How Awkward, Part Deux

No, that Chinese bribery thing is STILL not going away:

It’s not odd at all, because our Liberal politicians met with members who run one of the alleged illegal Chinese police stations now under investigation.

There’s your Prime Minister himself - Justin Trudeau.

Makes investigating them, well… inconvenient, let’s say. https://t.co/fjVCVYIMMM pic.twitter.com/kPFEbT5U8I

Today, according to a piece in @LeDevoir, Guy Lefebvre maintains that “he was content to insist on the independence of universities here from political powers and foundations, unlike China.”

Why did he wipe his biography of his affiliations with a CCP think tank in Beijing then? https://t.co/pZi2bQMahA

Parliament must mandate public disclosure of foreign agents, a three-term Liberal MP yesterday told the Commons. “We need that to happen,” said MP Francesco Sorbara (Vaughan-Woodbridge, Ont.), a member of the Canada-China Legislative Association: “I am completely for a foreign lobbyist registry.”

 

Oh, I am sure you are.

 

 

Because of course they did:

An attempt by the Conservatives to have a parliamentary committee undertake a study aimed at “getting to the bottom of dishonest conduct and attempted foreign interference” of the Trudeau Foundation was voted down by the Liberals and the NDP on Monday.

Conservative MP Garnett Genuis was hoping to call on former foundation presidents Morris Rosenberg and Pascale Fournier to testify on the foundation’s governance and funding in relation to a controversial donation with possible ties to the Chinese government. He also wanted to call the three directors who remain on the board on an interim basis following the mass resignation of directors and executives last week, and several other witnesses.

The resignations followed leaks to the media by security sources that a large donation to the foundation in 2016 by businessman Zhang Bin had been secretly arranged and backed by the communist regime in Beijing. It was intended as part of a Chinese-influence campaign targeting Justin Trudeau, who was then on a political track to the prime minister’s office. A report by Montreal newspaper La Presse last week anonymously quoted directors saying they were quitting over a failure to refund the money to Zhang and the “ethical” behaviour of the foundation.

 

Every single able-bodied individual should park themselves in front of NDP MPs' offices and picket every event the NDP event (like the Jew-hating al-Quds Day, for example).

Don't let them labour under the misconception that anyone likes them.

 

 

Look what the Americans have done:

One of two men arrested for allegedly operating a secret police station for China in Manhattan had photographic evidence on his phone of the opening of a similar covert station in Canada, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation says.

Lu Jianwang, 61, and Chen Jinping, 59, were arrested Monday on charges of conspiring to act as agents of China’s government without informing U.S. authorities, and obstruction of justice.

Last year, Spain-based human rights watchdog Safeguard Defenders exposed a network of illegal police stations run for Chinese authorities in Canada, the U.S. and around the world. It initially identified more than 50 of them, but later expanded the estimate to more than 100 globally.

A document filed in a Brooklyn federal court this month said Mr. Lu’s smartphone contained a photograph of ceremonies to commemorate the opening of Chinese overseas police stations in five countries, including Canada. Among the people depicted in a collection of other photos on the phone were “association presidents from Spain, France, Canada and the Netherlands,” an affidavit in support of Monday’s arrest warrants said.

In Canada, it’s not clear whether the RCMP have been making headway on the matter. In a December, 2022 report, Safeguard Defenders identified what it believed were four illegal Chinese police stations in Canada.

 

The RCMP have done jack.
