The deeper you dig, the more you learn how much effort China put into affecting Canada's democracy. The alarm on China’s interference is ringing louderAs the noose tightens around Trudeau for ignoring election Chinese Communist Party interference that helped him get into office, the Canadian government starts with it's damage control. First an ousted Minister of Parliament over the allegations. Now a Chinese diplomat is ousted. China is warning of repercussions. And without free speech and the "right wing media" which exposed it, nobody would know about it. |

America's hat in serious trouble. It's pretty bad. And that's not an overstatement. I called a Civil War up here over a year ago and Meta pulled out all the stops on the Hate Train for it. But it's bad. Most recent development? The Prime Minister was briefed on election China's interference but lied about not being briefed about it. |

Blacklocks Reporter is an incredibly good independent news source. They specialize in reporting about what's happening in Ottawa when nobody else is and they often break new ground that larger news sites use. In the past year they've been thrown out of press meetings whenever the Liberal Government is holding press conferences. But you KNOW something is right about them when they specifically send a letter to the Canadian Senate asking them to defund Legacy news stations and get Government OUT of the news. www.blacklocks.ca/guest_commentary/our-submission-to-the-senate/#_ftn4 |

Look at this  logic. They're handing out money hand over fist in Canada. Probably more so than almost any other Western country. They've created high inflation by printing and spending $100 Billion against all logic destroying poor people's money. They are charging carbon taxes on everything while fazing out traditional fuels, driving up the cost of living into the stratosphere. They have literally destroyed the economy and pushed people into poverty single handedly. But home prices are a "human right". What a bunch of insane authoritarians. Cabinet's Housing Advocate @housinglogement says capitalism in real estate is "harming people," testifies: "The market needs to be regulated." |

Jagmeet Singh leads the NDP, the third largest political party in Canada. The NDP are in a coalition with the Liberals, keeping Trudeau's minority government in power longer than it would be without the coalition. The cracks are starting to show. Federal drug regulators in a memo to the health minister complained of the “hard reality” of political influence by pharmaceutical lobbyists. The Access To Information memo was disclosed yesterday by New Democrat leader Jagmeet Singh.
“The pharmaceutical industry is simply not amenable to any measure that would further constrain its ability to sell patented medicines in Canada at free market prices,” said the Memorandum To The Minister Of Health. The document dated December 8, 2021 was written by the Patented Medicine Prices Review Board, the federal agency responsible for monitoring drug prices.
“The hard reality is even wealthy countries like the U.S. and Canada find themselves at an increasing disadvantage in their dealings with a sophisticated, transnational trillion-dollar pharmaceutical industry when seeking to advance reforms that put long term sustainability over short term profitability,” said the Board memo.
{Entire article in Spoiler}Federal drug regulators in a memo to the health minister complained of the “hard reality” of political influence by pharmaceutical lobbyists. The Access To Information memo was disclosed yesterday by New Democrat leader Jagmeet Singh.
“The pharmaceutical industry is simply not amenable to any measure that would further constrain its ability to sell patented medicines in Canada at free market prices,” said the Memorandum To The Minister Of Health.

“The hard reality is even wealthy countries like the U.S. and Canada find themselves at an increasing disadvantage in their dealings with a sophisticated, transnational trillion-dollar pharmaceutical industry when seeking to advance reforms that put long term sustainability over short term profitability,” said the Board memo.
New Democrats in a 2022 Supply And Confidence Agreement agreed to vote with cabinet in the minority 44th Parliament on a Liberal promise to pass a bill on universal public drug insurance coverage by December 31, 2023. No bill has been introduced to date.
“It is very clear the Liberal government is in the pocket of the pharmaceutical industry and you are paying the price of that,” said Party leader Jagmeet Singh. “You are paying higher drug prices because of this.”
New Democrat MP Don Davies (Vancouver Kingsway) yesterday told reporters that cabinet had broken many promises on regulation of drug prices. “In 2015 the Liberals came into office promising to lower prescription costs for Canadians,” said Davies. “Today in 2023 we don’t have a single reform actually in force.”
New Democrats in the 2019 election campaign proposed a taxpayer-funded pharmacare program with a $5 user fee for patients who requested brand name medications when generic substitutes were available. The Parliamentary Budget Office put costs of the program at $10.5 billion a year.
Access To Information records obtained in 2020 disclosed aides to then-Finance Minister Bill Morneau attended confidential meetings with insurance lobbyists opposed to pharmacare. “At the end of the day it’s certainly important that we are able to brief up internally here at Finance with the clearest picture possible of the state of play and potential impacts for the insurance sector,” read one staff email.
None of the meetings with the Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association were reported under the Lobbying Act. Lobbyists provided in-house research comprised of “sensitive information not to be shared” indicating pharmacare was costly and not viable, said records. |

