00:00:00.000 It's something that would have to be based, though, on corroborated evidence.
00:00:04.140 It's important to remember that intelligence is like a piece of puzzle, a piece of a puzzle.
00:00:09.760 The members of the committee are bound to this Security of Information Act for the rest of their lives.
00:00:15.800 Are you prepared to release those names, yes or no?
00:00:19.100 No, Mr. Chair.
00:00:20.340 Canada's National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians last week released a report which stated that several MPs have colluded, wittingly colluded, with hostile foreign nations.
00:00:40.240 One MP even met with a known intelligence officer of a foreign nation and gave that intelligence officer confidential information.
00:00:48.140 Now, there is a not-so-insignificant chance that your MP is actively committing treason as we speak, and you have no way of knowing.
00:00:57.820 The federal government is refusing to release the names of these politicians.
00:01:01.860 They are actively shielding traitors to our country. 0.96
00:01:04.500 And if this answer from Justin Trudeau's public safety minister, when asked if he was going to release the names, is anything to go by,
00:01:11.740 well, it seems as though they don't really care about the fact that they have traitors inside Parliament.
00:01:17.200 People who are alleged, and in some cases according to our intelligence communities,
00:01:23.600 to have committed some of the most serious offences known to Canadian law, are you prepared to release those names, yes or no?
00:01:30.620 No, Mr. Chair.
00:01:32.500 Justin Trudeau knows who these politicians are. He has seen the report.
00:01:36.620 Many of his staff have likely read the report, and politicians from every party that sit on the NSI COP Committee have also seen the names.
00:01:45.640 But no one is releasing them to the public.
00:01:48.380 Now, the two countries that are most heavily involved with Canadian MPs happen to be India and China.
00:01:54.160 Who could have seen that one coming?
00:01:55.840 The federal government won't release these names. We know that.
00:01:58.800 We also know that they are hiding these traitors amongst themselves, protecting them as we speak.
00:02:04.800 But the question we are all left with is why exactly we allow dual citizens to become MPs in the first place. 0.61
00:02:11.160 Why Canada allows foreigners to be elected to federal office. 0.99
00:02:15.420 In 2017, Australia banned foreigners from being elected to federal office, and maybe it's time for Canada to do the same. 0.97
00:02:22.420 Now, before we get into the show, drop a like in the video, help us out by subscribing to the True North YouTube channel.
00:02:26.440 And the common question for the episode is this.
00:02:29.980 Why is Justin Trudeau's government shielding traitors from the public?
00:02:35.360 Let me know your answer in the comments below, and let's get into it.
00:02:38.060 When news broke last week that a National Security Committee of Parliamentarians found that MPs are wittingly colluding with hostile foreign nations,
00:02:46.300 well, the federal liberal government went into overdrive to try to shield and protect the traitors from being named.
00:02:52.280 It's something that would have to be based, though, on corroborated evidence.
00:02:56.560 The members of the committee are bound to this Security of Information Act for the rest of their lives.
00:03:02.520 In some cases, the argument was that the names of the traitors couldn't be released because everyone is afforded due process.
00:03:08.880 In other cases, the argument was that the names can't be released because it might interfere with an ongoing criminal investigation.
00:03:15.820 Now, no one is saying that those who are alleged of committing high treason should not be afforded due process.
00:03:20.120 The argument is that should we allow those who are very likely committing treason as we speak to sit in Parliament,
00:03:28.520 to go to question period today at 2 p.m., to sit on the benches and play a role in Canadian democracy?
00:03:34.940 These alleged traitors are likely sitting on important parliamentary committees.
00:03:39.260 Some of them may be parliamentary secretaries to cabinet ministers.
00:03:42.760 Some of them may, in fact, be cabinet ministers.
00:03:45.360 The important word to remember here is that these MPs are wittingly colluding with foreign hostile nations.
00:03:52.480 China, of course, is an enemy of Canada.
00:03:55.020 Let's just call it what it is.
