Good afternoon, fellow Canadians. As your vigilant observer, I want to share with you some concerning revelations brought to light at the PROC committee meeting yesterday. Investigative journalist Sam Cooper unveiled the depth of foreign interference in our 2021 elections during his interview with Erin O’Toole.
Cooper’s sources indicated that as far back as 2021, CSIS was aware of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) agents tracking an MP. Even more disconcertingly, these agents supposedly approached potential voters about this candidate, a move CSIS regarded as ‘coordinated and alarming.’ Cooper himself became a target of the CCP after he published his book detailing their foreign interference.

These current and former Members of Parliament undermined Canadian security and democracy by seeking to stop CSIS pursuing People’s Republic of China interference in Canadian elections [in 2010]. They tried to get then CSIS Director Richard Fadden fired for publicly warning about Chinese electoral interference.
Each of them owe Canadians and Mr Fadden an apology, and we ought to ask some serious questions about any potential relationships they have with Chinese Communist Party and United Front members.

Has lost a good man.
A special investigator named by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to probe alleged election interference by China on Friday said he would quit, citing widespread opposition to his appointment and work.
David Johnston, 81, said he would leave his post by the end of June, or as soon as he has delivered a brief final report. Last month he said Trudeau’s government had not ignored evidence of Chinese meddling and recommended against an official public inquest.
Such interesting times.
Chris Selley: Good grief. Judging from his resignation letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Johnston still doesn’t seem to understand what the problem was. At all.

It’s Not Sleazy Being Green
The unscrupulous recycling of cooking oil is a hazard China has long been all too familiar with. Merchants were once infamous for collecting waste to blend with clean edible oil, triggering scandals — and eventually crackdowns.
Today, with the waste-oil industry and westward exports booming thanks to Europe’s push for more green fuel, the questions are back.
European producers worry they’re being undercut by companies in Asia that are mixing fuels with cheaper feedstocks and mislabeling them in order to qualify for renewable-energy incentives.
There is circumstantial evidence for concern. A spike in Chinese exports to Europe over the past year has coincided with a significant increase in Chinese imports of palm waste and palm-based biofuel from Indonesia and Malaysia.
Those products have been shunned by European Union nations and their consumers, wary of encouraging deforestation and, in general, reluctant to use agricultural products for fuel.
‘These allegations are, put simply, false’
Laura Love: Hmm, that’s a heck of a lot of money for the federal government to donate as “a gift” to David Johnston’s “Rideau Hall Foundation”. Ten million dollars for Johnston’s charity eh? Do the feds do this for others who are retiring? Why no, no they do not.
Paging Chairman Obvious
Trudeau can't change course because he knows that to do so means the rest will be spilled into public view by Beijing. They hold the pin on a grenade. https://t.co/vpVthUTlHW

Summary from Sam Cooper: and this is a bombshell, O’Toole risked breaching his boundaries in Parliament, to disclose @csiscanada informed him of “payment of funds by the Chinese Communist Party through the United Front Work Department to create specific products of misinformation on me as a leader” […] This is the first time I have heard a politician outline the full scope of what I have been informed of by experts and sources regarding CCP’s sweeping and covertly funded campaign of threats and inducements (support of candidates) to exert influence on Canadian elected govts.
RIP Claudia Rosett
You may remember her reporting from the Oil For Food days;
Much of her career was spent with the Wall Street Journal, serving as its Moscow bureau chief and editorial page editor for the Asia division. She was fearless and passionate, especially when reporting about repressive regimes around the world. Claudia was the only print journalist who witnessed the Tiananmen Square uprising in 1989, dodging bullets to get the story out to the world (you can read her first-hand account here). She was also a fierce critic of the United Nations and is widely credited with exposing corruption in the international body. She received several awards for her reporting on the UN’s Oil-for-Food program in Iraq. In recent years she had traveled to Hong Kong to cover protests over the encroachment of China. She was also a foreign policy fellow at the Independent Women’s Forum.
They don’t make them like her anymore. (And those that they do are shunted off to Substack).

Michael P Senger- The Great COVID Ventilator Death Cover-up
This practice of prolonged intubation was apparently consistent with guidance from China. As Zeynep Tufekci had put it, “Chinese scientists” advised “many COVID-19 patients need to stay on mechanical ventilators as long as four weeks.”
The New Yorker featured a harrowing account of one early victim’s final moments before he was put on a ventilator and died—even though he didn’t even “feel sick” at the time he was intubated.
A study in JAMA later revealed a 97.2% mortality rate among those over age 65 put on mechanical ventilators. Patients over age 65 were more than 26 times as likely to survive if they were NOT placed on mechanical ventilators.

