Well maybe the laws you live under won't be increasingly bought and paid for by the Chinese Communist Party? Or we can just run and hide.

Do you have a link to this oath for CSIS officers? If this is the oath, they are still acting in allegiance to King Charles. Their allegiance isn't to MP's who are acting in concert with foreign adversaries and breaking their own oaths. And if the PM is acting on their own interests and the interests of a foreign country, the PM is acting contrary to their oath of allegiance to King Charles. The job of CSIS is to protect the national security of the country. If they have to break the law in order to protect the country from severe and fundamental national security threats, you do it, in the most minimally harmful way possible. How much are the Chinese or Russians paying you?

Name an example.

That's wrong, they are still subject to it because it was ratified by enough of the other provinces. You don't need unanimous consent by all the provinces to ratify a constitutional amendment, just like 100% of MP's don't need to vote for a law for it to pass.

Oh no!!!!

That's for provincial politicians making an oath to the Canadian crown before serving in the legislature. Someone will likely challenge the law Quebec made as unconstitutional, which it is and Quebec will lose.

Well at least I now know whose bottom you lick.

Not really any different. They were all arrogant and corrupt pieces of crap. Whattaboutism isn't a justification.

You don't need to read the articles, just look at the covers of those newspapers, I used these links to show the photos.

Virtually any Chinese-Canadian with loved ones still in China can be intimidated and blackmailed whether they like it or not. It's a major national security concern. This is a fact and its unfortunate, but a fact that isn't politically correct doesn't make it less true. I have no idea how they should deal with this problem. We need to be fair to people and do our best not to racially stereotype, but also recognize risks where they exist. That's a tough line to straddle.

Geez why so defensive? LOL you think the Postmedia papers would allow NDP and Liberal ads filling THE ENTIRE FRONT PAGE of all heir newspapers nationwide 2 days before an election? Well show me the proof because its never happened. Any major newspaper running a partisan ad on its entire front page 2 days before an election is a pile of garbage not even worthy to line a litter box. Now stroll over to Nationalpost.com and look at all the right-leaning articles and CPC apologists. CBC News is almost bad towards their Liberal Party chums, they just hide it better because they're a public broadcaster. National Post and CBC News are propaganda rags, as is the Toronto Star. News outlets feigning being " legit journalism" that have a political agenda can suck it.

The National Post and Postmedia papers are rags. They're propaganda outlets for the Conservative Party of Canada. And here's the proof. This was 2 days before the 2015 federal election on the cover of all Postmedia newspapers countrywide: https://www.huffpost.com/archive/ca/entry/postmedia-sun-front-pages-replaced-with-full-page-political-ads_n_8326634

I'd suggest maybe reminding young people of why this is a wonderful country, teach them more about Canadian history in school (instead of just the bad stuff they hear about from activists on twitter) so we have more of a connection to this country and remind them of the reasons why this is a country worth defending. The Liberals have been doing the opposite since at least Pearson, and the Liberal Parties and NDP in the provinces are no better. They're ashamed of Canada and its history. The self-hating losers in this country have raised generations of more self-hating losers. Its a disease. If Canada didn't have a lot going for it people across the world wouldn't be jumping over each other trying to come here. Roxham Rd seems a lot better than home for many people.

What is the primary problem then causing all this? People in general are just entitled self-serving a-holes?

That's great, they deserve to live in a country with a government that isn't like or friendly to the terrible regime their grandparents fled, and have a right to not have Chinese government police stations throughout Canada able to intimidate them into compliance with the CCP agenda because they threaten relatives back home etc. IMO As long as Canadians are loyal to this country and follow the law it doesn't matter where they come from or what they look like. Justin Trudeau is white and was born here and he doesn't seem like a very good Canadian, he uses the country and its citizens to further his own self-interests (which seems to largely revolve around an addiction to getting attention to pad his own narcissistic ego). A real hero and patriot that guy. Getting into politics for ego and power instead of bettering your country is an interesting choice and seems pretty common. You don't have to vote conservative and don't owe their supporters anything.

Yup. But Harper increasingly did a lot of bad things. He needed to be removed. Being PM turns people into dictators apparently. Far too much power in the hands of one person. The Americans had the right idea with separation of powers.

It could mean everything to a lot of people. But nobody owes anything to anyone around here, you do you. You have a good heart, which is more than I can say for any of the folks in Parliament who have any sort of power. If you have kids or grandkids, do it for them.

Well many do seem to care. Harper was booted out when it was clear he was turning into a dictator proroguing Parliament whenever something didn't go his way Trudeau's Liberals actually lost the popular vote the last 2 elections and has been sitting in minority limbo. The system is flawed and our politicians are almost all corrupt who serve themselves over the country. PP is a slimy rat POS and many of the CPC are wingnut goofballs, but at least his party doesn't suck China's wiener to the extent the Liberals do, which is why China supported the Liberals over the CPC. You know very well that I share all your positions on government transparency and accountability. What I don't understand is your apathy on these China national security issues, you're talking out of both sides of your mouth. Is it just so you can stand on a hill and laugh and say "i told you so"? That's not going to help anything. Our crooked politicians are in bed with many of the monied interests in this country and have been selling us out for decades, and now its coming home to roost like never before. Enough is enough. Look what our politicians and PM did for SNC-Lavalin's sake, so we can just imagine what they do for any other large corporation that can covertly fund a campaign by making a large donation to the Pierre Trudeau Foundation or any infinite ways to conceal these kinds of donations-for-favours. This country needs a leader with some integrity and conviction to clean up Ottawa & the system. But we have Mr. Ethics Violation as PM because some people still have some weird Pierre Trudeau boner. Our Parliament is filled with traitors. Liberals, the Bloc, panda-hugging Conservatives...what a joke.

Well i'm also convinced some foreign nations mean us harm to gain advantage and power over us for their own benefit, and there's countless examples of the Chinese government and businesses doing that for decades. If Canadian elected officials are complicit in allowing it to happen, especially because it benefits their own selfish interests and power over the interests of the country and its citizens, then they are also essentially our enemies and a national security threat. We either allow this to continue or we don't. If you're not concerned about this then you really don't care about your country, yourself, or your fellow citizens, its that simple. Frankly you sound like a Liberal in your apathy of all this, but for very different reasons. You sound like a very nice person, but at some point you need to stand up for yourself, so please take this as constructive criticism. If your bleeding heart is too weak and guilt-ridden to stand up for yourself, your country, and your fellow Canadians against a foreign threat then please get out of the way and let everyone else do what needs to be done. There's no room for the eyeballs and hardner's in times of war when the tough decisions need to made. People like Churchill and FDR and Reagan didn't roll over for our dictator enemies and take it up the rump. You don't appease a bully, if you give an inch they'll take it. The truth is we need the eyeballs and every last Canadian in this fight, so let's go man!

For human rights abuse reasons or national security reasons?

They want to control as much as possible. Maybe anti-Beijing content won't be "Canadian" enough lol

At least in the post-cold war era I don't remember enemies of the country infiltrating our governments and the highest levels being complicit for their own electoral gains. The country itself demands we get worked up about this. This is one of the most important stories in modern Canadian history. This is the JWR scandal x1000. The implications are devastating and I doubt we've hardly scratched the surface on the scope of covert Chinese ops in our country.

Not me, I'm voting for my local Liberal MP so that Beijing can control me and my country.

Looks like maybe the cookie is starting to crumble already: Liberal MP and former Foreign Affairs minister Marc Garneau is resigning his seat. Why? Why now? I could speculate he sees the sh*t hitting the fan and wants to avoid splashback. https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/liberal-mp-marc-garneau-resigning-his-seat
