Trudeau will never talk about the real foreign meddling in Canadian politics, by Rachel Marsden, a columnist, political strategist and host of independently produced talk-shows in French and English, for RT. 10.19.2024.
The prime minister sees interference from abroad everywhere, except right under his own nose – or rather, at his back.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sees foreign interference everywhere, even where Canadian officials say it doesn’t exist. But he can’t for the life of him find the systemic foreign meddling that’s right under his nose, and of personal and political benefit.
During seemingly endless Canadian parliamentary foreign interference inquiries that started in September 2023, Trudeau has just testified (in French) that Russia is everywhere, accusing Moscow of “amplifying” Canada’s problems, like when a bunch of honking Freedom Convoy truckers descended on Ottawa to demand equal treatment for all Canadians regardless of Covid jab status.
Like it was Russia that blocked protesters’ bank accounts at the behest of Team Trudeau, in a move that went globally viral because it confirmed people’s worst fears about a dystopian slide into authoritarianism and social credit-style mass control. Go against the establishment and just try to even survive without access to your own money.
Trudeau was specifically shown and asked about RT headlines criticizing his government’s actions around the Convoy, generally shrugging them off as propaganda and disinformation, even though it turns out that they were really just prescient. Because in January 2024, even the Canadian Federal Court ruled that Team Trudeau’s invocation of the Emergencies Act, which is normally reserved for incidents like war and terrorism, and the extraordinary measures taken under it, banking and otherwise, violated the constitutional rights of Canadians. So, is Canadian Federal Court Justice Richard Mosley a Kremlin agent, too?
As for any evidence that the Freedom Convoy was foreign funded? Nonsense, said Canada’s intelligence services at a formal inquiry in 2022.
Trudeau then suggested that RT sowed Covid jab “antivax” disinformation, which is really just another way of saying that the outlet didn’t participate in the kind of overt censorship and narrative control that prevented an open and democratic discussion and debate in the spirit of scientific inquiry related to a novel vaccine and virus, the impact and effects of which were constantly shifting along with government mandates and directives.
I personally contributed a piece to RT during the Covid fiasco in August 2021 about how, as an un-jabbed Canadian citizen arriving in Canada from Paris with a French lab blood test certificate quantifying natural antibodies and immunity from Covid as a result of infection, border officials offered me the choice of either spending days locked in a federal facility for the un-jabbed returning to Canada, or else getting straight back on a plane to France.
I chose the latter. And now it’s widely accepted that natural immunity ultimately is what has reduced Covid to an epiphenomenon around the world. Finally, the rest of the world, including Trudeau’s own health authorities, have caught up to getting on board with the kind of “disinformation” that RT was leading the way in platforming, all while Western governments were demanding censorship of debate across social media platforms. The Canadian military was also caught deploying military-grade information warfare during Covid, using techniques honed on the battlefield in Afghanistan, in support of the government’s narrative, as the Ottawa Citizen reported in September 2021.
“Immunity acquired from a Covid infection provides strong, lasting protection against the most severe outcomes of the illness,” NBC News reported in 2023, citing research published in The Lancet. Oh no, looks like the prestigious Lancet medical journal and NBC News have both fallen to Russia now, too.
Trudeau claimed at the foreign interference hearing that RT was financing “very well-known names” on the right, “like Jordan Peterson or Tucker Carlson, to amply messages that destabilize democracy.” Because literally everyone who disagrees with Western propaganda is a Russian agent now, apparently. Got any actual receipts for your claims against former Fox News host Carlson and globally renowned Canadian clinical psychologist Peterson, champ? Because I smell a potential lawsuit or two.
Trudeau has been playing similarly fast and loose with the “evidence” of Indian “foreign interference” lately, too. He explicitly accused Indian diplomats, including the Indian high commissioner in Canada, of being involved in homicide and extortion of “Canadians” and violating Canadian sovereignty. More like Justin violated Canada’s sovereignty by importing every global conflict imaginable into Canada by turning it into a flophouse. And now that fights are breaking out between all these “Canadians,” it’s time to find a scapegoat.
No actual names were given of the targeted “Canadians” or suspects during a police press conference this week, but Hardeep Singh Nijjar was gunned down near Vancouver last year. That particular “Canadian” had come into Canada fraudulently and eventually scored refugee status by whining about being persecuted in India, which literally considered him a terrorist looking to carve up India to create a state just for Kalastani Sikhs. Yet the Canadian government went, “Poor guy, come on in, bud! And please bring all your issues with you. Because diversity is our strength!”
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police confirmed that the targets are Kalistani “Canadians.” Sikh separatists are considered a terrorist group in India, although who’s to say that non-Khalistanis can’t get caught in the crossfire, as seems to be the case with the increasing amount of gangland-style gun play taking place.
These “Canadians” have been routinely rallied by an American Khalistani group to hold referendums in favor of an independent Khalistani state from Canada. We’re talking about the same kind of separatism that Trudeau explicitly denounces when practiced by francophone separatists in Quebec. His father, former prime minister Pierre Trudeau, even declared martial law amid separatist violence, kidnapping and murder in Quebec back in 1970.
So just imagine if New Delhi had given Quebec separatists refuge and allowed them to hold referendums from India on carving up Canada like Team Trudeau is doing now with Khalistanis while blaming Indian officials for the fact that they’re being picked off rather than blaming himself and his predecessors for the fact that they’re even in Canada in the first place.
Canadian police claim to have cases of Indian diplomats hiring criminals to shoot these Khalistani “Canadians,” but can’t actually cite any actual names or specifics.
Much more glaring, however, is Trudeau sitting there at a foreign interference inquiry while the guy literally propping up his minority government, left-wing New Democratic Party leader, Jagmeet Singh, is a vocal pro-Khalistani advocate himself, who just announced that he wants to put forward “severe sanctions” on Indian diplomats, adding that Narendra Modi’s government “has to be held to account.” Big mystery where the foreign interference is when Trudeau’s political career is done the moment this guy pulls his support.
Meanwhile, a Sikh separatist activist from a group in the US helping to organize the Kalistani independence referendums in Canada, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, has told Canadian state media about his access to Trudeau’s office, saying that he told them who to go after in Canada on India’s side. And now he’s tweeting that his US-based group, Sikhs for Justice, is offering a “budget” – which is a nice way of saying “bounty” – of $500,000 to track down the expelled Indian high commissioner. He also said they want Canada to investigate a Canadian MP, Chandra Arya, who was born in India, and whom he calls Modi’s mouthpeace, probably because he’s routinely condemning Khalistani extremism. The guys with whom Trudeau is overtly siding against the Indian government are literally offering bounties, yet Trudeau needs a whole endless dog-and-pony show to find the foreign interference in Canada.
Canadian politicians pandering to ethnic blocs for votes and their own political self-interest isn’t the kind of foreign meddling they’re looking for, I guess. Kind of like what they all do with the influential Ukrainian expat lobby in Canada – the point of greenlighting their suggestion that a World War II-era Nazi, Yaroslav Hunka, be celebrated in the Canadian parliament during Zelensky’s visit.
Team Trudeau had to backtrack upon realizing that smoking Russians back in the day put this guy on the same side as Hitler. But the policies pandering to the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada for votes and damaging Russia-Canada relations remain. And now it looks like Team Trudeau’s pandering to Indian separatists for personal and political gain is tanking Canada’s relations with India, too.
But by all means, Justin, please show us, with your whopping 30% popularity, exactly where on the map Jordan Peterson, Tucker Carlson, India, Russia, Freedom Convoy truckers, antivaxxers, and RT touched Canada.
