The company they purchased from was only incorporated weeks before it was selected.
[Trudeau’s] declaration that Canada has no core identity and is a “post-national” state was the catalyst for a steady decline in the pride of being Canadian.
The white-hot anger now being directed towards the prime minister is the result of a cultural backlash from people who feel like they have become strangers in their own land, abandoned by progressive values and policies they don’t share or understand.
And somehow manages to avoid the words “Chinese” and “corruption”.
Was Christie Clark a Conservative before? It depends, and it's not good.
CBC's Catherine Cullen interviewed Clark and asked about her voting for Jean Charest in the last CPC leadership race and then things got messy.

Globe and Mail- Beijing says it’s willing to deepen economic ties with Canada as Trump brings trade chaos
He was Conservative non grata after the carbon tax fiasco, so eh, thanks China!
Explosive internal Conservative Party emails obtained by The Bureau reveal that on August 26, 2021, a senior party official expressed concern over then-leader Erin O’Toole’s breakthrough in the polls — the first time the Conservatives inched ahead of Justin Trudeau’s Liberals. This same Ontario-based Chinese Canadian official would later spearhead a petition against O’Toole following the party’s election defeat, while a group of Conservatives simultaneously accused him of alienating Chinese diaspora voters, ultimately contributing to his removal as leader.
Just days before, on August 23, 2021, pollster Nik Nanos described the election as a “dead heat” in his analysis. “You’ve got to be disappointed if you happen to be a supporter of the Liberals,” Nanos said. “Now the race is on.” By August 26, O’Toole had pulled ahead — a development that prompted suspicious criticism among a subset of Conservative Party officials.
According to The Bureau’s review of emails between Conservative national councillors, a message dated August 26, 2021, shows the Chinese Canadian official voicing concern over reactions to O’Toole’s climb in the polls. The chain began with an internal email titled “Nanos Polling Results Last Night.” One Conservative member wrote, “Erin O’Toole is resonating with the voters for sure, many have made positive comments… I wasn’t getting that in 2019!”[…]
The Bureau can further confirm that this official was removed from the party after an internal investigation found violations, including interference in nomination contests — a breach of party rules requiring strict neutrality from national councillors.
A Conservative source familiar with O’Toole’s campaign and the subsequent investigation said the findings suggested the Chinese Canadian official “broke neutrality in a nomination race.”
“In addition, it is now becoming clearer that was also a complex way to support candidates that won’t take a hardline on China,” the source suggested. “Given what else we know, a much bigger picture is emerging.”[…]
Meanwhile, Conservative Party members have informed The Bureau that pro-Beijing networks appear to be targeting several Conservative nomination races in Vancouver and Toronto, as leader Pierre Poilievre seems poised to capitalize on the collapse of Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government — which has been challenged by reports suggesting Trudeau turned a blind eye to Chinese election interference that endangers Canada’s sovereignty.

Bureau Exclusive: Beijing Endorsed Nomination of 41 Candidates in Canada’s 2019 Election
An elite Chinese Communist Party organ has published a chillingly sophisticated analysis of People’s Republic interference during Canada’s 2019 federal election, noting that Justin Trudeau personally campaigned in key Toronto-area ridings and highlighting Beijing’s satisfaction that 41 ‘distinguished’ Chinese candidates were nominated by various political parties in 2019, achieving a reported election ‘success rate of 20 percent.’
The analysis was published in February 2021 by the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese (ACFROC), which experts describe as a central agency in the CCP’s United Front system, functioning as a “bridge” to connect the CCP with Chinese populations abroad. Alex Joske, an expert cited in Canadian immigration proceedings, explains that ACFROC’s primary objective is to mobilize diaspora networks in support of Beijing’s policies, particularly during national exigencies. During the COVID-19 pandemic, for example, Joske reports that ACFROC coordinated with Chinese communities worldwide to source and direct medical supplies back to China, demonstrating its capacity to mobilize global diaspora communities.
In its February 2021 report, analyzed exclusively by The Bureau, ACFROC highlights the significance of the Liberal Party leader’s engagement with Chinese voters,
Sam Cooper, with new revelations;
In an explosive admission, Parliament’s Canada-China Committee has confirmed that Canada’s spy agency, CSIS, issued a direct and unheeded warning to senior health officials in August 2018, raising concerns about “insider threat activities” linked to Dr. Xiangguo Qiu and her husband, Keding Cheng.
This alert, delivered seven months before the couple’s network—with connections to the highest levels of Chinese biological weapons research—coordinated the shipment of live Ebola and Henipah virus samples from Canada’s high-security National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), highlighted risks posed by their continued access to sensitive materials.
“CSIS held a briefing for personnel responsible for security at [Public Health Canada],” in August 2018 that “focused on foreign interference and included possible indicators of insider threat activities, as well as other security risks,” according to CSIS’s submission to the Committee. In CSIS’s presentation, “student programs were identified as being one of these possible threat vectors,” prompting “[Public Health Canada] to flag two scientists to CSIS, Dr. Cheng and Dr. Qiu,” the Committee report, released Tuesday, states.
Despite these explicit warnings, no immediate restrictions were placed on Qiu, Cheng, or their Chinese students’ access to Canada’s sensitive research materials. In December 2018, Public Health Canada authorized a fact-finding investigation into the concerns, but the delayed response effectively allowed them to continue their operations, further endangering Canada’s security.
The Committee report also finds—like the ongoing Hogue Commission—that Justin Trudeau’s government, including senior bureaucrats and ministers, showed a reluctance to act on or even acknowledge urgent alerts from CSIS, exposing a stark divide between CSIS’s view of Chinese threats and Trudeau’s.
Dr. Qiu’s associations with China’s military and scientific programs had deep roots. She began her work at the Winnipeg NML in 2003, followed by her husband’s employment there in 2006.

