00:02:38.000 mary ing took to social media and wrote the following it is unfortunate that mr wong recently
00:02:43.760 gave sam cooper another platform to make insinuations about me which i categorically reject foreign
00:02:50.800 interference is a serious matter of national security and like all my cabinet colleagues i have been
00:02:56.080 thoroughly screened by the top security experts in canada my work in the service of canadians stands on
00:03:01.760 its own merits while mr cooper's conspiracy theories have been pushed from the main pages of global
00:03:07.680 news to the only place that will publish them his own website it is not okay for him to continue
00:03:13.760 fueling his climate of suspicion against me unbelievable of course sam cooper is a conspiracy theorist
00:03:22.000 say whatever happened to that court case filed by han dong against sam cooper's reporting in the global news
00:03:28.160 has that gone anywhere yet last i checked it was not a crime to report the truth and you know what
00:03:33.040 there's nothing stopping marrying from suing sam cooper and letting the courts see the evidence
00:03:38.400 british columbia backbench liberal mp parm baines is also a new name listed by sam cooper at this press

00:04:08.720 the singapore-born victor oh was named by sam cooper as being involved with the chinese communist party
00:04:16.160 as well as sitting liberal senator or should i say excuse me independent senator un pao wu also foreign-born
00:04:25.920 citizens here and if you're coming from national association on the contrary to the country
00:04:28.720 now i have to say of all of the names to be listed at this press conference
00:04:30.400 yuen pao wu was the least surprising after all he really doesn't shy away from his
00:04:35.600 kowtowing to the chinese dictatorship inside the canadian senate for example
00:04:41.040 yuen pao wu has criticized calls for a foreign agent registry in this country because it might
00:04:47.600 potentially stigmatize certain communities i wonder why he would say that also he has frequently opposed
00:04:53.760 motions condemning china's illegal construction of islands in the south china sea he wanted the
00:05:00.320 canadian government to quote recognize the legitimacy of china's justice system during
00:05:06.000 the detainment of the two michaels how very patriotic of him and also he has argued against 0.95
00:05:11.360 motions condemning china's genocide of the uyghur muslim minority in xinjiang and compared the uyghur
00:05:19.280 genocide to canada's residential school system because of course he would that's exactly what a
00:05:24.720 very patriotic canadian senator would do right someone with a track record like that is surely
00:05:31.040 acting in the interests of the canadian people and is definitely not a tanky for the chinese communist
00:05:36.640 party yuen pao wu responded to true north's reporting of the accusations saying the press conference
00:05:42.720 confirms my long-standing concern about the role of second-rate journalists phony experts opportunistic
00:05:49.200 politicians and rogue officials in distracting canadians from serious foreign interference
00:05:54.720 issues and whipping up a frenzy that feeds on disinformation partisanship and bigotry right so 0.99
00:06:01.360 the people on the podium including kevin vong a former ccist agent michelle juno katsuya and sam cooper
00:06:10.880 are naming potential traitors to our country out of partisanship and bigotry towards chinese people
00:06:17.760 of course they are good luck with that argument senator wu let's see how far it gets you it's a
00:06:23.040 bold strategy cotton let's see if it pays off for him here's an interesting clip of both senator victor
00:06:29.440 oh and senator un pao wu celebrating the 74th anniversary of the founding of the people's republic of china
00:06:38.080 in ottawa over some champagne
00:06:48.560 also what on earth is a senior member of the canadian military doing at this celebration as well
00:07:09.840 i'm pretty sure china is the enemy both senator oh and senator wu organized protests against the foreign 0.77
00:07:17.680 agent registry in this country and on the celebration of victor oh's retirement the chinese consulate
00:07:24.640 wanted to celebrate all of the good work victor oh did on behalf of china saying of him on the eve of
00:07:30.320 his retirement that he is an old friend of the consulate i wonder if anybody today considers victor oh
00:07:37.200 to be an old friend of the canadian people the people he's supposed to represent in the senate
00:07:42.560 now this is what happened when kevin vuong further addressed his allegations this time in the house
00:07:48.240 of commons in a question directed to justin trudeau new year's eve canadians will be ushering in
00:07:53.840 the hove commission's final report on foreign interference but meanwhile media continue to
00:07:58.800 provide insight as to who are the infamous 11 parliamentarians in the pocket of china mr speaker
00:08:04.080 does a prime minister have trouble sitting at the cabinet table when he must wittingly know that at
00:08:08.720 least one of his ministers is not working in the service of canada or is he entirely witless
00:08:19.920 the right honorable prime minister mr speaker that was an absolutely disgraceful of display
00:08:25.920 of irreverence and unseriousness in a place that deserves a serious contemplation of issues of
00:08:31.760 national security but it doesn't surprise me he's choosing to sit with the conservative party of
00:08:36.240 canada because their leader won't even get the necessary clearance to get the necessary briefing 0.92
00:08:41.680 to keep canadians safe what a ridiculous reaction it's justin trudeau and his government that are
00:08:48.560 withholding the names of potential traders to canada listed in the nsi cop report not telling
00:08:55.040 canadians and voters about who these traders could potentially be as we are rapidly approaching another
00:09:01.600 election you could end up voting for a traitor to canada because he or she represents your preferred
00:09:08.240 party of choice and you are unaware of what they're actually up to and what the canadian security
00:09:13.840 establishment knows they are up to at least there are patriotic canadians like the four gentlemen that
00:09:19.920 held that press conference on monday that are actually going to name names that are actually going
00:09:24.000 to take matters into their own hands and start telling canadians the truth unlike the politicians
00:09:29.040 all of whom that have read the report that have refused to name these potential traitors two
00:09:33.840 weeks ago at the foreign interference inquiry justin trudeau told canadians that he has a list
00:09:39.200 of conservative politicians accused of working on behalf of the interests of hostile foreign nations
00:09:44.560 i have the names of a number of parliamentarians former parliamentarians and or candidates
00:09:52.000 in the conservative party of canada who uh are engaged or at high risk of or for whom there is clear
00:10:06.320 intelligence around foreign interference and i have directed cesis and others to try and
00:10:15.200 inform the conservative party leader to um be warned and armed to be able to make decisions that protect
00:10:31.920 the integrity of that party of its members from attempts at foreign activities around foreign
00:10:38.320 interference but is he actually going to show us the names of course not pierr polyev meanwhile has refused
00:10:44.240 to receive the briefing in order to see the names himself because he says that if he does receive
00:10:49.840 that briefing he will be sworn to secrecy and be unable to comment on the names now regardless of
00:10:55.360 the reason and regardless of whatever party these members of parliament represent these names have to be
00:11:01.920 released these politicians have to defend themselves in court and allow for canadians to see this evidence
00:11:09.120 this has gone on for far too long interestingly sam cooper named a bc journalist and advisor to bc premier
00:11:16.480 david eby guo ding as being an agent of the chinese communist party so david eby has an advisor in his office
00:11:25.120 that is accused by a credible journalist of being an agent of the chinese communist party go check out the cbc
00:11:32.720 go check out globe and mail see if they've reported anything about these major accusations because for
00:11:38.960 whatever reason they're just not interested all right everyone that's going to do it for us today on the show
00:11:42.960 thank you so much for tuning in my name is harrison faulkner and this is ratio
