affairs, nor have we ever tried to do so.”

 

You don't say: 

The politically connected Chinese donors who pledged $1-million to the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation and the University of Montreal did not only want to build a statue of the former prime minister.

They also sought to erect a statue at the university’s law school of chairman Mao Zedong, the Chinese leader who brought his country under Communist control and, in his decades as the Great Helmsman, oversaw policies that led to huge numbers of deaths from famine and violence.

“They suggested one of Trudeau and Mao together,” Geneviève O’Meara, a spokesperson for the University of Montreal, confirmed to The Globe and Mail.

The donation has come under new scrutiny after The Globe and Mail reported this week that its announcement followed instructions from a Chinese diplomat, who told billionaire Zhang Bin to give $1-million to the Trudeau Foundation. Mr. Zhang was promised full reimbursement by the Chinese government, a national security source told The Globe.

Their conversation was captured by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, which has documented a pattern of Chinese attempts to influence the Canadian political process and elections.

CSIS also explained how Chinese diplomats conduct foreign interference operations in support of political candidates and elected officials. Tactics include undeclared cash donations to political campaigns or having business owners hire international Chinese students and “assign them to volunteer in electoral campaigns on a full-time basis.”

Sympathetic donors are also encouraged to provide campaign contributions to candidates favoured by China – donations for which they receive a tax credit from the federal government. Then, the CSIS report from Dec. 20, 2021 says, political campaigns quietly, and illegally, return part of the contribution – “the difference between the original donation and the government’s refund” – back to the donors.

Canada’s CSIS knew that the Chinese plot went all the way up to Trudeau.

Canadian Security Intelligence Service captured a conversation in 2014 between an unnamed commercial attaché at one of China’s consulates in Canada and billionaire Zhang Bin, a political adviser to the government in Beijing and a senior official in China’s network of state promoters around the world.

They discussed the federal election that was expected to take place in 2015, and the possibility that the Liberals would defeat Stephen Harper’s Conservatives and form the next government. The source said the diplomat instructed Mr. Zhang to donate $1-million to the Trudeau Foundation, and told him the Chinese government would reimburse him for the entire amount…

Mr. Trudeau’s Liberals swept to power in October, 2015, with a majority government. Seven months later, Mr. Zhang attended a Liberal Party fundraiser at the Toronto home of Chinese Business Chamber of Canada chair Benson Wong, where Mr. Trudeau was the guest of honour.

 

The Chinese get what they pay for! 

You know, the Soviets had similar plans:

The minister of the environment and climate change listed a number of regulations the Liberal government will be enacting in the coming months — a cap on oil and gas emissions, reductions to methane leaks and stricter emissions regulations on refineries — as evidence that they are going to start tightening the vise on the fossil fuel industry to reduce emissions.

“They are going to start doing their part,” he said. “That’s what I tell Canadians. And the reason it hasn’t happened yet is because we haven’t asked them to do it. We haven’t forced them to do it, and we’re going to force them to do it.”

But ... the shoes:

“We do not see human remains with geophysics,” GeoScan Geophysics Division Manager Brian Whiting stressed during the Tseshaht announcement. “There’s no such thing as a geophysical bone detector. We’re looking for very indirect evidence: disruptions in [soil] layers, reflections from things like potentially coffins if there were any.”

Well done, kids!:

The program helps children and teenagers around the world launch experiments aboard NASA rockets.

For their experiment, the students between the ages of nine and 11 focused on the EpiPen, a common medical tool found in classrooms across the country. The injection device is used to reverse the effects of life-threatening allergies.

The kids had a cosmic question: would an EpiPen still work in space?

“I thought it was brilliant,” said University of Ottawa chemist Paul Mayer, who helped analyze the group’s findings.

“The first part of doing science is asking the right questions and they asked a fantastic question.”

The students took samples of epinephrine, the active ingredient in EpiPens, and put them in tiny cubes, which were sent on board a NASA rocket and balloon.

Once the cubes returned to Earth, their contents were brought to a lab at the University of Ottawa.

There, Mayer and his team made a remarkable discovery: the epinephrine no longer worked, stunning the career chemists.

“There is an interaction with the cosmic radiation that comes when you leave the atmosphere,” he explained.

In fact, part of the sample became toxic in space.

“The epinephrine came back only 87 per cent epinephrine,” explained student Isaiah Falconer. “The other 13 per cent was converted into benzoic acid, which at that quantity was highly poisonous.”

The findings proved the children’s hypothesis and are spurring new questions about potential risks for astronauts with severe allergies. “To find out (that) scientists who have been working for years and years on this and then us elementary school kids discover it, it’s really cool,” said student Antonio Lucifero.

 

Imagine what an indoctrination-free education can do!