Today, Democracy Watch revealed…
… that a search of Elections Canada’s database shows that lawyer Sheila R. Block, whom David Johnston retained to assist him in obtaining, reviewing and analyzing secret information that Prime Minister Trudeau gave them access to, seems to have donated a total of $7,593.38 (listed under “Sheila Block” and “Sheila R. Block”) to only the Liberal Party of Canada from 2006 to 2022. Johnston confirms that he retained Ms. Block for these purposes on in Section II.2) of his first report (page 6 of PDF) which he released yesterday.
Democracy Watch announced that it will file a complaint with the federal Ethics Commissioner’s office that David Johnston is violating the federal Conflict of Interest Act by ruling on his old friend Justin Trudeau’s actions on foreign interference. DWatch already filed a complaint with the Commissioner about Trudeau violating the Act by handing a government contract to his old friend Johnston – click here to see details.
It is a violation of the Act to participate in any decision or action when there is an opportunity to further your own interests, your relative’s interests, or the interests of a friend, and both Trudeau and Johnston are covered by the Act.
Too bad there’s no current Ethics Commissioner to roll out those message-sending $100 fines.

As Trudeau travels the globe spreading inclusion and blackface: Erin O’Toole met with David Johnston for his Report
To set the scene, Mr. Johnston did not reach out to the Conservative Party, my office, or Pierre Poilievre’s office until the final week of his initial assignment. He waited until the very end to meet with the current and former leaders of the Party that had been the central target of the foreign interference he was charged with investigating. If I am to believe media reports, Johnston interviewed the Bloc Quebecois leader about events alleged to have taken place in British Columbia and Ontario – where Mr. Blanchet ran no candidates – before he finally got around to me or the present Conservative Leader. This makes no sense.
I was still waiting to receive a CSIS briefing on foreign interference that had been promised the week before when my office was called by the Johnston team and told we only had two days to make the meeting work. I asked to meet with him following my meeting with CSIS (which I am still waiting to receive) but was told that this was not possible. I confirmed with Pierre that his office received a request to meet on the same day that I was. He declined the meeting and somehow that information was leaked to the media within hours. […]
Given the pressed timeline, we were literally putting the binders together as Mr. Johnston arrived at my office with his counsel. With this in mind, you might understand how disappointed I was to learn halfway through my meeting that Johnston’s report was already undergoing French translation. I was flabbergasted and realized that nothing I was going to provide to the Special Rapporteur was going to impact his work.
What a country.
Update: Johnston’s report is in.

A Quebec charity suspected of hosting two secret Chinese “overseas police stations” has received more than $4.45 million (£2.65 million) from the Canadian government over the last three years.
According to the Montreal Gazette, the Service à la Famille Chinoise du Grand Montréal (SFCGM), which purports to provide support to the Chinese community, is really used by Beijing to monitor and intimidate its citizens in Canada.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) believe this is one of two secret police stations in Quebec, which has nearly 92,000 people of Chinese origin.
There has been growing anxiety about the network of secret Chinese police stations across the world, which are accused of routinely harassing exiles on behalf of Beijing’s authoritarian regime.

Kelly McCauley, a Canadian Conservative MP, said he was “stunned” that no attempt had been made to recoup the money.

I’m Not Eating Bugs And I’m Not Eating Chicken-19
They’ll do for chicken what they did for coronavirus;
GOOD Meat’s filing reveals the China-linked firm JOINN is integral to the production and quality control of the newly-licensed cultivated chicken. The company, founded in 2018 as an offshoot of its parent JOINN Laboratories, has a facility not far from Eat Just’s headquarters in San Francisco.
According to the filing, “JOINN Biologics US Inc (CA, USA) currently produces the chicken cells in a dedicated manufacturing suite” in Richmond, California. The filing goes on to describe how “the cells harvested at JOINN Biologics are frozen for shipment without cryopreservation agents to locations where the finished meat food products are prepared.” In addition to manufacturing the chicken, JOINN is responsible for ensuring the raw materials it is produced from are of a suitable quality and “food safety risks from potential adventitious agents or other contaminants” are mitigated.
Chinese Biowarfare.
JOINN Biologics made national headlines in 2022 when it bought 1,400 acres of land in Morriston, Florida at a cost of $5.5 million, to build a new primate quarantine and breeding facility to expand the parent company’s existing lab-animal-breeding operations. The purchase was one of the largest single purchases of American real estate by a Chinese company to date.
News of the purchase led to the revelation that JOINN, like most Chinese companies, has extremely close ties to the Chinese government and its biowarfare program.