So, Saturday in Oakville, Ontario (West end of Toronto) there was a large F*ck Trudeau party in the parking lot of a Canadian Tire store. The media spent the entire week trying to discredit the protest (just Google all "anti Trudeau Canadian Tire party" to see how many articles were written trying to condemn it as Canadian Tire distanced itself from the event and others tried to "make sure" it wouldn't happen. Now that the party has happened I can't find ONE SINGLE ARTICLE about it in the legacy media. Why is that? It's the ultimate gaslighting....like it never even happened. This is the CBC - Canadian Broadcasting Corporation - search bar. Multiple searches turn up absolutely NOTHING. www.cbc.ca/search?q=anti-trudeau§ion=all&sortOrder=relevance&media=allThis is what is happened in Canada. People are protesting in droves and the media refuses to cover it because the media is subsidized by the government and it is insulating real news from the people. |

Right before the "official" start to the pandemic, the Canadian government in late 2019 escorted 2 Chinese scientists under suspicion of spying and sharing lab secrets to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. What a coincidence.  The SAME government has been fudging Covid numbers, pushing vaccine and lockdown mandates unethically and illegally are also refusing to investigate these two Chinese scientists for 3 years now and the investigation seems to be heating up. From the article: "The Liberal government has fought tooth and nail to prevent the release of information on the circumstances of the firing of Qiu Xiangguo and Cheng Keding, a married couple, citing national security and privacy concerns.
While the two scientists were escorted out of the Winnipeg lab by the RCMP in 2019"

Canada now supports Medically Assisted Dying to those who are medically ill, in poverty or mentally ill.
They are encouraging people to kill themselves.
Can you believe this is happening?

