“The former director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service(CSIS) has calling on the Liberal government to scrutinize the recent takeover of a Nunavut[Canadian] goldmine by a Chinese state-owned company.”
TMAC is among an increasing number of Canadian companies being bought up by state-owned Chinese corporations. In March 2020, the Trudeau government permitted Continental Gold to be purchased by China’s state-controlled Zijin Mining for $1.3 billion dollars.
Richard Fadden, head of CSIS from 2009-2013, told the Globe and Mail that the federal government should keep Canada’s national security interests in mind when examining the purchase.”
“I think gold is pretty important for the world economy. China has enough of a grip on the world economy as it is, given its capital assets, so I would include gold.”
According to Fadden, “the intelligence community has been increasingly worried regarding China’s investments in Canadian companies which skirt regulation.”
Justin Trudeau isn’t worried in the least. Away from public knowledge, our prime minister approved a comprehensive sell-off of Canadian gold reserves. Nearly all of it was purchased by China. Throughout the process, establishment media barely blinked an eye. Important to CSIS— irrelevant to the prime minister of Canada.
Pierre Gratton, president of the Mining Association of Canada, said the TMAC takeover has raised eyebrows because Shandong Gold Group is a Chinese state-owned enterprise.
“China as a very large powerful authoritarian state acquiring assets in the Canadian Arctic, that concern is legitimate,” said Michael Byers, Canada Research Chair in Global Politics at University of British Columbia.
CAP offer up a piece of fascination: Trudeau’s decision to dump all Canadian gold holdings came mere months after his election as PM in 2015:
As reported by CBC News, “the government of Canada has wound down its gold reserves to basically nothing after a multi-year strategy of selling them off in favour of hoarding other countries’ currencies instead.”
Why did Trudeau take this action– especially so early in his tenure? On this basis, it’s near-impossible for this to be a short-term or spontaneous decision. Serious preparation would have been done in advance for the sell-off to occur. Four months into Trudeau’s tenure, our Liberal government divested itself of all its holdings of gold.
According to the Department of Finance’s international reserves data issued on March 19th, 2016, Canada’s gold reserves were down effectively to $0.
Was this done as a favour to the government of China? Could Mr. Trudeau’s altruism be pay-back for China’s assistance in a successful run for prime minister of Canada?
“For several months, the Trudeau government has been sitting on briefing notes from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service(CSIS) setting out how Beijing quietly funded 11 candidates in the 2019 federal election.
Down at the Swap Meet:
Did Justin Trudeau strike a deal with China in the following capacity? “You help me become prime minister of Canada, and I will ensure you receive the bulk of Canadian gold holdings.”
It’s a hypothetical, but one which could have serious legs.
In February 2016, weeks before the Liberals dumped their gold, the United States held 8,133 tonnes of gold, comprising 72 per cent of its reserves. Germany had 3,381 tonnes accounting for 66 per cent of its reserves, while Italy and France each held more than 2,400 tonnes — 60 per cent of their respective reserves.
“Canada is currently the only G7 nation without any official gold holdings.”
What a revelation this is. Not for 38 Million Canadians, of course. Seems mainstream media in Canada has intentionally held back the news.
“Gold is an antique instrument. This is why Canada sold all its gold reserves”
– former Bank Of Canada CEO David Dodge.
Don’t be so sure, fellow patriots. In 2020, China was listed as maintaining the largest gold reserves of any country on the planet. Justin Trudeau assisted them in achieving their goal by selling them the lion’s share of Canadian gold.
Smart business, or a return favour for helping to fast-track a former ski-board instructor into the PMO? No matter how you slice it, the Liberal Party of Canada always come out smelling like communist roses.
Mission Accomplished, Comrade Trudeau?
What a bunch of idiots, how come the people from Canada didn’t have a say in this. Well the gold is a back up and we have none, well if there is a need in the future we don’t have it thanks to Trudeau.
Remind him he works for us not the other way around. He has enough money that if Canada needed it will Freeland take possession of his holdings to say because of what he has done well Freeland take his money. Highly doubtful.
because the people of Canada never have a say in any element of federal politics. Our singular right is that o one person-one vote.
This is amazing how one man can strip the sovereign wealth of an entire nation and it barely makes the news what a sad little man to be able to hurt your fellow citizens and not even blink an eye if i were PM i would strip him of all his wealth and make an example out of him in the public eye he does tgis because to him the citizens are subjects to do with as he pleases he cares not for the well being of his nation only him self
it leaves us to wonder how many other things he has given China with out our knowledge. Funny how paying the media the remain mum on his actions to support the Chinese global take over
Sold for his ADMIRED IDOL !!!!!!
It’s becoming a for gone conclusion Trudeau is following his task masters in bankrupting Canada .our sovereignty has been used as collateral and have no fall back position when USD collapses so does the Looney .Our moronic prime idiot sold all our gold ,therefore to breakup Canada. He will retreat to Quebec and separate.
Disclaimer: I’m by far NOT a Trudeau fan, he is destroying our country. But…
For the record: Previous governments since 1960s started selling our 1000+ tonnes of gold. When Trudeau was elected Canada had 3.4 tonnes. So maybe you should call out the other PMs for their 1000 tonnes they sold.
False
This PM needs a very bright light shone on his every move until he is swept away along with his Caucus.
These people are in a conflict of interest with Canadians by hanging out with the WEF and participating in a Communist régime while under Oath to Canada to protect our Country. An RCMP is under oath and isn’t allowed to have a Paper Route but the Deputy PM and Finance Minister can Serve both Canada and an organization trying to enslave the world with a Communist Plan. Are Canadians Brain Dead to allow this to happen?
Freeland is holding an executive position in WEF as their Recording Secretary. How does She serve two Masters of opposite belief Systems.
Wake up Canada.
