Foreign Interference Alert: US Think Tank spreads disinformation, amplified by witting or unwitting Canadian agents, including current and former politicians, officials and minor academics. @csiscanada @NSICOPCanada @nsiracanada static1.squarespace.com/static/686a94d…

Don't be fooled by Senator Moreau's misdirection. My question is whether the government knew that @generaldynamics.bsky.social sold propellant for US-made howitzers that were subsequently provided to 🇮🇱 in 2024/25. The question still stands. Same goes for the Canadian Commercial Corporation.

Non-state actors, including “foreign funded media and organizations” won’t have to register, which means the registry will not capture the most serious forms of foreign interference in Canada today. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Not only that, but the U.S. is also Vietnam’s top export market, not China. If Vietnam can successfully avoid over-dependence on its giant neighbour, why can’t Canada? A message for continental determinists. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

I wrote to the Canadian Commercial Corporation seeking transparency on its Human Rights Assessment of indirect transfers of Canadian military equipment to 🇮🇱 via 🇺🇸, as reported by CBC News & @alex.readthemaple.com. If there’s no complicity risk, say so. If there is, Canadians deserve to know.

More questions about Canadian complicity on Israel's genocide in Gaza. Time to take down the sign from the window. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

@globalaffairs.canada.ca refused to meet @franceskalbs.bsky.social when she visited Ottawa in 2025, accusing her of being an antisemite. An apology is long overdue. Are we taking the sign down from the window or what?

Non partisan senators are raising the alarm — indeed they are the only ones left in Parliament to point to risks which MPs have glossed over. For example, a malicious actor could form a political party and use or even sell voter data without oversight. www.thestar.com/politics/pol...

PM Carney: “It means acting consistently, applying the same standards to allies and rivals. When middle powers criticize economic intimidation from one direction but stay silent when it comes from another, we are keeping the sign in the window.” Quitar el cartel de la ventana. tinyurl.com/3m24zuew

Happy Year of the Horse! Here is the bronze head that was looted from the Summer Palace in Beijing by the British in 1860 and brought back to China through a public auction — for C$9m. 新年快乐，恭喜发财，马年吉祥！CHÚC MỪNG NĂM MỚI!

At the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, I asked @globalaffairs.canada.ca what Canada is doing to prevent the deregistration of NGOs in Gaza & the West Bank and whether sanctions are being considered. With a worsening humanitarian crisis, statements alone are not enough. #cdnpoli

My heart is with the people of Tumbler Ridge. I offer deepest condolences to the families who lost loved ones and wishes for a speedy recovery to those injured. Thank you to the first responders, health workers & community leaders showing clarity, dignity and care.

In Senate committee last week, I pressed @globalaffairs.canada.ca: What is Canada doing to help avert the impending humanitarian crisis in Cuba that has been precipitated by U.S. economic coercion against Havana?

Canadians don’t stop being Canadian when they live abroad. 🌎 Over 4M live outside the country – our “Province of Canada in the World” – and they are an underused asset, not a liability. My motion calls for a national strategy to engage Canadians Abroad: senatoryuenpauwoo.ca/en/parliamen... #cdnpoli

See below for @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social’s reply to our letter on the impending de-registration of 36 humanitarian organizations working in Palestine, including a dozen Canadian NGOs. ➡️ senatoryuenpauwoo.ca/en/media/pre...

My latest op-ed: Canada's new FITR "risks becoming an exercise in bureaucratic form-filling that may shed some light on foreign influence but will reveal very little about foreign interference." peacediplomacy.org/2026/02/04/t...

Agreed. Time for Canada to jettison “Indo-Pacific” nomenclature and craft a strategy for engagement with Asian countries that is not premised on US strategic objectives and American primacy.

I can understand how difficult it is to contemplate the idea that the modern state representing a Semitic people who suffered so much at the hands of the Nazis could inflict such horror on another Semitic people. To watch or read my full speech: senatoryuenpauwoo.ca/en/parliamen... #NeverAgain

On this International Holocaust Remembrance Day, let us pledge that “never again” means “never again”, even when Israel is the perpetrator #Gaza

‪My 2021 article in International Journal pretty much describes where we are today. I propose we conceptualize China as our “global neighbour” and offer 5 principles for advancing the relationship. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Senator Muggli & I wrote to @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social to ask what she is doing to stop Israel from de-registering dozens of international NGOs that deliver humanitarian assistance to Gaza & the West Bank, including @msf.ca, Islamic Relief, @oxfamcanada.bsky.social & @carecanada.bsky.social.

