Immigration, multiculturalism, democracy – pick any two.
As Canada’s snap election unfolds under the shadow of foreign interference—following the resignation of a Liberal MP accused of suggesting his Conservative rival could be handed to Chinese officials for a bounty—The Bureau has uncovered new allegations that Chinese agents attempted to intimidate voters and the Conservative incumbent in the same Markham–Unionville riding during the 2021 federal campaign. The revelations raise urgent concerns that similar tactics may be resurfacing in Toronto-area ridings with large communities of immigrants from China and Hong Kong. […]
According to multiple senior figures from Erin O’Toole’s 2021 Conservative campaign—who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of intelligence disclosures—O’Toole’s team was briefed by Canadian intelligence that Chinese officials were actively surveilling Saroya during the election. One source recalled being told that “there were Chinese officials following Bob Saroya around,” and that “CSIS literally said repeatedly that this was ‘coordinated and alarming.’”
“Bob lost because the Chinese vote abandoned him,” the source added.
When asked to respond, O’Toole—who stepped down after the 2021 loss—acknowledged awareness of voter intimidation reports but did not say whether CSIS had informed his team about alleged Chinese surveillance targeting Saroya.
“Our candidate Bob Saroya was a hardworking MP who won against the Liberal wave in 2015,” O’Toole wrote. “He won in 2019 as well, but thousands of votes from the Chinese Canadian community stayed home in 2021. We heard reports of intimidation of voters. We also know the Consul General from China took particular interest in the riding and made strange comments to Mr. Saroya ahead of the election. It was always in the top three of the eight or nine ridings that I believe were flipped due to foreign interference. The conduct of Mr. Chiang suggests our serious concerns were warranted.”
You forgot the Conservative candidate who wants critics of India to be shipped to that country for punishment.
So that’s what “whataboutism” looks like, thanks for the lesson, Librano. Try this. What about the fact your party is a corrupt cancer on the country, nothing more than an instrument designed to keep the Laurentian Elite in control, via a band of useful idiots? Pretty sure I know where you fit in that construct, hammerhead.
When the liberal trolls show up it means things are not going as planned.
The election strategy going since parliament was prorogued was to do everything they could to depress the conservative vote.
When this fails they go publicly begging the NDP to lend them their vote.
It goes to defcon 5 when they play the racist-multiphobic-misogynist card
ah. you noticed that too?
also, what the fuuuuuuuuuuck is being ‘done’ about this extremely dangerous encroachment on election integrity in Canaduh? what the h-e hockey sticks does it tell us when one of the ‘traditional’ old parties leaps at the chance when they find out kowtowing to an economic foreign giant translates into votes and power?
what DOES that tell us about that party’s basic mindset regarding ethics transparency and governance? and by extension the millions of zombies that cluck the party line and put the X next to the Lieberal candidate. DOZENS of times?
Ok, Hammerbot
A.I. programmers are busy developing a “butwhatabout” app which reflexively invents an Idiosyncratic Counter-Example – real or imagined – which all all whataboutism believers insist, obviates the General Rule. The expect large contact sales to the Liberal Party and its apologists
This story above is another way that the Liberal Party government of Canada subverts democracy in this country,by turning a blind eye to foreign interference that benefits the Liberal Party government of Canada.
The Liberal Party government of Canada subverts democracy in Canada by bringing in millions upon Millions upon millions of immigrants who are rushed to the voting booths as quickly as possible because the vast majority of them will vote liberal because that’s who the Liberal Party of Canada government is bringing into Canada, liberal voters.
The Liberal Party of Canada government is also subverting democracy by handing out almost 2 billion dollars a year to all the mainstream media, and influencers, all of which will not bite the hand that feeds them.
The Liberal Party of Canada government is also subverting democracy by promising Untold numbers of free gifts, paid for by taxpayers ,but promoted by the Liberal Party government of Canada. Examples are when they say free this and free that given to you at no cost thanks to the Liberal government of Canada, EG, free $10,000 heat pumps to every household in the east coast of Canada. Repeatedly using the word free, free, free over and over and over again during the rollout of this taxpayer funded money grab.
Another way that the Liberal Party government of Canada subverting democracy is by hiring vast quantities of government employees, all of which will vote Liberal because of Liberal government paying out huge wages and benefits to these government workers.
.
Because of all this subversion of democracy in Canada done by the Liberal Party government of Canada we need to subtract a minimum 5% of every total vote in every riding in Canada that is cast for the Liberal Party government of Canada. This must be done so as to restore democracy in Canada and remove the thumb off the scale that the Liberal Party government of Canada is using to subvert democracy across Canada.
All tried-and-true Soviet tactics

