National security officials were particularly concerned about O-Net, according to a source familiar with the 2015 assessment, because they considered the Hong Kong firm effectively controlled by the Chinese state. A corporate presentation prepared by O-Net in 2015 indicates more than 25 per cent of its shares are owned by a company that is a subsidiary of Chinese state-owned China Electronics Corporation.
This sounds like exactly the kind of thing one expects, when wealthy donors from a certain country are attending Liberal $5k-per-plate dinners, and other pay-to-play functions with the Shiny Pony/Small Potato.
In a completely related vein, did you know that South Africa has nearly twice the population of Canada, and has a much bigger armed forces? It does.
Its funny how people are so worried that Trump might be influenced by the Russians and nobody seems concerned that China has bought the Liberal Party of Canada.
thr rat,
I wouldn’t say nobody….Much is out there. Pay attention to what Richard Faden, ex CSIS head said. Faden has cracked open a door as much as he can, but people (and press)need to push at that door and ask questions.
Don’t discount the idea that a non-Conservative party was playing footsie with Wikileaks and by extension the Russians in the last election
“…new governments usually want to “stake out their ground” by demonstrating they understand that national security always overrides commercial concerns.”
Unless, of course, you are soliciting political donations from individuals and organizations with ties to the Chinese government.
According to our Prime Minister we are a post-national state, so this government is staking out its ground as such.
Am I the only guy who remembers this?

Only 20 years ago…
The nut doesn’t fall far from the tree. Daddy was a Nazi sympathizer – got him booted from the army. The Trudeaus simply hate Canada.
in 2008 very few of us were saying Obama hates the USA, and we turned out to be right, he did as much damage to it as he could.
Now it is our turn to have a leader who hates the nation he leads and wants to turn it into something he loves.
Trudeau loves islam and china, he celebrated his election by dancing with muslims while wearing muslim clothes, how canadian of him!!…and he spends vacations at muslim homes…he said he wishes he had china’s power and as mentioned above it is pay for play with trudeau’s chinese friends.
trudeau is as much a traitor to canada as obama was to the USA.
yes a traitor.
he does not work for us, he works for them.
yep.
turdeau 1.0 thought it the paragon of humour to roar around montreal on a motorcycle wit’ a WW I kraut helmet on
whilst his similarly aged fellow citizens proceeded to hop on the ocean liner on the way to duke it out with the nasties.
this used to be on a gubbamint information web site but no more.
also, is this item related to the factoid that some of those black boxes that make the internot work, and come from Chirer, include firmware programmed to pass a copy of the bit stream to Beijing authorities?

No,you’re far from the only person on THIS site who remembers Sidewinder, but as I’m sure you remember, the government of Jean Chretien downplayed this report,as they were busy trying to get contracts for Bombardier and Power Corp. with China.The LPC has been in bed with China for decades.

This article clearly shows the deep relationship between the government of China and the Liberal Party.
I noticed the headline article a couple of weeks ago and posted it on Reader Tips, but it wasn’t getting much notice at the time,buried deep down at NN and I believe there was a brief mention on the TV news. Harper had the good sense to stop the sale of this company to China, Trudeau hasn’t got the sens he was born with.
Canadians are easily led,the story is; Russians bad, look how dirty the bastards play against us in hockey. Remember ’72! On the other hand, Chinese are ever smiling nice people,why I eat at Chinese restaurants often, and those Beijing acrobats,superb!!
China has probably infiltrated our government and all it’s agencies far more thoroughly than any Nation has ever been infiltrated by a foreign power. Thousands of Chinese students come here for education,then stay due to their “love” for this wonderful Country, and we being the swell fellows we are,hire them,especially their top notch IT people to every branch of the government tree.
No, I have a copy of my own. The LPOC moves in known circles, like the Cosa Nostra. If you read the Sidewinder report, then you would know how the Chinese have been maneuvering themselves, financially, in this country for decades. The LPOC are like minded.
Well, he was a communist & how far away from that was the National Socialist Workers Party? Just the German branch office at the time.
If it bashed English Canada, he was all for it. So were the FLQ….lovers of things Castro & Che. They just didn’t move in Pere Trudeau’s circle of “friends in high places”. Quebec is very small, politically speaking & continues to be that way today. Notice the “who’s who” in the Sidewinder Report? Follow the money.
Oh, and go here: http://www.smalldeadanimals.com/archives/005712.html this subject has been discussed here before, like 2007.
from the comments: http://www.smalldeadanimals.com/archives/005712.html
Moe won’t stop until the UN weasels the power to TAX member nations…and he will wrangle a UN position in “redistributing” said tax proceeds to his favorite cause/investment; Chinese global industrial monopolization.
As outrageous as Moe’s thinking is, we can be thankful that the US is still a large player in restraining wacky UN politics….and they have written Moe off years ago…I think they even have warrants out for the little red gerbil.
So Moe is a spent political force within US sphere of influence.
The down side is the bugger is still connected to the Powercor-LPC cartel eminating from Quebec ( and formerly the PMO) and these mutts have made Canada’s domestic and foreign policy fit the profitability scale of Moe’s schemes…fortunately they now have limited power with the Harper Government in charge.
DeYawn’s forcing the Kyoto targets on the minority Harper government is a last-ditch extention of this decades-old Strong-Powercor-LPC-Kyoto-Chinese investment profits agenda…and Harper is about to club the LPC “kyoto dog” over the head with it for a final blow to this cartel’s influence in Canadian policy.
Next thing Harper has to do is clean out the Strong-Powercor sycophants in the foreign dept, and the UN…clean house there and I think the Strong-Desmarais-LPC cartel snake will be mortally wounded.
When Harper forms a majority government then is the time to go over all the tax dodges the Powercor PMs gave the Strong-Powercor cartel and go collect those back taxes…effectively cutting the head of this snake of a Cartel that has been systemically robbing Canada for decades.

Miss Harper yet?
Most of the money coming into this country from China falls into one of two categories: proceeds of crime, or funds from a brutal communist dictatorship that will employ any and all means to achieve global dominance.
And that applies whether it’s Vancouver Real Estate, investments in Quebec businesses, purchases of Ontario farmland, donations to the turdo trust fund, or dinners with our silly little tit at $5,000 per plate.
How come all of us boors out in the hinterlands can figure this out and see the dangers, but our anointed classes can’t? Must be a vision thing.
Trudeau loves Quebec and sees the rest of Canada as Quebec’s colonies to provide never-ending support with outrageous payments, while Quebec quietly pockets the huge profits from US electricity sales. Most of Canada doesn’t even understand what Je me souviens actually means. Quebec will never forget how they were fúcked-over by Queen Vicky in 1855. Truedau is just the most recent of a long line of Quebec PMs who have exacted their revenge on British Canada.
China is the master of the long con. They’ve been doing it for thousands of years. Canada can’t think any further than the four years or so a government might last.
Miss Harper yet?
NO We gave him a majority government and he squandered it trying to get re-elected. In the end he accomplished very little when his majority government could have done so much to fix Canada’s problems, and ended up losing anyway.
I’m being facetious. Jeez.
No,I don’t miss Harper,either.

But I wish we had a PM who didn’t so overtly worship the SOB, Maurice Strong.