From my interview on the Hot Room: There are many who want the scope of this reset to be as narrow as possible — to sell stuff to China, but still call the Chinese an enemy — rather than to think about China as an opportunity... to find solutions to the many challenges that we face. . . .

New on CUAME's YouTube channel: Litmus Testing as a Tool of Political Exclusion shows how loyalty tests harm Canadians, suppress debate, and discourage civic participation. Watch here: youtu.be/IzR2-r6EE8g?... #modernexclusion

I agree with Premier Scott Moe. The framing by Vassy Kapelos is part of the instinct to blame other countries for our self harm. senatoryuenpauwoo.ca/en/media/op-...

Not a “reset” or “recalibration”，but as the Chinese describe it, a “new starting point” 新起点。

The EV quota was based on 2023 imports, which consisted almost entirely of Tesla models made in China. Committing to at least half of new EV imports costing < $35,000 will mean Chinese-branded EVs will replace overpriced Chinese-made Teslas. Well played @mark-carney.bsky.social

Join me tonight for a webinar on the forthcoming Foreign Influence Transparency Registry. If you think it isn't relevant to you, I suggest you check out this self-assessment tool: courtready.ca/fitaa/ Register for the webinar at uvic.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Another reason why the restrictions on Canada-China research collaboration make no sense. @MarkJCarney ‘s “new start”with China should unwind the restrictions and Canadian universities should press for it. @sshrc @nserc @cihr @universitiescanada www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/u...

Canadians United Against Modern Exclusion (CUAME) @cuamecanada.bsky.social is now on YouTube! Watch the latest case study: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7U2t...

This is a chilling example of the harms that come from foreign interference hysteria and national security overreach — not just to an organization but to the community that it has serve for nearly 50 years. Read the case study: static1.squarespace.com/static/686a9... @cuamecanada.bsky.social

"A ceasefire that still buries children is not enough." Airstrikes, drone strikes and hypothermia are among the lethal conditions prevailing in Gaza despite the ceasefire, with +100 children killed since early October, @unicef.org said at today's United Nations Geneva press briefing. #GazaGenocide

The biggest challenge facing Prime Minister Mark Carney when he travels to the People's Republic of China this week is not the obstructionism of Chinese officials, but the determination of some Canadians to ensure that he fails in his mission. www.hilltimes.com/story/2026/0...

“How can Canada reinvent international talent initiatives and expect profound research productivity without systemically getting rid of a culture that allows attaching suspicion to scholars in Canada solely based on their identity?” New @cuamecanada.bsky.social case study 👇 tinyurl.com/ymukazk6

Oh, I mustn’t forget to add some of our climate advocates including @senrosagalvez.bsky.social, an environmental engineer and @sencoyle.bsky.social, who leads the Senate climate caucus.

My own group - the largest in the Senate - is the Independent Senators Group or @senindepend.bsky.social - and we were the first parliamentary caucus in Canada to quit X. (Please reward our audacity with a follow.)

Interested in public health policy policy? Meet @senmoodie.sencanada.ca, a leading neo-natologist. Is your interest banking or business? Let me introduce @senatorloffreda.bsky.social from Montreal.

And if you're especially interested in the war in Ukraine, and related foreign policy topics, let me introduce you to @stankutcher.sencanada.ca and @donnadasko.bsky.social. He's a psychiatry prof. She's a former pollster. They've both been outspoken champions of Ukraine through its struggles.

If you are a foreign policy wonk - or want to follow one - connect with @senboehm.bsky.social, Canada's former ambassador to Germany, and chair of the Foreign Affair Committee or with @ypwoo.bsky.social, an economic with expertise in the Asia-Pacific relations. #cdnpoli

If you're from the Ottawa area, I recommend following @senclement.bsky.social, aka Bernadette Clement, former mayor of Cornwall, a Black francophone champion of social justice, and @kpateonthehill.bsky.social, aka Kim Pate, a long-time advocate for prison reform. #yow #cdnpoli