Yes, the Lieberal government investigated itself and found no wrongdoing in respect of CCP interference. And, to prove its findings, all materials reviewed will be locked away for a century.
The next move that will be made by this “criminal enterprise” will be to place the “proper people” into power positions at c s i s so that in the future, there won’t be any of these inconvenient alerts or rumors leaking out, just as was done with the r c m p , on the fentanyl file.
Once this last step is complete, there’s no possible turning back, peaceful little Canuckville will finally be conquered.
The proper people are already there. Hence, CSIS lists the Proud Boys as a violent domestic terrorist group. BLM/Antifa considered by CSIS as benevolent organizations. Even says the evil Proud Boys disrupt the peaceful demonstrations by BLM/Antifa.
CSIS is less trustworthy than the KGB or the Stasi.

The accelerated decline of Canada that began with PET has not been mitigated in the slightest degree by any gov’t, be it con or lib, since then. They are all complicit in the fleecing and abuse of the Canadian people.
Harper set the stage for drastically increased Chinese influence with FIPA.
Well this certainly explains why that extradition request by the NY attorney general to get Meng into a NY court room seemed to drag on so long.
“Journalists” in this place must know what’s coming for them under communist party rules, truckers found out, and while they reported on it with glee at the time, they cannot be that stupid that they cannot see that the bell tolls for thee?
If they make a mistake or get out of line, even the most radical leftists have to know they will be ended.
Canada – A Dictatorship?
Methinks the answer is a resounding YES
Is Canada really an elected dictatorship? This has been advanced by many writers, but when the Mainstream Media starts reporting on it you may get the idea that something is up. The problem is that the centralization of power in the Prime Minister’s office has been consolidated to the point where the PMO is in control not only of elected MP’s but of the civil service as well through threats, intimidation or outright dismissal.
Over time and under successive prime ministers power has shifted away from Parliament and has now become thoroughly subordinated to the technocratic backroom operatives in his office who wield the real power.

Parliament? It’s a museum in Ottawa.
Human rights reminders in this place are so stinky they put your human rights in a museum in Winnipeg.
I think you should be looking at the reason for this “interference.” China isn’t toying with Canadian politics on a whim. They are doing so to secure beholden politicians within the government frame who will vote a certain way on a certain issue. You have to ask yourself what that issue is.
Personally, I think this is the long game to secure Canadian claims within the Arctic. China is, already, attempting to buy minerals rights and mines in the region. They have been teaming with Russia on various exercises in the area. While China has no claim on any of the Arctic, they have named themselves “near-Arctic State”. It’s a useless designation that they just made up. But, it telegraphs their intentions.
So, why Canada, specifically? Well, because Canada has totally disregarded security and military presence in the region. To the Chinese, that means it’s there for the taking. All they need to do is influence the Canadian government enough and they’ll move right in as if it were always theirs.
China aside.. Do you think America invests billions… Transplants its own people into a nation without interfering in its politics?.. Its absurd to hear all the double talk on this situation.. We want the money we drink the Coke..
Oh it’s just double talk?
The values of the Communist Party of China are exactly the same as American values?
You could live in China just as easily as the USA?
Or perhaps you’ll pack up the family and emigrate to Iran or Russia? All the same to you?
“One of these things is not like other one … One of these things is not like the other one …” That’s what USAID exported to communist China … Sesame Street logic.
Hmm.. Oddly enough, the Aussies are having a similar problem.. Apparently, some western political parties just can’t get enough Chinese support it seems..
