Oh boy!!Hmmmm….CSIS found Qiu has several positions as a visiting professor with Chinese institutions, but would leave those positions off her CV when applying for jobs within Canada. It found in interviews about all of this Qiu repeatedly lied even as she was given every opportunity to come clean.
Hmmmm….CSIS was also critical of Cheng, finding that he must have been aware of his wife’s subterfuge and found that he had also likely applied to one of the Chinese government’s talent programs. They found he too lied during interviews with CSIS.
Hmmmm…. Because of openness and transparency, because it’s 2015-ish!!!
CSIS discovered Qiu had applied for and likely received a position under China’s Thousand Talents Program, a government sponsored program to recruit Chinese experts, which also allows them to keep jobs in Western countries.
Qiu’s position came through the Wuhan Institute of Virology and CSIS determined that the Thousand Talents Program offers researchers up to $1 million in research subsidies and better access to visas and Chinese health care.
The Canadian Security Intelligence Service determined that one of two scientists fired from Canada’s most secure microbiology lab worked closely and covertly with Chinese government labs and collaborated with “institutions whose goals have potentially lethal military applications.”
Whoopsies!!
On Wednesday, the government released hundreds of pages related to the firing of Xiangguo Qiu and her husband Keding Cheng from the national microbiology lab in Winnipeg. The pair were escorted out of the lab in 2019 and fired in 2021.
The hundreds of pages of documents include CSIS assessments created after the pair were marched out of the labs. The spy agency recommended the Public Health Agency of Canada revoke the security clearances of both scientists.

Liberal and NDP MPs joined forces Monday to block a parliamentary investigation into the massive security breach at Canada’s high-security infectious-disease laboratory in Winnipeg??? Really?? Again?
Conservative foreign affairs critic Michael Chong had moved a motion to investigate how Xiangguo Qiu and her husband, Keding Cheng, were able to pass confidential information to China even after security concerns were raised about the couple’s activities.
“The People’s Republic of China and its entities infiltrated Canada’s top microbiology lab, a national-security breach representing a very serious and credible threat to Canada,” Mr. Chong said, noting the Liberal government had fought for years to stop the opposition parties from finding out why the two scientists were fired and whether there were serious security breaches at the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg.

“The government defied four orders of the House of Commons and its committee for these documents,” Mr. Chong told the House of Commons Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics. “After three long years, we finally have gotten access to the documents and we need to continue this examination in order to hold the government accountable.”
But Liberal Iqra Khalid moved an immediate motion to adjourn the committee hearings, effectively killing the proposed parliamentary investigation. She was supported by her Liberal colleagues and NDP MP Matthew Green to shut down an investigation.
Mr. Green later said that the NDP are not against holding a parliamentary inquiry into the security breaches…but???
“New Democrats believe the study on the security breach at Canada’s high security infectious disease laboratory in Winnipeg should happen at the Canada-China Committee, that’s the appropriate committee to investigate this mess,” he said in a statement. “New Democrats will continue the necessary work for accountability and transparency in this file.” ??? What???

How is it that the government can simply ignore the requests from Parliament? How can this stand? Parliament represents the people of Canada & is the government not supposed to answer to us? Are there any repercussions to what they're doing other than at the voting booth?Liberal and NDP MPs joined forces Monday to block a parliamentary investigation into the massive security breach at Canada’s high-security infectious-disease laboratory in Winnipeg???

As Canadians, we obviously need to start watching what is happening in Ottawa because it's become quite corrupt, especially in the past 8 years.
Currently, the Liberals & NDP together have more than 170 seats in Parliament.
If you slide the Orange in with the Red, they can do whatever they want together.
New analysis of samples from Wuhan animal market supports its role as a central site of early spread of Covid-19 — CNN
After an in-depth analysis of the genetic material from hundreds of swabs taken from the walls, floors, machines and drains inside the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan, China — a site that’s been described as an epicenter of early spread of Covid-19 — scientists say they now know exactly...
Completely ignoring the important part. Did the virus get to the market accidentally, or on purpose?The analysis, which was published Thursday in the journal Cell, doesn’t prove that the animals were infected by the virus, but their DNA was found very near the virus, sometimes on the same swab. That means it’s a strong possibility the animals were infected at the market…or not…

So maybe the animals at the market where infected at the market, or maybe they where not.
Or really shitty controls at the laboratory across the street.

The report said the congressional committee learned that the virus had a biological characteristic not found in nature and data showed all COVID cases stemming from a single introduction to humans, the New York Post reported.
“By nearly all measures of science, if there was evidence of a natural origin it would have already surfaced,” the report read.
They also pointed out that China’s SARS research lab is in Wuhan “has a history of conducting gain-of-function research at inadequate biosafety levels,” and that researchers there “were sick with a COVID-like virus in the fall of 2019, months before COVID-19 was discovered at the wet market.”
Reports at the onset of the pandemic linked COVID’s origin to China’s wet markets, which sell meat, fish, produce, and other animals in unsanitary conditions, which turned out to be unadulterated bullshit.
