1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,400 These are top secret documents showing how Justin Trudeau and his government are... 2 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:11,800 the Canadian Armed Forces to work closely with China's People's Liberation Army. 3 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:17,160 These documents show that even after China kidnapped two Canadian citizens, Michael... 4 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:23,679 and Michael Spavor, Trudeau still insisted that our military maintain warm ties with 5 00:00:23,679 --> 00:00:25,440 China's military. 6 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:30,760 Trudeau has made protecting the feelings of China's dictator, Xi Jinping, a priority 7 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,200 for our armed forces. 8 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,880 Maybe that doesn't surprise you, but these documents also reveal that Trudeau has been 9 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:45,000 sending Canadian troops to China to participate in that country's propagandist... 10 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:53,079 And most incredible of all, Canada has been training Chinese military troops at our... 11 00:00:53,079 --> 00:01:01,159 colleges in Canada and unbelievably training Chinese soldiers at Canadian forces based 12 00:01:01,159 --> 00:01:05,959 Petawawa in how to wage cold weather warfare. 13 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,959 Trudeau is literally training our enemies in how to kill us. 14 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,039 And I'll prove it to you. 15 00:01:11,039 --> 00:01:17,359 You're watching The China Files on Rebel News. 16 00:01:17,359 --> 00:01:21,200 My name is Ezra Levant and I'm a Canadian journalist and author. 17 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,640 I'm a skeptic of Justin Trudeau, Canada's Liberal Prime Minister. 18 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,480 Last year I wrote a book about him called The Lebranos. 19 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:35,040 This year I wrote a book about him called China Virus, how Justin Trudeau's... 20 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,960 ideology is putting Canadians in danger. 21 00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:41,800 But even I didn't know the half of it. 22 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,500 I've never held a top secret document in my hands before. 23 00:01:45,500 --> 00:01:48,159 This one is marked secret in so many places. 24 00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:51,599 In some parts it says Canadian Eyes Only. 25 00:01:51,599 --> 00:01:54,439 Other parts are marked Five Eyes Only. 26 00:01:54,439 --> 00:01:59,039 That's the name of our intelligence alliance amongst our closest allies. 27 00:01:59,039 --> 00:02:02,920 Canada plus the United States, the UK, Australia and New Zealand. 28 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,359 I wonder what they're going to think of all this. 29 00:02:06,359 --> 00:02:10,359 The China Files, as I call them, are 34 pages long. 30 00:02:10,359 --> 00:02:14,879 I didn't steal them or hack them, nor were they leaked to me illegally. 31 00:02:14,879 --> 00:02:19,039 They were actually just given to me by Global Affairs Canada. 32 00:02:19,039 --> 00:02:21,599 That's the official name of the Foreign Affairs Department. 33 00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:28,439 You can see the entire document, all the files for yourself at thechinafiles.com. 34 00:02:28,439 --> 00:02:33,280 I'm making the whole thing available to you and to any other reporters who want to report 35 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:34,620 on this. 36 00:02:34,620 --> 00:02:40,079 Something tells me Trudeau's CBC state broadcaster is going to skip this one, don... 37 00:02:40,079 --> 00:02:44,400 The documents are not blacked out as most secret documents are. 38 00:02:44,719 --> 00:02:47,840 You can't read the interesting parts, but not these. 39 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,599 They're all just slightly greyed out. 40 00:02:51,599 --> 00:02:53,040 So you can still read them. 41 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,360 In fact, if you assume that what's greyed out is the stuff they really don't want you 42 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:02,159 to know, it makes the reading even more revealing because you see what they really... 43 00:03:02,159 --> 00:03:03,159 sensitive. 44 00:03:03,159 --> 00:03:06,640 Now there's nothing in here about Canada's military secrets. 45 00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:09,759 The greyed out parts weren't trying to hide that stuff. 46 00:03:09,759 --> 00:03:15,679 They were trying to hide how submissive Trudeau is to China and what he's trying t... 47 00:03:15,679 --> 00:03:17,719 military to do. 48 00:03:17,719 --> 00:03:20,519 That's what's marked in grey, but not in black. 49 00:03:20,519 --> 00:03:23,519 By the way, I would never put Canadian troops in danger. 