Sam Cooper Exclusive: Another panty drops.
In a journalistic probe including interviews with numerous Canadian intelligence, law enforcement and diaspora sources, The Bureau has discovered aside from casino crimes at 5 Decourcy, CSIS investigators suspected the gambling haven functioned with Chinese intelligence to capture Canadian politicians in Beijing’s clandestine election-interference networks.
Following YRP’s July 2020 night raid on 5 Decourcy, while detectives pursued illegal casino and weapons charges against 18 suspects, officers also reached out to CSIS investigators with stunning information.
They said that digital video evidence seized from 5 Decourcy’s owner, a politically-connected Toronto real estate developer from China’s Anhui province, revealed that local politicians could have been recorded in compromising sexual acts. […]
According to a senior intelligence source, CSIS’s warrant alleged 5 Decourcy’s owner, 52-year-old Wei Wei, was tied to the Chinese Communist Party through his companies in Anhui, and that he was director of an Anhui-Canada “Friendship Association” started in 2012 in connection to Beijing’s foreign-influence arm, the United Front Work Department.
The warrant document also alleged Wei Wei had ties to a Vancouver community leader investigated by CSIS, the source said, and that another suspect charged in the 5 Decourcy casino raid was the family member of a high-ranking Chinese Military Intelligence official.
The warrant was sent to CSIS headquarters in Ottawa but it languished for months in bureaucratic limbo, three sources said.
They said CSIS’s opportunity to obtain technical evidence from YRP collapsed in early 2021, when illegal gaming and weapons charges against Wei Wei unravelled bizarrely, allowing the mansion casino owner to recover his digital content from YRP.
(They weren’t languishing. Our bureaucratic limbos work late into the night on these cases.)
But The Bureau’s investigation into CSIS’s suspicions at 5 Decourcy Court goes beyond questions of Chinese political activity inside the massive mansion.
An examination of hundreds of federal election campaign documents and Chinese media reports reveals sprawling fundraising networks emanating from a circle of directors in the Canada-Anhui Friendship Association that is named in CSIS’s 5 Decourcy warrant application.
In addition to Wei Wei, these directors include several prominent Liberal Party officials and fundraisers close to Justin Trudeau and his power circle of senior aides and cabinet ministers.
Some of these players are identified by The Bureau in a notorious series of “cash-for-access” meetings and donations that a recent United States congressional report termed a “Chinese state-backed plot to improperly influence then Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau.”

“Wei Wei ultimately forfeited ownership of his 5 Decourcy Court property and $960,000 in cash and weapons seized from the mansion, signing a “peace bond” with Crown prosecutors, promising not to engage in gambling crime; ”
Lucky for him he didn’t send $50 to the Freedom Convoy, eh? When do you suppose CBC will be calling Tamara and asking her for a comment on the scales of justice?
So the Yorkies had evidence, and gave it back because one of their officers lifted a pair of watches, allegedly, and CSIS HQ pulled a Sgt Schultz.
If we had a competent intelligence service, they’d be taking apart the life of the person who sat on the warrant , but instead we have a bureaucracy whose whole existence is designed to avoid accountability.
I was a commercial interior designer in Toronto for 25 years, doing mostly hospitality design (hotels, restaurants, resorts, dance clubs and even a strip club). My experiences during those 25 years is that high powered men in all these areas are major “horn-dogs”. They think nothing of having mistresses or hookers and then buy off their wives with either expensive jewelry or furs. Perhaps it is different now, but that was what it was like from 1977 to 2002.
Naaawwww. Just ask John Tory. He’ll swear on the grave of Jack Layton that it ain’t so.
Is there nothing that can’t be corrupted by bad people at the top ?
Tell me again why our brave men died in two world wars and the Korean War ?
I’ll wait…
How much of his affair was paid for by the government? Or for that matter wasted by the government to pay for an extra room of the floozy he was schtupping?
Double jeopardy.. We welcome the people and the investments but not the political interference?.. Isn’t that quaint.. In case you didn’t notice we are becoming more like communist China than them becoming a liberal democracy.. Safe investments and the brotherhood of money..
The idea that our democratic values and constitutional underpinnings have anything to do with wealth is a delusion.. Like all things, it just so happened in a moment in time.. Turns out you can sell their eyeballs and still turn a tidy profit..
Canada:
Yes to Chinese politics. Indian (both native and Khalistani extremists) politics. race-based politics, woke politics.
No to traditional common law, equality before the law, free press, freedom of speech, right to bear arms.
You describe Trudeau’s priorities to a tea.
In the good old days they compromised politicians by luring them into brothels. In the very near future it’ll be daycares and petting zoos.
‘caught in compromising sexual dalliance’
jeezuz murphy.
this has been going on since bloody Roman times at least.
Christine Keller google that name.
russian bigshot caught on video away they go.

and ESPECIALLY in 2024 with ubiquitous hi res button battery size lenses
Excellent investigative report. I like SDA’s last sentence, urging SDAers to support Sam Cooper on Substack. It cost only $5 a month.
David, if I or you had to pay a monthly fee for every site we visit, I don’t know about you, but it would be beyond my ability and desire. I cannot afford it.
It was a nice country we had here. It’s a shame something terrible happened to it.
Either you do or if don’t, they will make it up anyways, just ask Trump about Russian hookers, Stormy Daniels and his department store rape.
