Cabinet had to follow “due process” before firing suspected Chinese spies working at the National Microbiology Laboratory, says Health Minister Mark Holland. Scientists with links to the People’s Liberation Army came under surveillance in August 2018 but remained on the job until July 2019: “Do you think they were eminent scientists or eminent spies?”

Two confidential CSIS witnesses have testified that CSIS director David Vigneault took the rare step of changing a sensitive intelligence report on MP Han Dong for the second time in 2023, following a meeting between Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Vigneault regarding media leaks about CSIS investigations into suspected Chinese interference in Dong’s 2019 nomination in Toronto.
Following a day of bombshell testimony regarding this and other meetings between Trudeau and Vigneault, Tuesday evening Commissioner Marie-Josée Hogue ruled that Vigneault will be recalled Friday for re-examination on his private discussions with the Prime Minister and Trudeau’s top aides.
Follow Sam Cooper on X for today’s developments: Min Gould was briefed 7 times on PRC election interference, and yet she is apparently disputing the briefs related to China especially, and doesn’t agree PRC election interference occurred.

Sometimes I think people outside of Justin’s Canada are more worried about free speech in this country than Canadians. Trudeau’s dystopian online harms act.

WHOA !!!! No wonder the Liberal gov withheld these CSIS docs until 1 am this morning.
“We know that the PRC clandestinely and deceptively interfered in both the 2019 and 2021 general elections.”
“At least 18 candidates and 13 staff members were implicated in PRC foreign interference networks.”

The Libranos: Grifter General
Two days ago, Trudeau was in Alberta, promoting modular construction as a way to solve the housing crisis he created.
He chose NRB Modular Solutions as a backdrop for his press conference. NRB is part of Dexterra Group, a leading support services and solutions company in Canada.
Who recently joined Dexterra’s Board of Directors? None other than Justin Trudeau’s favorite “Uncle”, the 28th Governor General of Canada from 2010 to 2017. Mr. David Johnston. […]
Not a bad gig, if you can get it. Johnston attended 6 board meetings in 2023, for which he got paid $122,861.
He owns 78,938 shares of the company, worth $437,317.

The Economist- Justin Trudeau is beset by a divided party and an angry electorate
Mr Trudeau has to contend with divisions within his own caucus, too. A former adviser, who was involved in developing the carbon tax, believes half of the Liberal cabinet did not support the recent increase. Liberal leaders in Newfoundland and Ontario joined those of Canada’s other provinces in demanding that Mr Trudeau cancel the increase. The levy is scheduled to rise by $15 per tonne annually, until it reaches $170 a tonne in 2030.

“If it keeps moving, regulate it”
Everywhere you turn more compliance, more paperwork to fill out, and a ballooning public sector to administer it.
Look no further than the new ‘Renters Bill of Rights’. A solution in search of a problem, the new bill proposes landlords to disclose a clear history of apartment pricing, a nationwide standard lease agreement, and a requirement for landlords to report tenants rental history to the credit bureaus.
This announcement is so insanely ridiculous it has me scratching my head wondering who is being paid to advise this government on housing policy?
Documenting past rent prices will do nothing to alleviate rent inflation, nor does it give any tenant additonal bargaining power when vacancy rates across all major metros are sub 3%. Are the feds creating a new app to report rents and credit scores?
Perhaps we can call this one ‘RentCan’…

The Food Professor- Food Sales Are Telling Us Canada Is Getting Poorer At An Alarming Rate
The gap in GDP per capita between Canada and the United States has widened by 106% since 2015, and this trend shows no signs of reversing. In other words, despite our growing population, Canada is becoming poorer, not richer.

A mind-blowing read at Sam Cooper’s The Bureau: How I accessed Top Secret intelligence on PRC election interference in Canada
This foggy September morning I was going to see with my own eyes whether disturbing information I was hearing about Chinese efforts to influence Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and fix Canada’s recent federal elections could be substantiated by government documentation.
Confidential Source 3, a senior Canadian intelligence officer with broad access to high-level information from CSIS and the Privy Council Office arrived on their cycle and pulled a clear plastic bag from a waste pouch.
Inside I could see a wad of documents and BIC mini-lighter.
Confidential Source 3 explained they could face serious legal consequences for showing classified records to me.
“Special Rapporteur” David Johnston receives mention at the end. Read it all.

The Libranos: Comfy Fur For All
National Post: Minister Dominic LeBlanc unveiled a suite of changes to the Elections Act on Wednesday, including expanded days for advance voting and an easier process for mail-in ballots, but it would also move the current proposed fixed election day from Oct. 20 to Oct. 27, 2025. […] The one-week delay has a significant impact on MP pensions, however.
The one-week delay is described as benefiting “primarily Conservatives” – who are on track for re-election so that’s moot. It’s primarily the defeated Liberals and NDP” who will leave with their cheques in hand.