00:03:56.620 And let's not pretend as though India is some great friend of Canada either. 0.99
00:04:00.560 There are credible allegations that India have roving murder gangs targeting and killing Canadian citizens on our soil.
00:04:07.040 As Global News put it,
00:04:08.160 An unknown number of federal politicians are knowingly working with hostile countries to interfere in Canada's democracy.
00:04:15.020 The committee reviewed top-secret intelligence reports that suggested sitting parliamentarians are witting or semi-witting participants in foreign interference operations,
00:04:23.900 including divulging secrets to foreign governments.
00:04:26.760 The committee pointed to several activities the undisclosed number of parliamentarians are allegedly engaged in,
00:04:33.020 including soliciting political support from foreign missions, accepting money or favors from diplomats,
00:04:38.680 and revealing their colleagues' positions on issues so that foreign operatives can pressure them.
00:04:43.820 In one case, a parliamentarian allegedly provided confidential government information to a known intelligence officer of a foreign state.
00:04:51.920 We already know that the Chinese Communist Party has been engaged in a very sophisticated and long-term operation to interfere in Canada's democracy. 0.94
00:05:02.480 In the 2021 federal election,
00:05:04.420 it was reported that China had a clandestine network of at least 11 candidates and 13 staffers implicated in foreign interference on behalf of the CCP.
00:05:14.360 So far, only one sitting MP has been accused of being involved in a CCP operation.
00:05:22.240 That would be Don Valley North member of parliament, Han Dong.
00:05:26.240 The CSIS allegations state that Han Dong's liberal nomination was heavily interfered with and supported by the CCP.
00:05:35.120 The liberals promptly booted Han Dong from their caucus,
00:05:38.600 and he now sits as an independent member of parliament.
00:05:41.480 Now, what did Liberal MP Jennifer O'Connell say when conservatives were pressing Dominic LeBlanc,
00:05:47.080 Canada's national security minister, over these allegations, over this report?
00:05:52.480 Well, allegedly, she said,
00:05:55.020 boo-hoo, get over it.
00:05:57.100 Yeah, there are traitors inside Canada's parliament, whether in the Senate or in the House of Commons,
00:06:02.580 but just get over it.
00:06:03.840 Get over it already and move on to something else.
00:06:06.060 We already knew about the extent to which the Chinese Communist Party was interfering in Canada's democracy 0.72
00:06:11.980 because a brave CSIS whistleblower exposed what was going on
00:06:17.740 because the federal government wasn't taking any action.
00:06:21.680 When the initial report started to come out from Sam Cooper's reporting in Global News
00:06:25.660 and from Bob Fyfe in the Globe and Mail,
00:06:28.100 Justin Trudeau tried to do anything he could to avoid a national inquiry into this issue.
00:06:34.260 He even said that he was never briefed on Chinese interference
00:06:37.820 before eventually walking that back and saying that he was.
00:06:40.880 Well, the CSIS whistleblower actually told us why they had to come forward
00:06:45.360 in an op-ed published in the Globe and Mail.
00:06:48.260 As the whistleblower states,
00:06:50.060 When I first became aware of the significance of the threat posed by outside interference
00:06:54.120 to our democratic institutions,
00:06:55.920 I worked, as have many unnamed and tireless colleagues,
00:06:59.140 to equip our leaders with the knowledge and the tools needed to take action against it.
00:07:03.040 Months passed, and then years.
00:07:05.040 The threat grew in urgency.
00:07:06.700 Serious action remained unforthcoming.
00:07:08.900 I endeavored alone and with others to raise concerns about this threat
00:07:11.980 directly to those in a position to hold our top officials to account.
00:07:15.800 Regrettably, those individuals were unable to do so.
00:07:19.180 Worse still, evidence of senior public officials ignoring interference was beginning to mount.
00:07:26.600 No one actually cared.
00:07:28.180 No one in the federal government took this issue seriously.
00:07:31.200 They didn't want to end the party, end all the fun.
