Canada’s Parliament rocked by allegations of treason

politico.com

A bombshell report by Canadian lawmakers has unnerved Parliament Hill, alleging that unnamed politicians have been covertly working with foreign governments.

The all-party NSICOP said Monday that it has reviewed intelligence that suggests “semi-witting or witting” parliamentarians have worked with foreign missions to mobilize voters during a political campaign; have taken cash “knowingly or through willful blindness” from foreign missions or their proxies; and have shared privileged information with foreign diplomatic officials.
Its report said China remains the largest foreign interference threat to Canada with India the second.
The intelligence included a claim that unnamed parliamentarians are taking direction from unnamed diplomats to “improperly influence” their colleagues or parliamentary business to the benefit of a foreign state.
Last fall, Conservative MP Michael Chong appeared before the congressional-executive commission on China to testify about being targeted by Beijing because of his defense of Uyghur issues.

Chong discovered through media reports that a Chinese diplomat had been assigned to collect information on him and his family. Canada’s spy agency has warned other Canadian parliamentarians, including NDP MP Jenny Kwan, that they were also being surveilled by China.

No warming in Antarctic east. Global warming is bullshit and irrelevant for most humans. Global warming is only a political issue to get one elected on bullshit.

New Study: East Antarctica’s Ice Sheet Thickening, Gaining Mass – Especially Since The 1980s


By Kenneth Richard on 10. June 2024

A collection of 85-year-old photographs reveal “growth and stability” of the East Antarctic ice sheet.

Per a new study, more than 2200 historical aerial photos of a 2000 km stretch of ice in East Antarctica have been recently uncovered. The rare images reveal what the glaciers in this region looked like in 1937.

Interestingly, the photos show all these East Antarctic glaciers have remained stable, thickened, gained mass, and/or increased in elevation over the last 85 years, with much of the growth and mass gains occurring since 1985.

There has been no warming in this region since the 1950s. This suggests that “global warming” plays a minimal role in ice thickness changes.

“The terrestrial regions of the EAIS respond mainly to atmospheric forcing. Overall, there has been no significant trends in annual or seasonal mean air temperature in East Antarctica since the 1950s, and mean austral summer air temperature (December to February) from stations in all regions rarely exceeds 0 °C (Fig. 4C). This suggests that surface melting have played a minimal role in the documented ice thickness changes overtime.”

I recently got banned from the severe weather board because I was harassing the mod to tell the board what the sea level rise in Vancouver was for the past 100 years. He lives in Vancouver so he has a personal stake in this topic. He kept putting me off and I kept repeating the question. Its easier to know what has occurred over the last 100 years than to know what WILL occur in the NEXT 100 years.

Finally to shut me up he provided some sea level rise links for Vancouver. Still not providing a number of inches or feet of sea level rise for the past 100 years. These links concentrated on future sea level rise ( OMG!!! We're all gonna drown!!)

But in them I did find my answer. Make sure you are sitting down...no coffee in your mouth. The total sea level rise for Vancouver the last 100 years is...3.7 mm. For those not up on metric, that is less than 1/4" in 100 years. This is the collosol threat we are facing in Canada. 3.7mm/100 years. But,but,but what if it doubles?

Thats 1/2" every 100 years. Head for the hills! Save yourself !

So for exposing that kind of info I had to be banned.

He also constantly says that talking about off topic subjects is a no-no. Like Vancouver sea level rise. But forest fires in BC are a definite severe weather event. Huh? Forest fires are a weather event? Since when?

Hey its his board, he can make the rules. Its just that.......
