Master Negotiator Rides Again

National Post- Carney to visit China to talk trade with Xi 

It will be the first trip to China by a Canadian prime minister in nearly a decade, after a diplomatic row was sparked by Canada’s 2018 arrest of Huawei Technologies Co. executive Meng Wanzhou on a US extradition warrant. Shortly after, China detained two Canadians, Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, and held them until a deal to release Meng was reached with US prosecutors in 2021.

18 tweet rant – because it’s important:

China imports ~4% of their crude from Venezuela.

I suspect most have zero clue what China owns in Canada, and I’m astonished and angered by the naivety of my fellow countrymen.

I’m not putting my elbows up – we deserve what we’ll be getting.

Why?

Because we’ve been wilfully ignorant and complacency has consequences.

3 days ago Michael Ma met with the Chinese ambassador.

Velly intellesting.

Initially, @CPC_HQ the Conservative Party of Canada intended for Joe Tey to run in Markham–Unionville. Just imagine: if Joe Tey, rather than Michael Ma, had been the Conservative candidate in Markham–Unionville, we would now have a powerful, fearless voice standing against the Chinese Communist Party in Parliament. But suddenly, and without clear justification, the party moved Joe Tey to Don Valley North, a strongly Liberal-leaning riding, and handed his original Markham–Unionville riding to a spineless individual like Michael Ma.

Even worse: before Michael Ma was shifted from Don Valley North to Markham–Unionville, and before Joe Tay was finalized as the candidate in Don Valley North, the party completely ignored the extensive grassroots efforts of Sabrina Zuniga, an anti-CCP candidate, and simply parachuted in Michael Ma. As a result, Joe Tey ran a good campaign in Don Valley North, but it wasn’t enough, and the Conservatives lost the seat. Don Valley North has been heavily targeted by CCP interference. The former Liberal MP, Han Dong, was forced to resign from the Liberal caucus over allegations of receiving CCP support. Before selecting Michael Ma as the Conservative candidate, the party campaign team was warned, but they chose to ignore the warnings. CCP-friendly people were working behind the scenes to make sure Michael Ma became the final candidate. Why did we not have nomination elections in Don Valley North and Markham–Unionville ridings? This is deeply troubling.

According to Google AI: Michael Ma was “born in Hong Kong, has the Chinese birth name 馬榮錚 (pronounced Mǎ Róngzhēng in Mandarin or Ma4 Kiu4-wai5 in Cantonese Jyutping).”

Sam Cooper: Carney Floor Crosser Comes From a Riding Tainted by PRC Interference

All of our toothless laws go in the same direction.

Behind the hundreds of pages of civil filings reviewed by The Bureau lies a failure of governance as urgent as the unchecked advance of Latin cartels into Canadian cities — and as lethal as the synthetic opioids tied to the Surrey home.

British Columbia has been chasing the same house, and the same alleged transnational traffickers, through raids, affidavits and Charter of Rights battles since before fentanyl became a household word — and still has not managed to take the keys away.

The case documents explicitly point to a criminal-defence-friendly Supreme Court of Canada ruling — Stinchcombe, notoriously cited by police leaders — and to its role in undermining numerous major prosecutions involving networks tied to alleged narcoterror suspect Ryan Wedding and modern Canadian fentanyl-lab operators. One of those networks is the Wolfpack, a hybrid of Mexican cartels, Middle Eastern threat networks and biker gangs said to be supplied by Chinese Communist Party–linked criminal organizations and other Latin American cartel interests.

Sam Cooper- From Illegal ‘Police Stations’ to Rolling Consulates: Beijing’s New Interference Tactic Expands Beyond Major Cities on Canadian Soil

…a sweeping new investigation has revealed that Chinese diplomats in Canada have intensified and extended these missions — quietly staging more than 100 quickly mounted and dismantled “pop-up” consular events in 22 cities across 11 provinces since 2015, operating out of small, unofficial sites rather than accredited consulates.

Deranged Dominion or Banana Republic?

A good read.

The Bureau- Carney’s Floor-Crossing Campaign. A Media-Staged Bid for Majority Rule That Erodes Democracy While Beijing Hovers

The fallout was already clear to see last week. And it doesn’t look good for Canadian democracy or Canadian media, which receives significant government subsidies. Even at surface level, the press corps was visibly distracted from its first duty to citizens: scrutinizing a historically large budget packed with nation-building promises and unanswered questions about feasibility. Veteran reporters have already acknowledged this.