50 00:03:23,519 --> 00:03:29,859 There actually is one source who was identified in these papers who might be... 51 00:03:29,859 --> 00:03:32,280 so I blacked out that info. 52 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,479 The rest, it's just politics that you need to know. 53 00:03:36,479 --> 00:03:40,000 So I don't know, maybe it was human error on the government's part to send this to 54 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,000 me. 55 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,560 Maybe someone on the inside wanted the information to get out. 56 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,359 A whistleblower perhaps. 57 00:03:45,359 --> 00:03:51,639 Because I only asked one very small question and they answered it with these 34 pages. 58 00:03:51,639 --> 00:03:58,439 Back in April of 2019, I saw this story in a Russian state-run propaganda website called 59 00:03:58,439 --> 00:04:01,759 Sputnik. 60 00:04:01,759 --> 00:04:06,959 Representatives from over 60 countries arrived in China for International Naval... 61 00:04:06,959 --> 00:04:09,679 That's the headline, I'll read a little bit. 62 00:04:09,679 --> 00:04:13,719 Representatives from the Navy of 61 countries arrived in the Chinese eastern port city 63 00:04:13,719 --> 00:04:20,639 of Qingdao in order to attend the international parade celebrating the 70th... 64 00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:29,480 the Chinese People's Liberation Army, PLA Navy, Vice Admiral Shen Jinlong said. 65 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:36,040 And here's a tweet from the city of Qingdao showing some of China's naval might and... 66 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,759 trees coming to celebrate it. 67 00:04:38,759 --> 00:04:43,720 Now I expected Russia to be there and China's African colonies, but the sentence caught 68 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,180 my eye. 69 00:04:45,180 --> 00:04:46,480 This one here. 70 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:52,319 High ranking representatives from Canada, Germany, India, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, 71 00:04:52,319 --> 00:04:57,120 and the United States and the United Kingdom are also in attendance at the event. 72 00:04:57,759 --> 00:04:59,319 Whoa, Canada was there? 73 00:04:59,319 --> 00:05:01,600 And the US too under Donald Trump? 74 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:02,639 I didn't believe it. 75 00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:06,360 To celebrate China's military power. 76 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:07,360 Actually no. 77 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,800 Here's the real story from Business Insider. 78 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:16,759 The US is passing on sending ships to the Chinese Navy's big 70th anniversary parade 79 00:05:16,759 --> 00:05:18,920 in an apparent snub. 80 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:23,720 Basically, America sent their top spy in China, let me quote. 81 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:29,880 The US however will only send a defense attache from the US embassy in Beijing. 82 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,120 Okay, so they sent a spy. 83 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:33,120 So what about Canada? 84 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,320 Remember, look at the date on this Sputnik story. 85 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,020 April 2019. 86 00:05:38,020 --> 00:05:43,800 So that was just a few months after China took the two Michaels hostage. 87 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:49,520 Did Justin Trudeau really send a celebration delegation to cheer for communist China's 88 00:05:50,519 --> 00:05:54,919 right after two kidnapped Canadians were thrown in the Chinese jail? 89 00:05:54,919 --> 00:05:59,000 I checked the website of the Canadian embassy in China. 90 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,680 They didn't say a thing about attending this parade. 91 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,899 No press releases out of Ottawa. 92 00:06:03,899 --> 00:06:08,180 So was it true what the Russian propaganda website said about Canada? 93 00:06:08,180 --> 00:06:09,639 Was it partly true? 94 00:06:09,639 --> 00:06:13,159 Like how the US did send someone but it was really a spy? 95 00:06:13,159 --> 00:06:15,120 Or was this just Russian propaganda? 96 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:21,000 So we filed an access to information request as we do hundreds of times a year asking 97 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,759 for any documents that would shed light on the question. 98 00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:29,120 Of course, we thought such documents would be redacted for national security secrets, 99 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,879 but attending a communist parade is something we had the right to know. 100 00:06:33,879 --> 00:06:35,280 Now we heard back pretty quick. 101 00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:42,259 They refused to answer our question before the 2019 Canadian election was over. 102 00:06:42,259 --> 00:06:45,980 It's an illegal delay, but they do that all the time. 103 00:06:45,980 --> 00:06:48,500 Well the election is over, plus a year. 104 00:06:48,500 --> 00:06:54,219 And so now, 19 months after we asked the question, we finally heard back from the... 105 00:06:54,219 --> 00:07:00,980 and instead of just telling us about the parade, they told us everything else too. 106 00:07:00,980 --> 00:07:02,019 You saw my question. 