"...“The money moving through these underground casinos leads to huge profits for criminals that fund other ventures such as prostitution and drug trafficking,” York Regional Police said in a statement last week.
Not long ago, however, the businessman accused of being at the centre of it all was moving in some of Canada’s loftiest business and political circles, partly as an advocate for China..."
...Wei also was among a delegation of four representing a Chinese government-endorsed industry group that met separately with Trudeau. Another member of the delegation donated $1 million to the Trudeau Foundation and the erection of a statue honoring the prime minister’s father.
...Wei couldn’t be reached for comment, but he came to Canada about 10 years ago under the investor-immigrant program, said the source. As head of Skywalk Investment, he’s known as a real estate developer, serving on a committee of the Canada-China Realty Professional Association, which says it is dedicated to encouraging development and investment opportunities in the two countries.
Calling Out Justin on His "Thanks for Whatever or Whomever Days", Not Just His Empty and Calculated Apologies

"...Do you know what day it is? If not, you can scoot over to the prime minister’s website and discover it’s, say, Cyprus’ 60th Independence Day. And read a bunch of lies about how he cares.
It’s bad enough when politicians churn out empty pieties about Mental Illness Awareness Week or Fire Prevention Week, because there are so many worthy causes and so few weeks (just 52 this year, I’m told).
It spins a massive web of petty deceit. On Sept. 30 Trudeau intoned, “It was with great sadness that I learned of the death of …” You have no idea, right? Neither does he. The demise of “His Highness Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, Emir of Kuwait” caused Trudeau no loss of sleep or appetite.
It gets worse. The statement, supposedly quoting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, went on to read, “Canada joins the people of Kuwait in honouring their leader and his profound legacy.” So we’re even asked to wink at his lies on our behalf. Canada didn’t “join” with any “people of Kuwait,” who were actually sorry. I doubt 100 Canadians knew.

When The Economy Is Down Just Build and Spend on Infrastructure, Right? Wrong!
Overwhelmingly Favoured Country of Express Entry, Permanent Residency/Immigration Applications to Canada: A Simple Mathematical, Unbiased Question - Why?
If you read this, would you ask yourself anything?
"...In 2019, ____ citizens accounted for a quarter of the 341,000 immigrants who were welcomed by Canada.."
"...______ accounted for almost half of the principal applicants who were invited to apply for permanent residence between 2017 and 2019..."
To question the sanctimonous institution of entry and immigration to Canada has been rendered taboo and runs the risk of being called many things. However, from a purely mathematical point of view, how is it that one area of the world comprises an overwhelming majority of applicants through various programs including Express Entry, permanent residency and immigration to Canada? Especially in a country that has preached diversity, multi-culturalism and inclusion.
Running your finger down any list of numeric items, large numbers above the average would certainly catch your eye and may cause you to simply ask why or investigate further. Similarly, in this case, the numbers are eye catching and begs the simple question (race, religion, ethnicity, sexuality, age aside) - "why"? Out of sheer curiousity, why would any one country be so over represented as this in a deemed multi-cultural society (some country is going to have to lay claim to having "the most", but why this magnitude)? Another simple question, why are so many other applicants from other counties being overlooked or under represented? Is there a new quota or does it reflect the number of total applicants? If that is the reason then let it be known or is there another basis Canadians are not aware of? Is Canada's immigration institution a fair and equitable system? Is someone, some organization or something receiving a benefit from this? A consulate office? Or in Canada?
