Canadians are entitled to know with certainty that their elected representatives in Parliament are there because of public support, rather than due to Liberal – Chinese manipulation and financing. A public inquiry must be held.
Former GG Johnston’s Close Relationship with China
Much recent commentary about Johnston’s selection by Trudeau as a
special rapporteur to review Chinese interference in Canadian elections,
has dealt with Johnston’s close relationship with Prime Minister
Trudeau. Little mention has been made of Johnston’s close personal
relationship, over many years, with communist China.
In 1980 Johnston prepared the ground work for the Canada – China
University exchange program. The Liberal government subsequently was
obliged to set strict guidelines for this program because of the theft
of Canadian technology by exchange students. Despite these guidelines,
Canadian universities and also Canadian corporations are continuing to
work with Chinese graduate students and Chinese experts to develop
intelligence technology, useful for China. Understandably, Canada was
excluded in March 2023 from the military pact involving Australia, the
UK and the US (referred to as AUKUS). This pact has excluded Canada
because of uncertainty caused by its close association with China.