Now that it's been proven that the $140,000 Chinese CCP donation to the Trudeau Foundation was misrepresented, MPs press for disclosure of 10 yrs' worth of records from Trudeau Foundation. Mr. Johnson, family friends with Trudeau, friends with Trudeau's dad, cottage buddy, skiing buddy and someone who ran the Trudeau foundation finds "no conflict of interest" between Trudeau and the Chinese Communist Party election interference. But does NOT recommend an "independent, public inquiry". Meanwhile, conflicting accounts of Johnson's relationship with Trudeau continue to disagree with Johnson / Trudeau as others push for an independent, public inquiry. In 2010 Trudeau described Johnson as "a frequent dinner companion" meanwhile, Johnson states now that "I saw him a few times as a kid." {News report in Spoiler}
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in a 2010 radio interview described David Johnston as a frequent dinner companion with whom he had “great conversations.” Johnston on Tuesday dismissed his “so-called friendship” with Trudeau as insignificant.
“We had great conversations around dinner tables around all sorts of things,” Trudeau told CBC Radio in an interview marking Johnston’s 2010 appointment as governor general. “I always respected him as a man who was very personable, very real and very, very smart,” Trudeau said at the time.
James Fitz-Morris, the CBC reporter who interviewed both Johnston and Justin Trudeau, said in his original broadcast: “Pierre Trudeau and Johnston were friends. The families often vacationed together, the three Trudeau boys and five Johnston girls.”
Fitz-Morris, now a political aide, yesterday said he could not recall the source of his report that the families vacationed together. “I remember the interview and the story,” said Fitz-Morris. “I don’t remember where that piece came from.”
Fitz-Morris said he “chatted for a good bit before and after the interview” with Johnston. “It could have been from that but I really don’t remember,” he said.
Prime Minister Trudeau when asked Tuesday of his friendship with Johnston dismissed the relationship with a single reference. “I saw him a few times as a kid,” said Trudeau. “I got to know him after he was appointed governor general by Stephen Harper.”
Johnston also denied any close relationship with the Trudeaus, recalling mainly that they parked their car in his condo lot in Québec’s Laurentian Mountains. “These are the facts of the so-called friendship,” said Johnston.
“I knew Mr. Trudeau’s father,” said Johnston. “He had a country home about 50 kilometres away in Val-Morin. On I think five occasions over several years he and his three sons came and parked their car at our parking lot outside our condo and we skied.”
“On one of those five occasions or so he had to leave early to get back to Montréal and on that occasion I drove the three sons over to their mother’s country home which is about 10 kilometres,” said Johnston. “Those are the so-called neighbourhoods. My friendship with the current Prime Minister was based only on a few skiing expeditions with my children.”
The two men were questioned over their friendship after Johnston as the Prime Minister’s “special rapporteur” absolved Trudeau of any misconduct in handling Canadian Security Intelligence Service memos on activities by Chinese agents. Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre yesterday ridiculed the arrangement.
“Trudeau hires him to investigate the interference in the Trudeau Foundation,” Poilievre told reporters. “David Johnston says, ‘Don’t worry about that, I had someone look into it and make sure I’m not in a conflict of interest.’”
“Who does he hire? His ski buddy, his chalet neighbour, his family friend,” said Poilievre, who has sought a public inquiry into allegations of illegal conduct by Chinese agents. “We have to put this in the hands of a trusted judge rather than in the hands of Trudeau’s ski buddy,” he said.
Bloc Québécois leader Yves-François Blanchet yesterday said Johnston’s conflict was obvious. “I am not taking the word of Mr. Johnston at all,” said Blanchet. “Even if before we might have said we do not know if he is neutral or not, today we do know he is not.”
“The issue is, what happened?” said Blanchet. “How can we protect ourselves against such things in the future? Because China won’t stop. Mr. Johnston just said, ‘Go on, enjoy, have fun. Canada is open for you.’” |

In regards to the news of Chinese Election interference, in 2010 there were NO Chinese diplomats in Montreal. Now there are more Chinese diplomats in Montreal than in France. Beijing Has More Diplomats in Montreal Alone Than All of France: Federal FiguresBeijing has more diplomats in the city of Montreal than in all of France, while Canada hosts just 23 fewer Chinese diplomats than the United States, according to recent figures from Global Affairs Canada (GAC). In a report titled “Diplomatic, Consular & Other Representatives In Canada,” GAC listed all active foreign diplomats in the country as of March 31, as first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter. The report said that as of the end of March, GAC had accredited 138 Chinese diplomats across Canada—one of whom was Zhao Wei, the Chinese consul in Toronto expelled by the federal government earlier this month after reports that he had targeted members of Conservative MP Michael Chong’s family in Hong Kong. Of the 138 total Chinese diplomats in Canada, 18 were stationed at Beijing’s consulate in Montreal, according to the GAC figures. No other countries—including French-speaking ones—had more diplomats stationed in Montreal. Haiti had 13 stationed in the city, Belgium had eight, France had five, and Switzerland had four. Beijing also had 30 diplomats—now 29 excluding Zhao—stationed at its Toronto consulate, 21 stationed in Vancouver, and 12 in Calgary. |

The lawyer assisted Johnson was a Liberal party supporter and has never donated money to any other political party. |

This Chinese interference conspiracy continues to grow. Trudeau was accused of blocking an investigation into Chinese interference when CSIS, Canada's top police force warned him of it. He denied it. Turns out he was lying. So Trudeau tries to appease critics by appointing a "Special Rapporteur" to decide whether it needs to be investigated or not. Except the Special Rapporteur is a lifelong friend of the Trudeau family and a strong Liberal supporter. Special Rapporteur decides no independent investigation needed. Surprise, surprise.  Johnston, the Special Rapporteur states that it can't be investigated with a public inquiry without exposing classified documents.  CSIS executives testify to MPs that Johnston is wrong and that it CAN be investigated without exposing classified documents. What an interesting people politicians are.  |