00:07:33.940 They were already in power, thanks, likely, in part to foreign interference,
00:07:38.420 and no one wanted to be the guy to ruin it for everyone else.
00:07:42.280 So they kept themselves quiet.
00:07:44.220 They shielded the information from coming to light.
00:07:47.460 And now we're back, once again, to a place where Canada, the Canadian public, and our democracy
00:07:53.560 is relying on a whistleblower to give us the names of these alleged traitors
00:07:58.060 because the government clearly isn't going to do it themselves.
00:08:01.160 As a matter of fact, it wouldn't even be illegal for a whistleblower to release the names of the alleged traitors.
00:08:08.520 After all, every day that this MP who gave confidential information to a foreign nation
00:08:14.620 is sitting in Parliament or the Senate, the worse it gets for all of Canada.
00:08:19.120 There is a specific carve-out in the Security of Information Act of 1985
00:08:24.960 which states that if the information is in the public interest,
00:08:28.240 it is right for that information to be released to the public,
00:08:31.520 even if that person is bound to secrecy.
00:08:33.960 Section 15 of the Security of Information Act states that
00:08:37.780 no person is guilty of an offense under Section 13 or 14
00:08:41.500 if the person establishes that he or she acted in the public interest.
00:08:46.580 Specifically, if the public interest in the disclosure
00:08:50.020 outweighs the public interest in non-disclosure.
00:08:53.300 If anyone wants to be the guy that is left to defend the idea that it is not in the public interest
00:08:57.960 to release the names of Members of Parliament and Senators
00:09:01.840 who are wittingly colluding with hostile foreign nations,
00:09:05.080 well, good luck to you.
00:09:06.260 Because I don't know about you,
00:09:07.760 but I would like to know if my Member of Parliament is a traitor.
00:09:11.000 I would like to know if there are Cabinet Ministers
00:09:13.420 who are committing high treason against Canada.
00:09:16.860 In Australia, the rule is simple.
00:09:19.000 Dual nationals, dual citizens are not allowed to be elected to federal office.
00:09:24.640 In Australia, you have to renounce any dual citizenship with any country
00:09:28.720 in order to be elected to federal office.
00:09:31.800 Many of those Australian politicians that were either forced to resign
00:09:35.440 or were removed from a candidate list in the lead-up to a 2017 election
00:09:40.140 held dual citizenship with countries like New Zealand and the UK,
00:09:44.780 which I find to be harsh.
00:09:45.960 But that being said, if you are going to enforce the rules, it better be consistent.
00:09:52.900 Now, if you were to ask me, I don't think anyone born outside of Canada
00:09:56.260 should be eligible to be elected to federal office.
00:09:59.140 But there are a surprisingly large number of MPs who are not born in Canada.
00:10:05.460 A very large number of foreign-born MPs.
00:10:09.160 But if we have this significant problem in our Parliament of MPs
00:10:12.760 committing treason against our country while also having a very large number of dual citizens 1.00
00:10:18.560 in our Parliament, well, maybe it's something we should consider looking at.
00:10:22.900 Is it really worth it to have foreigners elected to Canadian Parliament? 1.00
00:10:28.740 Let's just go down the list of foreign-born Canadian MPs.
00:10:32.200 Many likely hold dual citizenship, but not all.
00:10:36.020 Let's start with Pablo Rodriguez, Canadian Cabinet Minister.
00:10:39.720 Well, he is born in Argentina and is very likely an Argentinian dual citizen.
00:10:46.400 Majid Johari, liberal, born in Iran.
00:10:50.180 Ikwinder Gahir, liberal MP, who was born in India.
00:10:54.300 Shafkat Ali, liberal MP, born in Pakistan.
00:10:58.840 Paul Chang, liberal MP, born in Pakistan to Chinese parents.
00:11:04.480 Han Dong, liberal, born in China.
00:11:07.260 Arielle Kayabaga, liberal MP, she was born in Burundi.
00:11:12.940 Wilson Miao, liberal MP, born in Hong Kong.
