Canadian Liberal MP accuses Conservatives of being bankrolled by Russia

“There is something in his past,” Lamoureux said to MPs, adding, “He is hiding something. What is it?”
Without offering evidence to back up his claim, a high-ranking Canadian MP from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party claimed that Russia is bankrolling the Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) in a bid to prop it up.
The claim was made by Kevin Lamoureux, a Liberal MP from Winnipeg North riding who recently alleged that Russia is “spending millions” as a type of “foreign influencer.”
Lamoureux, as per Blacklock’s Reporter, told his fellow MPs on November 27 that “Russia” was propping up the “Conservative Party of Canada, if not directly, indirectly.”
“Is it any wonder why maybe they might have actually voted against a Canada-Ukraine trade deal for suspicious reasons? I’m trying to be nice,” he claimed, without offering any evidence.
Lamoureux is no back-benching Liberal but serves as the parliamentary secretary to the Government House Leader. He said that the Canada Elections Act bans “undue influence” as well as contributions made by any “foreign individual or entity” to Canadian federal parties.
His comments come at a time with support for the Trudeau Liberals is at an all-time low, with the most recent polls showing a Conservative government under leader Pierre Poilievre would win a super majority were an election held today.
House Leader Karina Gould did not comment on Lamoureux’s accusations against the CPC. As for Lamoureux, he claimed that Poilievre may be hiding something.
“There is something in his past,” Lamoureux said to MPs, adding, “He is hiding something. What is it?”
Lamoureux made the same accusations earlier, again offering no evidence to support his claims.
Conservatives demand ‘full apology’
CPC MPs, notably those of Ukrainian background, blasted Lamoureux’s comments, demanding a “full apology.”
“It is gutter politics,” Conservative MP James Bezan said.
Pro-life CPC MP Cathay Wagantall demanded Lamoureux offer a “full apology” at once.
“My grandfather came here just before the Holodomor from a Russia that destroyed our people,” she said.
The reality is the CPC under Poilievre has consistently objected to Russia’s ongoing conflict with Ukraine.
However, this has not stopped the Trudeau government from claiming Russia is somehow behind Canada’s freedom movement as well as the Conservative Party.
Trudeau’s cabinet had to earlier admit that it made up claims Russia had bankrolled the 2022 Freedom Convoy, admitting, “There was no evidence foreign state actors or foreign governments were conducting any disinformation campaign against Canada in relation to the convoy.
In 2022, the CBC, Canada’s state-run broadcaster, was rebuked by its overseer after running a story false story claiming Russia was behind the Freedom Convoy protests.
Trudeau recently drew the ire of popular Canadian psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson, who demanded an apology after the Canadian prime minister accused him of being funded by Russian state media.
Meanwhile, Trudeau has praised China for its “basic dictatorship” and has labeled the authoritarian nation as his favorite country other than his own.

‘I’m Cautiously Optimistic’: Doug Ford Strongly Recommends Canada ‘Not To Retaliate’ Against Trump’s Tariffs

From the Daily Caller News Foundation
By Jason Cohen
Ontario Premier Doug Ford urged Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to avoid retaliation against the tariffs President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday.
Trump announced in the White House Rose Garden that he would impose “a minimum baseline tariff of 10%” on all goods entering the United States, with Canada not being included on the list of countries with higher rates. When asked about what Canada’s response would be on “Bloomberg: Balance of Power,” Ford said he was “cautiously optimistic” about Canada’s omission from the higher-tier tariffs and emphasized the importance of a cooperative relationship with the U.S.

“Well, let’s see where these tariffs go. I’m cautiously optimistic that I never saw Canada or Mexico on that list. And it just goes to show you two great countries working together, collaborating together and building relationships,” Ford said. “So again, I’m cautiously optimistic. I think if that’s the case, it’s the right thing for both the U.S and Canada.”
Host Kailey Leinz noted that there are currently tariffs on Canada in place as well as an exemption for goods that are in compliance with the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
“Does that mean, sir, at least in your mind, that it wouldn’t be appropriate for Canada to retaliate for this at this time?” Leinz asked.
“That is correct. If that’s the case, then I would highly recommend to the prime minister not to retaliate. And let’s carry on a strong relationship,” Ford answered. “Let’s build the American-Canadian fortress around both countries and be the wealthiest, most prosperous, safest two countries in the world.”
Trump declared a national emergency to levy a slew of reciprocal tariffs on what he has deemed “Liberation Day.”
“My fellow Americans, this is Liberation Day, April 2, 2025, will forever be remembered as the day American industry was reborn, the day America’s destiny was reclaimed, and the day that we began to make America wealthy again,” Trump said.
The president also announced that he would proceed with implementing a 25% tariff on “all foreign-made automobiles” that will take effect at midnight.
Ford in March had imposed a 25% surcharge on electricity to New York, Michigan and Minnesota, but promptly rescinded the policy and apologized to Americans on WABC’s “Cats & Cosby” radio show the following day. The tariffs were a retaliatory measure against Trump’s flurry of tariffs against Canada since starting his second term.

Liberal MP resigns after promoting Chinese government bounty on Conservative rival

From LifeSiteNews
“I find it incredible that Mark Carney would allow someone to run for his party that called for a Canadian citizen to be handed over to a foreign government on a bounty,” he said at a recent rally. “What does that say about whether Mark Carney would protect Canadians?”
Liberal MP candidate Paul Chiang has dropped out of the running after being exposed for suggesting Canadians turn in a Conservative Party candidate to the Chinese consulate to collect a bounty placed on the man by the communist regime.
In an March 31 statement, Chiang, the Liberal candidate for the Markham-Unionville riding, announced his departure from the race after a video of him suggesting a bounty could be claimed for Conservative candidate Joe Tay by handing him over to Chinese authorities circulated on social media. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have announced they are “probing” the comments.
“I am proud of what we have achieved together and I remain deeply grateful for the trust placed in me,” he said. “This is a uniquely important election with so much at stake for Canadians. As the Prime Minister and Team Canada work to stand up to President Trump and protect our economy, I do not want any distractions in this critical moment.”
“That’s why I’m standing aside as our 2025 candidate in our community of Markham-Unionville,” he announced.
Chiang’s resignation follows backlash from Conservatives and Canadians alike when a January video from a news conference with Chinese-language media in Toronto resurfaced.
In the video, Chiang jokingly suggested that Tay, his then-Conservative rival for the Markham–Unionville riding, could be turned over to the Chinese Consulate General in Toronto in return for $1-million Hong Kong dollar bounty, about $183,000 CAD.
Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre was quick to call out Chiang’s suggestion and blasted Prime Minister Mark Carney for keeping him on the ballot.
“I find it incredible that Mark Carney would allow someone to run for his party that called for a Canadian citizen to be handed over to a foreign government on a bounty,” he said at a recent rally. “What does that say about whether Mark Carney would protect Canadians?”
Chiang has since apologized for his suggestion on both social media and personally to Tay.
“Today, I spoke with Joseph Tay, the Conservative candidate for Don Valley North, to personally apologize for the comments that I made this past January,” he wrote in a March 30 X post.
“It was a terrible lapse of judgement. I recognize the severity of the statement and I am deeply disappointed in myself,” he continued.
Carney has said remarkably little regarding the situation. First, he refused to fire the Liberal candidate, referring to Chiang’s statement as a “terrible lapse of judgment.”
“He’s made his apology. He’s made it to the public, he’s made it to the individual concerned, he’s made it directly to me, and he’s going to continue with his candidacy,” Carney said. “He has my confidence.”
Then, following the announcement of Chaing’s resignation, Carney told reporters that it was time to “move on” and that he would “leave it at that.”
