Calling Justin Trudeau et al traitors would imply that at one point they were loyal to Canada.
Nothing could be further from the truth:
Former Public Safety Minister Bill Blair’s chief of staff categorically denied delaying the approval of a CSIS electronic and entry warrant application allegedly targeting an influential Liberal powerbroker in 2021 during public testimony Wednesday.
Speaking at the Public Inquiry into Foreign Interference (PIFI) on Wednesday evening, former senior Liberal aide Zita Astravas repeatedly said claims she “slow walked” the warrant authorization for political reasons were “categorically false.”
But during her testimony, Astravas never clearly explained why 54 days went by between the moment she received the CSIS warrant authorization request in March 2021 and the moment the document was put to Minister Blair to sign on May 11.

Defence Minister Bill Blair says he cannot explain why his office waited nearly two months to approve a security warrant placing Liberal Party organizers under surveillance over suspicious contacts with members of the Chinese Communist Party. “I agree I was at all times responsible,” Blair testified at the Commission on Foreign Interference: “Was this a politically sensitive warrant?”
Consider that, other than admitting outright treason, the reason why the elected officials in this country aren't doing their jobs is because they can't and Canadians accept this.
Wow ...
Also:
About 100 Canadians are being held in Chinese prisons, says the Department of Foreign Affairs. The latest figures follow an appeal from the Chinese Embassy that Canadian visitors should not fear arbitrary arrest: “If you walk on the Chinese streets, it’s quite safe.”
No country for anyone:
The families of two Canadian-Israeli women killed in the October 7 attack on Israel are suing a wide range of organizations, arguing they’re liable for $350 million for the death of their family members.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine is already a Canadian listed terror group. It’s been involved in deadly hijackings, suicide bombings and mass shootings all the way back to the 1970s, and its members participated in the Hamas-led October 7 massacres.
Samidoun was founded by Khaled Barakat, an active member of the PFLP. And Samidoun is extraordinarily open about its ties to the Gazan terror group. Samidoun social media accounts are used to circulate PFLP press statements. The group coordinates speaking engagements for PFLP members. They celebrate PFLP birthdays and anniversaries. They even apparently use many of the same graphics and web design as the PFLP.
Barakat, in fact, is currently in Lebanon to coordinate in tandem with the terrorist group Hezbollah. He laid it all out in a lengthy blog post circulated by Samidoun. “Today and always, we stand wholeheartedly with the people of Lebanon and their heroic resistance, led by Hezbollah,” said Barakat in a dispatch from Beirut.
Three days after Barakat sent it, the PFLP confirmed that three of their members, including two military commanders, had been killed in a targeted Israeli strike on a Beirut apartment building. ...
Canada’s various anti-Israel groups have never attempted to conceal their jubilation at Al-Aqsa Flood, Hamas’s official name for their operation to massacre Israeli civilians throughout the Gaza envelope. But Samidoun has been consistent in praising the terrorist attacks by name.

After Samidoun was roundly condemned for chanting “death to Canada” at a Vancouver rally celebrating the one-year anniversary of the October 7 terrorist attacks, the anti-Israel group has doubled down on the slogan, saying it’s an accurate representation of what it intends to do.

Samidoun, a Vancouver-based anti-Israel organization, has been designated as a terror group in both Canada and the United States.

The Biden administration has warned Israel that it must increase the amount of humanitarian aid it is allowing into Gaza within the next 30 days or it could risk losing access to U.S. weapons funding.

Then there is the India business, first ignited in 1985 with the death of 332 people at the hands of Sikh extremists and now this current bungled mess:
India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said on Oct. 14 that it is expelling Acting High Commissioner Stewart Ross Wheeler and five other diplomats. They have been asked to leave the country by Oct. 19.
“The decision to expel these individuals was made with great consideration and only after the RCMP gathered ample, clear and concrete evidence which identified six individuals as persons of interest in the [Hardeep Singh] Nijjar case,” said Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly in a statement. Joly didn’t disclose the name of the expelled diplomats.

New Delhi has vehemently rejected Ottawa’s claims Indiandiplomats were linked to homicides, extortion and other violent criminal activity in Canada, describing them as “preposterous imputations” driven by the political agenda of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
In a flurry of statements late Monday, India accused Mr. Trudeau of “smearing India for political gains” and ordered six Canadian diplomats, including acting High Commissioner Stewart Wheeler, to leave the country. This tit-for-tat response followed Canada’s own expulsion of Indian High Commissioner Sanjay Kumar Verma and five of his colleagues, who have been linked to the June 2023 killing of Surrey, B.C.-based Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
India’s Ministry of External Affairs dismissed the accusations against its diplomats – which follow a year-long investigation by the RCMP in which at least 30 people have been charged – as “assertions without facts.”
“The Canadian Government has not shared a shred of evidence with the Government of India, despite many requests from our side,” it said in a statement.
A senior Canadian official said texts and messages from Indian officials about intelligence gathering and attacks on Sikhs in Canada were shared with senior Indian officials, while Mr. Trudeau said he also raised the issue with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a brief aside last week at a summit in Laos.
Even before the latest revelations, however, suspicion of Mr. Trudeau was such that he was unlikely to get a receptive audience, said Harsh Pant, vice-president of the Observer Research Foundation, a New Delhi think tank.
“I don’t think there’s any confidence in Delhi that with him at the helm there will be an honest attempt to resolve these issues,” Prof. Pant told The Globe and Mail. “Mr. Trudeau’s past has come back to haunt India and Canada’s present.”

Oh, how convenient:
On the surface, they provide a great distraction from the weekend’s attempted internal coup on the prime minister. The story of a revolt among Liberal MPs, thirty of which apparently signed a letter asking the PM to quit, hit the news cycle on Saturday. Then, presto: on Monday, the RCMP dropped its bombshell, allowing the PM to take to the airwaves and sound all grave and solemn and prime-minister like, defending Canadian sovereignty.
Hmm. But that would be too obvious. So let’s look at what else is going on in Ottawa, namely the Hogue Commission on Foreign interference. On Friday, the Commission heard from Public Safety Minister Bill Blair that his office sat for 54 days on a warrant to investigate Ontario Liberal MPP Michael Chan, accused of doing China’s bidding in Canada. Blair offered “no explanation” for the delay, and neither did his chief of staff.
Three days later, boom: India stands accused of being the major agent of transnational repression in Canada. China, who? And the focus switches from the Liberal government’s failings to the murderous machinations of New Delhi. And here’s the kicker: who is responsible for ensuring that the RCMP is “effective, accountable and addresses the government’s priorities?” You guessed it: Bill Blair, the minister of public safety.
