Spychief - Canadian Politics Compromised by Foreign Power - China Prime Suspect

For those naive souls who think New Zealand's Free Trade Agreement with the People's Republic of China, is somehow a good thing, I suggest you read the following report.

Beijing aggressively buys and compromises politicians in any country in which it gains the smallest toehold.

If the Butchers of Beijing can compromise Canadian provincial governments, how long until they can buy or dictate New Zealand government policy?

Do we want these socialist/fascists compromising New Zealand's national sovereignty?

Richard Fadden

Ottawa’s spymaster, Richard Fadden, director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, risked his career by declaring in an interview with state-run television that cabinet ministers in two provinces and municipal politicians in British Columbia are “under the control of foreign governments.” Fadden did not specify the two provincial governments. However, B.C. and Alberta, Canada’s two westernmost provinces, have aggressively pursued trade relations with the People's Republic of China. In his comments to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Fadden stated:

These politicians haven’t hidden their ties to foreign governments, and recently they’ve been shifting their policy decisions to reflect those relationships. I have discussed this with Canada’s Privy Council, how best to tell those provincial governments, that they may have been comprised. There is no evidence that any federal politicians have been infiltrated.

A number of countries take the view that if they can develop influence with people relatively early in their careers they’ll follow them through. Before you know it, a country’s providing them with money, some sort of covert guidance.

Fadden declined to name the elected officials or hostile countries involved, but when probed further whether the People’s Republic of China was complicit, the CSIS director acknowledged that recent media reports on the PRC’s economic espionage in Canada were not “entirely incorrect.” The CBC report added that “at least five countries, including China and Middle Eastern countries, are recruiting political prospects in universities.”
