In many ways, Trudeau had already fallen from grace
For me Trudeau’s duel with the ‘deep state’ is far less interesting or significant or ominous than that his handling of the trucker protest doesn’t warrant a mention.
A point I was going to make myself. Add to that the freezing of protestors’ personal bank accounts. This is the worst Canadian prime minister of my life.

So is this writer telling us, that what he has termed, “The Deepstate” is angling to get Freeland into power? She is, after all, a WEF boardmember with deep family connections to mid-twentieth century German politicians, making her perfect for the position.

As an old school Canadian leftist I will be extremely happy to see Justin Trudeau go. The Prime Minister who throws the words misogynistic and racist at all opponents yet his treatment of Jody Wilson Raybould and others in his caucus smacks of misogyny. The PM who yells racism yet he wore blackface multiple times. The PM who talks about freedom yet he used the Emergencies Act against the Truck Convoy, and the Trudeau Foundation has received huge donations from individuals with ties to the Chinese Communist Party.
I can look back on former Prime Ministers such as Jean Chretien, Brian Mulroney and Pierre Elliot Trudeau and find decisions/policies I agree and disagree with. With Justin Trudeau I find nothing I agree with including the recent government policy allowing legal cocaine to be sold (without telling other levels of government). Be gone to Tofino Justin!
No, Tofino and its residents are much, much too lovely. Cuba is nice this time of year.

Hilarious headline in the National Post this week: a Quebec judge ruled that using the middle finger is constitutionally protected. Well, you can imagine just how ready Canadians are to demonstrate this protected right and aim it squarely at their Prime Minister!
It was actually great to see a judge not buckle under to the idea that being mean, or rude is somehow the states business. He apparently blasted the Crown for even bringing the case forward.

I’m not that informed about Canadian politics, but welcome a story that draws attention to CCP meddling in the affairs of western countries.
I very much doubt Trudeau is the only Western Leader who’s ignored Intelligence service warnings, or actually encouraged CCP ownership and infiltration all over our economic, technological and educational landscape over the last decade. .
At least now we are awakening.

The problem in Canada, as in the US, is that electoral outcomes are determined too much by spending power. That makes it inevitable that there will be interference by bad actors. If it wasn’t the Chinese it would be Sor0s, F1nk etc.
Chinese interference in Canada (as elsewhere) goes well beyond spending money in elections. Understand that Canada has eye-watering levels of immigration and much of it comes from mainland China. There are massive Chinese communities in Canada who remain connected socially and culturally to China. Many of those connections – like Chinese media – are heavily influenced if not controlled by the Chinese government. This gives them the power to create their own narratives around Canadian politics and encourage Chinese Canadians to vote as a block for candidates of their choosing. English speaking Canadians (many living in suburbs) have no idea because they are not immersed in it – but the Chinese community is acutely aware. I live in the downtown Toronto riding where Han Dong was a candidate. When i went to vote, there were large numbers of Chinese people in line who could not speak English – chances are that everything they knew about the election was mediated by Chinese controlled media. And that part of it isn’t even illegal.
Though it should be pointed out that the Canadian Chinese community is quite diverse.
Some families have been here for 100 years or more. Families from places like Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan tend to be very anti Chinese Communist Party including friends and a soon to be family member.
This is an important point. Many Chinese Canadians are fully integrated in and part of mainstream Canada. It is the influx of Chinese from Mainland China who are the problem.
In Vancouver Chinese Canadians were protesting the draconian measures Mainland China were imposing on Hong Kong. The counter protesters were waving Chinese flags and screaming at the protestors in Chinese. A truly disturbing sight. Which could not have occured in China or Hong Kong.
We must protect our country from those who would destroy it.

Third parties have been interfering in Canadian elections long before the CCP. Usually they are American. Once a donation is made to a Canadian Nonprofit or charity, the money becomes Canadian. So American (or other) interested parties, such as the Tides Foundation, or the Sierra Club, etc donate to Canadian Nonprofit/lobby groups and impact not only elections by throwing their support ($) behind `friendly’ candidates, but impact government policies as well. It is one of the reasons Canadian oil sits in the ground while we import oil.

Trudeau became prime minister in 2015 in a popularity contest and because the country wanted a change. Whether or not the Chinese or anyone else meddled in the 2019 Canadian general election, it would have made little difference to the outcome. Canadians, who over the years have elected governments from both the Liberal and Conservative ranks, really had no Conservative leader to select as a prime minister due to very weak and un-charismatic leaders during the Trudeau years. Finally the Conservatives have a leader in Pierre Poilievre who looks like the real deal, and would likely win the next election purley on merit alone. It would be a pity for him if his victory is seen solely as a reaction against Trudeau and his governments woke policies and alleged corruption.

Trudeau’s Liberals are trying desperately to bury this story, but #TrudeauChineseAsset has been trending for 2 weeks now. The Liberal party gives the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) $1.2 billion a year, so it’s basically just woke state media now, they barely criticize JT, and Canadians can’t trust it. They are also highly apathetic about politics, but citizens, the media, and politicians alike are afraid to touch the subject because Trudeau has called inquiries into the topic “racist” – which is insulting to people’s intelligence, but basically a trigger word for ‘go the other way, you won’t win this one.’

I am a Canadian who utterly loathes Justin Trudeau. However I am really disheartened that CSIS has decided to meddle in politics. It just takes us one step closer to the US with their out of control partisan FBI – which is sowing deep distrust in the political system and could end up tearing the country apart. One of CSIS’s great strengths was that we never heard about them or from them. I don’t care how much they think Trudeau is harming Canada – they have to respect our political system.
I don’t think ‘CSIS has decided” is an accurate characterization. Individuals within the organization saw the corrupt decision to turn a blind eye to foreign interference (as long as it benefitted the government). They rightly took offence and decided they could not remain silent. The fact that moral individuals feel compelled to speak out is not something to lament. Without people like that then there’s no limit to the damage that immoral leaders can do.

When the people of Canada turn into crooks, cheats, and just general all-around scum, they don’t mind electing leaders who embody all those qualities.
That’s a pretty wide swath…….some of us are suffering under the regime. Justin is propped up by an equally slimy NDP Grifter. Sadly Ontario, Liberal HQ, determines our fate in elections. We aren’t all scum.

The Trudeaus have been the worst Prime Ministers in Canada’s exixtance. Both have an unhealthy fascination with dictators, Trudeau Snr with Castro, and Trudeau Jr (or lite) with Castro and China. He even said that he admired China’s basic dictatorship, and his speech when Castro died was an insult to anyone who fled his regime. The Trudeaus are the only Prime Ministers who have invoked the War Measures Act/ Public Order (Temporary Measures) Act, (replaced by The Emergencies Act) in peace time.
And yet the GTA keeps voting this trust fund, groping, part time drama teacher, want to be dictator and his minions into power

The Trudeaus are the only Prime Ministers who have invoked the War Measures Act/ Public Order (Temporary Measures) Act, (replaced by The Emergencies Act) in peace time.
