Bombshell report of Beijing’s interference in our democracy, intimidating an MPs family over a vote in the House of Commons.

CBC: why you need sex ed before you go to space.

Not one article on their news home page about Trudeau’s inaction.

Related: Almost three-quarters of the public blame the news media for political polarization and most have very little faith in the press’ ability to “fairly and accurately” report the news. I know you’re all shocked.

Stephen Chase is live tweeting her testimony, sort of.

Update: Pascale Fournier, former Trudeau Foundation CEO, describes how her property (including her phone) was promptly confiscated at her home following her resignation over a controversial Chinese donation

Laura Love: Here’s maybe, partially why he cannot answer your question or expel anyone. He is a long term associate of XiXi Li, who runs two locations that are allegedly CCP “overseas police stations” who are now under investigation by the RCMP. Here is me discovering SinoQuebec two days before the RCMP state in the press that they are investigating her and her two service centers. (Thread).

Fraud and breach of trust charges against a former Agriculture Canada researcher at the research centre in Swift Current, Sask., have been stayed.

Yantai Gan was to go to trial May 1, but a King’s Bench judge ruled earlier this year that the matter was taking too long.

Federal prosecutor Wade McBride said the Supreme Court of Canada’s Jordan decision established timelines to get matters to trial. For provincial court, the limit is 18 months and for King’s Bench it must be heard within 30 months.

“We argued all sorts of points as to where portions of the delay (occurred),” McBride said.

“In the end the trial judge found that to the end of the trial would be 30 months and two weeks, so we would be two weeks past that Jordan absolute limitation.” […]

Gan, now 67, was charged in November 2019 after a 21-month investigation by RCMP.

He allegedly worked for Gansu Agricultural University in China while also working for the federal government.

Court documents alleged the offences occurred between Jan. 1, 2012, and June 30, 2018. They said Gan entered into an unauthorized contractual arrangement with the university, failed to disclose the relationship and the remuneration he received, and that he recruited for, or organized, an international research collaboration for the university.

The arrest was kept secret for two years.

The greatest victory is that which requires no battle: “He told MPs that Mounties nevertheless parked police vehicles in front of the four suspected illegal police stations to show their presence”

“The Trudeau Foundation built such a latticework of high-level contacts that seemingly half of Ottawa is either an official member, has been on the payroll, has acted as one of its official “mentors” or has benefited from its largesse”

Laura Love – Is it just me or does Journalist @ChantalHbert having any or an opinion on the Trudeau Foundation scandal at odds with the fact that she was named an “official” mentor of the same foundation in 2011!?

More emerging on the upheaval at Trudeau Foundation. La Presse citing sources alleging conflict of interest and lack of transparency from Foundation members that accepted massive PRC-linked cheque, now turns out name on it doesn’t look legitimate. La Presse cites internal Trudeau Foundation review.

As this story evolves, the perception issues surrounding the Special Rapporteur’s prior links to this Trudeau family foundation won’t help the argument that he is totally distant from entities subject of PRC interference efforts

Update: The Globe & Mail lays out the full stink in English: Un-returnable Chinese donation triggered governance crisis at Trudeau foundation

The taxpayer-backed Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation was plunged into crisis in March, several weeks after the Globe and Mail reported that a major 2016 donation ultimately came from the Chinese state rather than a Beijing billionaire, according to an internal document obtained by La Presse.

Shortly after the Globe story broke, the foundation publicly announced it would return $140,000 to the Chinese benefactor.

But the document says problems cropped up when the foundation began preparations to send back the money.

The foundation’s board was alerted that the name on the reimbursement cheque to return the Chinese donation would not be the name of the real donor.

This stalled plans to return the cheque because the name of the true donor, according to the document, did not appear anywhere on the accounting books of the foundation, La Presse reported. It said such a reimbursement would therefore have been unlawful, according to the internal foundation document.

The Montreal newspaper reported that eight members of the foundation board, who were not directors at the time the donation was received in 2016, then demanded that an independent investigation be carried out. They asked those longer-serving members of the board to recuse themselves from any discussion of the matter because they were in a conflict of interest.

One source told La Presse the Chinese donation ultimately turned out to be a “stink bomb” that led to an internal crisis of governance at the foundation.

The newspaper also reported that members of the board of directors even considered asking the office of the federal auditor general to investigate the matter.

These revelations come after the head of the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation and its board of directors resigned Tuesday, blaming the political backlash that followed a revelation that the true benefactor behind a large financial gift from a Beijing billionaire was the Chinese government.

The foundation announced in early March that it planned to return $140,000 to the wealthy Chinese donor after The Globe and Mail reported that the contribution was part of a Beijing-directed influence operation to curry favour with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau…

BOOM.

Succinct: I never heard about the Chinese Communist Party pouring donations into the Canadian Kidney Foundation or the Special Olympics. It seems the only charity they were interested in was the Trudeau Foundation. I wonder why?
