We now have an extremely liberal radical Government of California that intends to target oil companies and hold them responsible for all the worlds ills. A socially misfit transportation do-nothing czar for Biden declared oil bad. And meanwhile in Canada after all these fires I found out from friends in Ontario that a town that took it upon themselves to clear cut a fire break to prevent themselves from having their property destroyed and personal risks are being fined by the Canadian Government, as yet I only have anecdotal proof. China is in the same state as post WWI Germany the parallel being in comparison their need for land. Our protected forests may be the land they have their eyes on and fires that should have been anticipated by the very people who rally believe in climate change, did nothing to save the forests. The Sierra Clubs Wild Forests protests have only created perfect firestorms, no clear cuts, no fire breaks even fewer roads, no selective cutting, no controlled fires fires under 1400 degrees F and remain less than a meter over the ground. Who would want such land after its been incinerated to a crisp?

There is much to admire and respect in the Chinese people, but the whole Trudeau family have had a much too cozy relationship with the People&#8217;s Republic of China, to the detriment of Canadian interests. Peter Schweitzer&#8217;s book, &#8220;Red-handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win&#8221; provides a useful survey on this in its seventh chapter. In 1989, CSIS destroyed a Cold War file on Pierre Trudeau, which might have contained important revelations about his kowtowing to the Communist Chinese, but what we do know is quite nauseating. After leaving office, Pierre Trudeau enriched himself as a lawyer and a consultant based on his cozy relations with the People&#8217;s Republic of China, and it seems probable that his son plans a similar future for himself whenever he leaves office. Justin&#8217;s younger brother Alexandre shares his brother&#8217;s reverence for the Chinese totalitarian dictatorship, and has benefited from Chinese largesse, notably in the contract given him for his first book, a travelogue on China called &#8220;Barbarian Lost: Travels in the New China.&#8221;<br \/>\nSchweizer mentions a $200,000 donation by CCP member Zhang Bin to the Trudeau Foundation, but not a $50,000 donation that he made to erecting a statue of Pierre Trudeau. Fran\u00e7ois-Philippe Champagne, formerly Trudeau&#8217;s Minister of Foreign Affairs, now his Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, has been compromised by the PRC. He borrowed $1 million from the Bank of China to buy two apartments in London, England.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"reply_form\"><span class=\"reply_link\"><b>Reply-&gt;<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment_separator\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"comment_216970\" class=\"comment_item\">\n<div><b>Percy Bauri<\/b>&nbsp;\u2022&nbsp;Sep 17, 2023 at 11:57<\/div>\n<div class=\"dont-break-out\">\n<p>&#8212; This article is an eye opener for the money laundering by CCP Chinese, that it is taking in Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Calgary etc, for housing and thus housing has become totally out of reach of the average working class Canadians.<br \/>\n&#8212; Interference thru Liberals \/ Justin Trudeau and previously thru his father Pierre Trudeau has totally made Canada into a Socialist Country.<br \/>\n&#8212; Interference in the Canadian election since Pierre Trudeau has been inching along and now it is openly seen in the all walks of life at all Governmental levels in every major Cities of Canada.<br \/>\n&#8212; In the last two (2) Federal elections Justin Trudeau went to the rich Chinese homes in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal etc. for fundraising.<br \/>\n&#8212; Chinese corruption is on a rise exponentially.<br \/>\n&#8212; CCP, Chinese are totally taking over Canadian Universities<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"reply_form\"><span class=\"reply_link\"><b>Reply-&gt;<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<hr style=\"height: 15px; background: #d0e6fa; width: 100%;\">\n<div id=\"content\" class=\"content-alignment\">\n<div id=\"watch-description\" class=\"yt-uix-button-panel\">\n<div id=\"watch-description-text\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><em>Zawarto\u015b\u0107 publikowanych artyku\u0142\u00f3w i materia\u0142\u00f3w nie reprezentuje pogl\u0105d\u00f3w ani opinii Reunion&#8217;68,<\/em><em><br \/>\nani te\u017c webmastera Blogu Reunion&#8217;68, chyba ze jest to wyra\u017anie zaznaczone.<br \/>\nTwoje uwagi, linki, w\u0142asne artyku\u0142y lub wiadomo\u015bci prze\u015blij na adres:<br \/>\n<\/em><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong><em><a style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"mailto:webmaster@reunion68.com\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">webmaster@reunion68.com<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr style=\"width: 100%;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>China&#8217;s &#8216;CEO Whisperers&#8217;: Chinese Communist Party Takes Over Canada Robert Williams &#8220;I was pretty dismayed at the extent of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) influence in the federal Parliament.
