Justin’s buddy is upset that people would question China using Canadian resources to develop bio-weapon viruses.
Gerald Butts mocks story of Chinese officer’s access to top-secret virus research
The China Virus Will Bring About A Socialist World
Muslim woman with a bag over her head declares that socialism is the answer to the virus. I have some Christian friends in Egypt, and they have pointed out to me about China’s growing influence in countries like Egypt. Its a good thing we have Justin to protect us from China.
What About Canada And New Zealand??
A new security pact has been formed to confront China. For some reason Canada and New Zealand were not included. Perhaps because they both have socialist, China loving leaders.
Update: Biden goes full dementia
Vote Liberal Or Else
Nice country you have there. It would be a shame if something should happen to it. Forget about what party should win the election. China has ordered everyone to vote Liberal.
Update: China punishes Britain.
That Would Never Happen…

China’s Corporate Social Credit System: How businesses can prepare
The system touches on virtually all aspects of a company’s business operations in China. It assesses the performance and demeanor of companies, by analyzing topic-specific ratings (e.g. tax, customs and environmental protection) and compliance records (e.g. on anti-monopoly cases, data transfers, pricing and licenses). The automated system collects data, processes and rates it against the defined requirements. Based on their rating, Chinese authorities will reward businesses with “good” and sanction those with “bad” behaviour.
China has already introduced the system. It is expected to be fully implemented by the end of 2020.
China Orders Canada To Vote Liberal
Although fascist China calls Blackie a running dog from time to time, they still prefer him over O’Toole. After all, they did donate a lot of money to his foundation.
Erin O’Toole rejects Chinese ambassador’s claim that Canada-China bond is “stable”
Xi and Justin
Amid a narrowing federal election, the Chinese ambassador to Canada says some politicians are putting their own “political interests” ahead of the Canada-China relationship in an apparent reference to the Conservative Party.

Chinese state-owned shipbuilder tapped to supply ferry for Crown corporation
A huge state-owned shipyard in China is building a 1,000-passenger ferry for use by a federal Crown corporation over the objections of Canada’s shipbuilding industry and at a time when two Canadians have spent 989 days in Chinese prisons as victims of what Ottawa has called “hostage diplomacy.”
Marine Atlantic Inc. awarded a $100-million, five-year ferry charter contract in late July to Sweden’s Stena North Sea Ltd., which subcontracted construction of the 200-metre vessel to China Merchants Industry’s Jingling shipyard for delivery in 2024.
We Should Thank China
A Liberal MP in diverse Toronto thinks we should thank Justin’s favourite country for donating supplies to us. Cabinet aides didn’t think this was a good time, maybe later.

Terry Glavin: The West is buckling under China’s brutal hegemony
In Canada the rot runs deep
Ottawa’s response to Canada’s latest humiliation has been characteristically tepid, relying mainly on the delicate complaints offered by lifelong China-trade enthusiast Dominic Barton, the ambassador Ottawa plucked two years ago from the helm of McKinsey & Co — a global consultancy noted for providing management-efficiency expertise to dictatorships all over the world and for its service to Purdue Pharma in boosting sales of Oxycontin to American drug addicts. Canada’s embassy in Beijing convened a kind of press conference consisting of a couple of dozen diplomats from a variety of liberal democracies who were invited to stand on a platform for a photo opportunity and mutter platitudes about how hostage-taking is bad manners.
You’ll Love Being Chinese
Yes, you will: If “mandatory” fails to work, then what do politicians do for an encore?
Yes.

You’ll Love Being Chinese
Really. It’s virtually guaranteed.

Twitter posts are “undermining Canada’s democracy,” said Canada’s Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault in a briefing note, who is urging regulation of hurtful comments for “a truly democratic debate.”
Cabinet on June 23 introduced Bill C-36 An Act To Amend The Criminal Code that threatens Facebook, Twitter and YouTube users suspected of posting content that promotes “detestation or vilification” with house arrest or $70,000 fines. The heritage department promised public consultation on the bill, according to Blacklock’s.
“This content steals and damages lives,” wrote staff. “It intimidates and obscures valuable voices, preventing a truly democratic debate.”
“Our objective is to ensure more accountability and transparency from online platforms while respecting the Canadian Charter Of Rights And Freedoms,” said the June 16 briefing note Regulation Of Social Media Platforms. “The mandate of the Department of Canadian Heritage includes the promotion of a greater understanding of human rights.”

Canada’s public pension fund has invested millions of dollars in companies accused of bolstering China’s military-industrial complex — companies the U.S. government has barred Americans from putting their money into because they allegedly pose a security threat.
The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board has invested $3 million in shares of a company that makes components for Chinese warships, and another $2 million in a company affiliated with a manufacturer of fighter jets and unmanned drones, according to its most recent holdings disclosure.
Canada’s former ambassador to China called the pension’s investments troubling.

Canada’s national police force broke privacy law by using controversial facial recognition software that put innocent Canadians in a “24/7 police lineup,” the federal privacy commissioner says.
The RCMP conducted “hundreds” of searches of Clearview AI’s database of billions of photos scraped from the public internet, including social media sites, without consent. The company lets law enforcement and private business then match photos against that database.
It was illegal, according to privacy commissioner Daniel Therrien — both Clearview AI’s collection of images without consent, and the RCMP’s use of that database of unlawfully collected images.
Clearview’s practices amounted to “mass surveillance,” Therrien concluded, and the RCMP’s use of its database broke the Privacy Act.
“The data involved in (facial recognition technology) speaks to the very core of individual identity and as both commercial and government use of the technology expands, it raises important questions about the kind of society we want to live in,” Therrien concluded in his report.
The RCMP initially denied it used Clearview AI, both publicly and to the privacy commissioner, who is an independent officer of Parliament.
After a joint Toronto Star and BuzzFeed News investigation found the Mounties had paid for Clearview’s services, however, the force publicly admitted to using the controversial tools on a limited basis — predominantly for identifying victims of child sexual exploitation.
But Therrien’s office concluded that not only did the RCMP initially “erroneously” say it had not used Clearview, the force “did not satisfactorily account for the vast majority of the searches it made.”