Desperate times call for desperate accusations.
In a dramatic turn at Canada’s foreign interference inquiry today, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau alleged that he possesses a list naming a number of past and present Conservative parliamentarians whom he claims are engaged in foreign interference.
Trudeau took aim at Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre’s decision not to seek top-level security clearance, suggesting that this amounted to a “willful” disregard of compromise threats within Poilievre’s party, which is poised to defeat Trudeau in an upcoming election, according to recent polls.
In an explosive cross-examination this afternoon, Conservative lawyer Nando De Luca pushed back, accusing Trudeau of irresponsible grandstanding.
The stunning testimony saw Trudeau assert earlier in the day:
“I have the names of a number of parliamentarians, former parliamentarians, and or candidates in the Conservative Party of Canada who are engaged, or at high risk of, or for whom there is clear intelligence around foreign interference.”
Trudeau added that he has “directed CSIS and others to try and inform the Conservative Party leader, to be warned, to be able to make decisions that protect the integrity of that party, of its members, from activities around foreign interference.”
Conservative Party lawyer Nando De Luca hit back, questioning Trudeau about whether he was aware of any Liberal politicians implicated in the same way.
Trudeau responded bluntly, “Yes,” and later pointed to “Don Valley North.”
“In your testimony earlier today, you mentioned knowing the names of past and present Conservative parliamentarians who are at risk of being compromised by foreign interference. Are you aware of any Liberal parliamentarians at risk?”
“Yes, and for other parties as well, because I have access to large amounts of information.”
Poilievre responds: “Release the names of all MPs that have collaborated with foreign interference.”
For the first time, Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has testified on his view of two explosive Canadian intelligence reports, including the “Targeting Paper,” which described how Chinese diplomats assessed Canadian MPs based on how helpful or hurtful they could be to Beijing. Trudeau confirmed that this report was not shared with him by his key security advisor, Jody Thomas.
Additionally, Trudeau addressed three memos starting in 2019 that intended to brief him on foreign interference threats, all of which he claimed never reached his desk, with the intended briefings for Parliamentarians, which he was requested to authorize, only occurring in June 2024.
The inquiry into foreign interference in Canada’s elections has uncovered deep, ongoing divisions between Trudeau’s top aides and Canada’s intelligence community, with particular focus on two pivotal reports: the CSIS Targeting Paper and the PCO January 2022 Special Report. These documents, which detail how Beijing has sought to influence Canadian politics, have become central to understanding how the government responded—or failed to respond—to the growing threat of interference. […]
However, Trudeau acknowledged that despite some “interesting tidbits” in the report, his National Security Intelligence Advisor (NSIA) had decided not to pass it on to him in 2021, deeming it not significantly relevant to his understanding of China’s behavior. “I have faith, having looked at the paper, that it was indeed the right decision by the National Security Intelligence Advisor—that it wasn’t a document that significantly added in a relevant way to my understanding of the situation.”
The actual contents of this paper are unknown, and blocked from the Commission by Trudeau’s Attorney General.

From @SheilaGunnReid: Trudeau blames CSIS for THREE memos advising unclassified briefings for parliamentarians on foreign interference languishing without action in HIS office FOR 5 YEARS.
Defence Minister Bill Blair says he cannot explain why his office waited nearly two months to approve a security warrant placing Liberal Party organizers under surveillance over suspicious contacts with members of the Chinese Communist Party. “I agree I was at all times responsible,” Blair testified at the Commission on Foreign Interference: “Was this a politically sensitive warrant?”
