Hand-picked Judge Finds Justin Not Guilty of Treason

To wit:

Foreign Interference Inquiry - Justice Hogue practiced at the same law firm as Pierre Trudeau and Jean Chretien.

I wish Justice Hogue well on this assignment, but for transparency all Canadians should be aware that:

The federal government needs to significantly bolster its defences against the growing threat of foreign interference by China, India and other hostile actors before the imminent federal election, but there are no “traitors” in Parliament, according to the foreign interference inquiry.

 

Indeed: 

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was forced to defend his party's fundraising methods in the House of Commons Tuesday after media reports emerged revealing he attended a fundraiser with a Chinese businessman who went on to donate $200,000 to the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation.

"The prime minister was the star attraction at this exclusive cash for access event with Chinese billionaires," said Tory MP Blaine Calkins during Tuesday's question period.

"Zhang Bin is a political advisor to the Chinese government, and after attending the event, he and his partner ... donated $1 million ... including $50,000 to build a statue of the former prime minister.

In September, Mr. Chong appeared on Capitol Hill before the Congressional-Executive Commission on China, a bipartisan committee of U.S. senators, members of the House of Representatives and executive-branch emissaries. “Foreign interference is a serious, national security threat to Canada. It threatens our economy, long-term growth, social cohesion, our Parliament and our elections. It requires a suite of measures to combat, including closer co-operation among allied democracies,” he told the commission.

A member of Canada’s Parliament testified on Tuesday that high school students from China were transported by bus to vote for him in a party election that is at the center of a federal inquiry into interference in Canadian elections by China and other foreign countries.

Testifying during a public hearing in Ottawa, the Parliament member, Han Dong, a Chinese-Canadian politician formerly from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party, said that he had met and sought the support of the students from a private high school in 2019, but that he did not know who had chartered or paid for the bus on the day of the election.

A Canadian intelligence report disclosed during the hearing said there were indications that a “known proxy agent” of the Chinese Consulate had provided the students “with falsified documents to allow them to vote” even though they did not reside in Mr. Dong’s electoral district.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says several current and former Conservative parliamentarians are either engaged in or targets of foreign interference as he lambasted the federal Conservative leader for refusing to get top-level security clearance.

Hogue also issued a simultaneous order to seal their affidavits from the public for 99 years, after commission materials are deposited at the National Archives of Canada when the inquiry ends.

Was there foreign interference targeting the 2019 and 2021 general elections?

Yes. I have no difficulty concluding that there was.

 

And yet no one was actually guilty of propping up a government that received a low popular vote.

How interesting.
