BC has always had bizarre politics and politicians. I remember Clark in his Salmon war with Alaska, encouraging fishermen to scoop everything in the mouth of the Fraser. Idiot, that little war wiped out schools of sockeye that year. I fished the Fraser that year, and it was the run season. There were very few Salmon coming up the river.

And yet, despite the fact that (CRA as an example) it take a person at LEAST 1 hour if not more to get anyone with any answers on a phone! So why hire more people if the service isn't going to improve?
Allowing people to work from home at the CRA has been terrible.

You cannot get transferred if you need something, you can't get them to ask for approval for anything from a manager, and despite the fact they give you a number for the call at the start they often won't repeat it if you ask them to.

So good luck calling their boss to ask for resolution.

Federal unit uncovers ’malicious’ effort tied to China aimed at Chrystia Freeland

OTTAWA — A federal unit that tracks suspected foreign interference has uncovered a “co-ordinated and malicious” effort — possibly launched by China — against Liberal leadership candidate Chrystia Freeland.


Rapid Response Mechanism Canada, based at Global Affairs Canada, is monitoring cyberspace for signs of state-sponsored information manipulation on behalf of the Security and Intelligence Threats to Elections Task Force.

The government recently announced the task force, which is usually active during election campaigns, would operate during the Liberal leadership contest.

In a statement, the task force says the information operation directed at Freeland was traced to WeChat’s most popular news account — an anonymous blog that has been previously linked to the Chinese government.

The task force says RRM Canada identified more than 30 WeChat news accounts taking part in the campaign, which received “very high levels of engagement and views.”


WeChat news articles disparaging Freeland netted more than 140,000 interactions between Jan. 29 and Feb. 3, and RRM Canada estimates that two to three million WeChat users saw the campaign globally.

On Friday, the task force briefed the Liberal party executive and members of Freeland’s leadership campaign about the findings, the statement said.

In a post on X, Freeland says she “will not be intimidated” by Chinese foreign interference.

“Having spent years confronting authoritarian regimes, I know firsthand the importance of defending our freedoms,” Freeland said. “Canada’s democracy is strong. My thanks to our national security agencies for protecting it.”

Task force members will continue to monitor the online environment for foreign, state-backed information operations during the leadership campaign, the statement added.

CCP interference in a Canadian federal election process? I thought we just had the summary of this great big white wash that said it made no difference in the end, regardless of interference or not from China…or something like that.

Why would China want to slander the only half assed contender against Justin Trudeau‘s pick to be crowned without an election involving non-liberal party adult Canadian citizens? Mark Carney‘s coronation used to take place in another 29 days…
