Blacklock’s- Predict Middle Class Doomed

Canadians should expect to become poorer over the next five years, says a Privy Council report. The forecast was drawn from interviews with “experts across the Government of Canada” who said economic outlooks for families were so stark they predicted a national mental health crisis. “Downward social mobility is the norm,” said the report Disruptions On The Horizon. Collapse of the middle class was rated among the “top 10 most likely disruptions” over the next three to five years. Another likely event was “people cannot afford to live on their own,” it said.

According to The Bureau’s analysis of prior CSIS reporting, comments by Chiang—a former police officer in the Markham area—reflect a longstanding pattern of election interference by the People’s Republic of China in Canada, including the use of Chinese-language media in Toronto, operating under consular influence, to amplify pro-Beijing narratives and promote candidates perceived as sympathetic to the Chinese Communist Party.

Former Conservative leader Erin O’Toole suggested Saturday that the riding of Markham–Unionville, where Paul Chiang unseated incumbent Conservative Bob Saroya in 2021, was among several successfully targeted by Beijing’s interference operations—part of what he says weakened key Conservative campaigns and ultimately contributed to his resignation as party leader.

Chiang, the sitting Member of Parliament and a candidate for re-election, was quoted in Ming Pao suggesting individuals could “claim the one-million-dollar bounty” placed by Hong Kong authorities on Conservative candidate Joe Tay—by bringing Tay to the Chinese consulate in Toronto. According to reporting, Chiang also remarked that Tay’s criminal charge under Hong Kong’s national security law would cause a “great controversy” if Tay were elected to Parliament, before issuing his bounty comment to laughter among the gathered Chinese journalists.

Chiang issued a brief apology after the remarks surfaced on Thursday. But the backlash has only intensified, with Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre accusing Chiang of echoing Chinese Communist Party repression—and Mark Carney of turning a blind eye.

“Liberal MP and candidate Paul Chiang’s heinous call to turn over a Canadian citizen to the authoritarian regime in Beijing in return for a Chinese Communist Party bounty is no accident—it reflects the Liberals’ long-standing mockery and neglect of national security for their own partisan gain,” Poilievre said Saturday.

“Carney is weak and compromised by money his company owes Beijing. His silence on these deplorable comments says it all. Carney must fire Paul Chiang as a candidate.”

Veteran democracy activist Cheuk Kwan, co-chair of the Toronto Association for Democracy in China, surfaced Chiang’s remarks Friday and called for the MP to resign.

“This is shocking. Mr. Chiang openly encouraged people to assist in China interference and transnational repression,” Kwan said. “Rather than protecting Canadians, he betrayed them and jeopardized their safety.”

Kwan noted that the bounty on Tay was issued by the Hong Kong Police Force under its new national security laws, because Tay runs a YouTube channel in Canada that is critical of governance imposed from Beijing.

I’m old enough to remember the Chinese police station story that quietly died away.

Lilley: Carney is, for far, standing by Chiang’s call to hand over a Canadian citizen to China.

Once again, the Hamas-supporting mob will take to the streets of Toronto to explicitly deny Israel’s right to exist — the textbook definition of antisemitism.

Sights like these are no longer uncommon because Canada’s Liberal government has refused to stand against even the most vile behaviour happening in plain sight — in fact they’ve encouraged it with your tax dollars.

Our Canadian values are under attack right before our eyes – pretending not to see it is simply shameful.

Globe and Mail;

Early in his time as Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau met with Paul King Jin, a British Columbia businessman who would go on to become a central figure in the province’s money-laundering inquiry.
The existence of the meeting was confirmed by three sources with knowledge of the encounter.

Mr. Trudeau met Mr. Jin, who was among about a dozen people, in a conference room at the Executive Inn Express Richmond, a now-closed hotel near the Vancouver airport, one of the sources said.

Evidence of the meeting emerged amid the RCMP’s years-long efforts to investigate Mr. Jin for money laundering. He was a target of two police probes, one of them launched in 2015, and a second in 2017, which was among the biggest of its kind in modern Canadian history. It is not known precisely when the meeting took place, but it was during the year-and-a-half-period after Mr. Trudeau took office in November, 2015, and early 2017, the sources said.

Alongside Mr. Jin, who moved to Canada from China in 1989, was Rongxiang “Tiger” Yuan, a Chinese army veteran, one of the sources said. Mr. Yuan has had close ties to the Chinese government and has been photographed at social events with Chinese diplomats.

From the comments – “May as well start a file on carney now so you can release it in 2035.”

Ross McKitrick, economist, U of Guelf: “Unlike when talking about Brookfield or semiconductors, here [Carney] is very precise in his wording so later he can insist that he never promised pipelines.”