00:11:16.260 Harjit Sajan, liberal MP, current Cabinet Minister, born in India.
00:11:22.340 Arif Varani, liberal MP, born in Uganda.
00:11:26.760 He's currently also the Attorney General.
00:11:29.540 Soraya Martinez-Ferrata, liberal MP, born in Chile.
00:11:33.680 Leslyn Lewis, conservative MP, born in Jamaica.
00:11:37.300 Salma Zahid, liberal MP, born in Pakistan.
00:11:41.680 Mary Ng, cabinet minister, liberal MP, born in Hong Kong.
00:11:47.020 Jazraj Singh Hallan, conservative MP, born in Dubai.
00:11:51.560 Sonia Sidhu, liberal MP, born in India.
00:11:54.700 Ikra Khalid, liberal MP, born in Pakistan.
00:11:57.720 Jenny Kwan, born in Hong Kong.
00:12:00.740 Liberal MP, Omar Al-Ghabra, Syrian citizen, born in Saudi Arabia.
00:12:07.540 Suk Dhaliwal, liberal MP, born in India.
00:12:10.720 Emmanuel Dubourg, liberal MP, born in Haiti.
00:12:14.380 Ziyad Aboul Taif, conservative MP, born in Lebanon.
00:12:19.660 Also a dual citizen of Lebanon.
00:12:22.000 Gary Anadisangari, liberal MP, born in Sri Lanka.
00:12:27.180 Chandra Arya, liberal MP, born in India.
00:12:30.540 Bardish Chagar, liberal MP, born in India.
00:12:34.380 Faisal El-Khuri, liberal, born in Lebanon.
00:12:38.060 Also a dual citizen of Lebanon.
00:12:41.100 Ahmed Hassan, cabinet minister, liberal MP, born in Somalia.
00:12:45.740 Rечi Valdez, liberal MP, born in Zambia.
00:12:50.640 Conservative MP and current shadow minister for immigration, Tom Kamich, holds dual citizenship
00:12:56.360 with Poland.
00:12:57.740 You also have conservative senator, Salma Atulajan, born in Pakistan and also holds dual citizenship
00:13:04.620 with Pakistan.
00:13:05.980 Liberal MP, Peter Fonseca, dual citizen of Portugal.
00:13:10.900 Liberal MP, Andy Fillmore, dual citizen of the United States.
00:13:15.040 Former conservative party leader and current opposition house leader, Andrew Scheer, is
00:13:21.280 a dual citizen of the United States.
00:13:24.600 He kept on to his dual citizenship while running to be the prime minister of Canada.
00:13:29.700 Look, whether you believe that the rules should state that a Canadian MP should be born in Canada
00:13:34.640 or if you just want the rule to be that you should not be a dual citizen, the rules should
00:13:40.220 at least be in place to protect our democracy.
00:13:43.000 All that being said, what is the likelihood that dual citizens of foreign nations are
00:13:49.360 the ones who are colluding with those foreign nations?
00:13:52.060 I would say there's a higher probability of that happening than a non-dual citizen.
00:13:57.040 We're talking about national security here, the integrity of Canada's democracy.
00:14:01.620 It's not something that we can just play around with and say, we want to be open, diverse,
00:14:07.720 multicultural.
00:14:08.400 We don't care if you hold a dual citizenship with a hostile foreign nation. 0.90
00:14:12.060 We don't care if you're a dual citizen of a country that shares no similar values to Canada. 0.99
00:14:19.700 Dual citizenship is dual loyalty.
00:14:22.820 Let's just call it what it is and be honest about that.
00:14:26.260 Release the names of the alleged traitors in parliament and let them have their day in
00:14:31.220 court to defend themselves.
00:14:32.840 Enough is enough with this absurd, un-Canadian, un-patriotic nonsense going on. 1.00
00:14:38.880 Stop shielding them and let us know who they are.
00:14:42.780 All right, everyone, that's going to do it for us today on the show.
00:14:44.940 Thank you so much for tuning in.