Exhibit 34

Exhibit 32

Only 43lbs Of Fentanyl

We sure do make a lot of fentanyl for a country that has no major exports.

Border officials in B.C. seized thousands of litres of chemicals used to produce fentanyl and GHB from two containers shipped to Canada from China.

The Canada Border Services Agency announced the seizure, which happened in May at the Tsawwassen Container Examination Facility, on Thursday.

“which happened in May”

Nothing to see here, either;

Earlier this year, the RCMP near Swift Current, Saskatchewan, less than 100 miles from the U.S. border, charged two Calgarians with trafficking a massive quantity of fentanyl, enough to kill nearly four million people.

The accused, Kunwardeep Singh and Swati Narula, secured bail from the provincial court nearly three weeks after their arrest. Later, Singh, a truck driver, had his bail conditions relaxed to allow him to resume driving in the Calgary area.

This raised the question of how Singh, caught with such an enormous amount of fentanyl could walk away on just twenty-five thousand dollars bail.

Dispatches from the Maple Gulag

Tyrants have always found the Magna Carta to be reckless…

Pierre Poilievre is by no means the first person to raise concerns about RCMP covering up of Trudeau/Liberal scandals.  And it’s not like there is a lack of evidence to take to trial.

But hey, we did get an apology….

Chinada: Xi Jinping Island

Regulator Admits 2018 Buddhist Land Probe Was Never Completed;

An investigation was launched in early 2016 into the land holdings of several Buddhist-related organizations under section 15 of the Prince Edward Island Lands Protection Act. According to IRAC’s response to legislators, a consultant prepared both an initial and a supplementary report and provided those documents to the investigating officers on a privileged basis. But for reasons not explained by IRAC, the Commission’s investigating officers did not ultimately produce a report, no hearing was held, and no order was issued determining whether the parties under investigation did or did not violate the Act.

The revelations have shocked legislators and residents who for years believed the province had quietly completed — and withheld — the 2018 report. Instead, the correspondence shows that the probe was effectively abandoned without explanation.

The Bureau;

In Ottawa they call it “arm’s-length.” Out in the real world, people call it duck-and-cover. At Meeting No. 6 of the House of Commons transport committee, MPs confronted a simple, damning timeline: Transport Canada’s top non-partisan official was warned six weeks before the public announcement that BC Ferries would award a four-ship contract to a Chinese state-owned yard. Yet the former transport minister, Chrystia Freeland, told Parliament she was “shocked.” Those two facts do not coexist in nature. One is true, or the other is.

There’s an even bigger betrayal hiding in plain sight. In the last election, this Liberal government campaigned on a Canada-first message—jobs here, supply chains here, steel here. And then, when it actually mattered, they watched a billion-dollar ferry order sail to a PRC state yard with no Canadian-content requirement attached to the federal financing. So much for “Canada first.” Turns out it was “Canada… eventually,” after the press release.

Conservatives put the revelation on the record and asked the only question that matters in a democracy: what did the minister know and when did she know it? The documents they cite don’t suggest confusion; they suggest choreography—ministerial staff emailing the Prime Minister’s Office on how to manage the announcement rather than stop the deal that offshored Canadian work to a Chinese state firm.

Follow the money and it gets worse. A federal Crown lender—the Canada Infrastructure Bank—underwrote $1 billion for BC Ferries and attached no Canadian-content requirement to the financing. In plain English: taxpayers took the risk, Beijing got the jobs. The paper trail presented to MPs is smothered in black ink—hundreds of pages of redactions—with one stray breadcrumb: a partially visible BC Hydro analysis suggesting roughly half a billion dollars in B.C. terminal upgrades to make the “green” ferry plan work. You’re not supposed to see that. You almost didn’t.

BREAKING NEWS: Another Liberal Scandal

Chrystia Freeland stood in Parliament dismissing any federal role in BC Ferries’ $1-billion deal with a Chinese state-owned shipyard.

But leaked e-mails show the truth:

1. The Canada Infrastructure Bank (a federal Crown corporation) quietly financed the purchase.

2. Liberal staff scrambled behind the scenes to manage the optics instead of protecting Canadian jobs and security.

3. Even Liberal ministers admitted they were “dismayed” but still went along with it.