107 00:07:02,019 --> 00:07:04,300 It was about the Navy parade. 108 00:07:04,300 --> 00:07:10,259 Well they sent me the entire calendar of events for the Canadian embassy in Beijing... 109 00:07:10,259 --> 00:07:12,180 to December of 2019. 110 00:07:12,180 --> 00:07:13,860 And it's all grayed out. 111 00:07:13,860 --> 00:07:16,939 I think they meant to black out the whole thing. 112 00:07:16,939 --> 00:07:24,300 But look, April 22nd to 25, PLA Navy 70th anniversary fleet review, Qingdao. 113 00:07:24,300 --> 00:07:26,620 They did indeed go. 114 00:07:26,620 --> 00:07:28,360 Canada sent a colonel. 115 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:32,139 That would have answered my question, but look at what else is on the calendar. 116 00:07:32,139 --> 00:07:37,699 All the celebrations and parties that the Canadian embassy was having just months after 117 00:07:37,699 --> 00:07:41,300 the kidnapping of the two Michaels in Beijing. 118 00:07:41,340 --> 00:07:46,620 You can see the calendar show that Catherine McKenna jetted into Hangzhou for some global 119 00:07:46,620 --> 00:07:48,980 warming festival in June. 120 00:07:48,980 --> 00:07:54,740 What a horrific woman, flying to China to party while two Canadians were rotting in 121 00:07:54,740 --> 00:07:55,920 a Chinese prison. 122 00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:01,699 You'll notice that event in particular was under a dark gray highlight. 123 00:08:01,699 --> 00:08:04,180 I can understand why they wanted to hide that. 124 00:08:04,180 --> 00:08:06,340 It's not a national security issue. 125 00:08:06,340 --> 00:08:08,699 It's a national shame issue. 126 00:08:08,699 --> 00:08:13,459 The bureaucrats at Foreign Affairs knew it was disgraceful for McKenna to fly to 127 00:08:13,459 --> 00:08:15,659 China to go to a party. 128 00:08:15,659 --> 00:08:22,779 And look, in October 2019, Canada sent a massive delegation of Canadian Armed Force... 129 00:08:22,779 --> 00:08:27,259 to participate in China's military world games in Wuhan. 130 00:08:27,259 --> 00:08:28,259 I'm serious. 131 00:08:28,259 --> 00:08:33,340 114 Canadian athletes, 57 Canadian coaches, they're all from the military. 132 00:08:33,340 --> 00:08:36,860 I actually had to get those details from the Chinese embassy. 133 00:08:36,860 --> 00:08:43,039 You see, the Chinese propaganda mission for nearly 200 Canadian Forces personnel, this 134 00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:47,659 whole games was just a propaganda exercise, that was kept secret by the Canadian... 135 00:08:47,659 --> 00:08:49,980 I had to learn about it from the Chinese government. 136 00:08:49,980 --> 00:08:55,220 Trudeau sent over a massive delegation to show respect to China's army, to be filmed 137 00:08:55,220 --> 00:09:01,539 for China propaganda movies, showing that China so dominates the world that Canadian 138 00:09:01,539 --> 00:09:08,339 soldiers came to bend the knee even as China holds Canadians prisoner. 139 00:09:08,339 --> 00:09:11,539 So you'd think that's all I would have been sent. 140 00:09:11,539 --> 00:09:12,620 The calendar. 141 00:09:12,620 --> 00:09:14,319 It answered my question. 142 00:09:14,319 --> 00:09:16,620 Was the Russian propaganda correct? 143 00:09:16,620 --> 00:09:19,819 Did Canada send someone to celebrate China's Navy? 144 00:09:19,819 --> 00:09:20,819 And the answer was yes. 145 00:09:20,819 --> 00:09:27,000 I think it's telling that Trudeau hid that for 19 months and that we had to find out 146 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,219 about it from Russia. 147 00:09:28,220 --> 00:09:32,540 I think Trudeau knows he was doing something disgraceful and maybe the person who sent 148 00:09:32,540 --> 00:09:34,700 me these documents agrees. 149 00:09:34,700 --> 00:09:36,899 So that's all I asked for. 150 00:09:36,899 --> 00:09:39,340 But here's what else I got. 151 00:09:39,340 --> 00:09:44,840 I got internal memos showing how China is demanding that democracies back down on... 152 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,320 any reference to human rights in trade deals. 153 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:53,220 Internal reports about how China is using its so-called Belt and Road Initiative to 154 00:09:54,220 --> 00:09:59,500 the world to build a China centric economic and political empire. 155 00:09:59,500 --> 00:10:06,060 How China is changing diplomacy itself, replacing the idea of multilateralism, whi... 156 00:10:06,060 --> 00:10:10,300 the next to the round table where every country equally deals with each other... 157 00:10:10,300 --> 00:10:11,779 at the United Nations. 158 00:10:11,779 --> 00:10:18,019 China is replacing that with something China calls multibilateralism, with China in the 159 00:10:18,019 --> 00:10:23,220 middle of the world, like a hub with a bunch of spokes going to each other country. 160 00:10:23,220 --> 00:10:27,460 So no more international meetings like the G7, for example. 161 00:10:27,460 --> 00:10:31,279 China style meetings have China in the center and all other countries have to go through 162 00:10:31,279 --> 00:10:33,659 it to deal with the others. 163 00:10:33,659 --> 00:10:34,659 That's interesting. 164 00:10:34,659 --> 00:10:39,819 Something else I learned was how badly the Canadian government censors itself about... 165 00:10:39,819 --> 00:10:43,600 by looking at the sort of things that they wanted to block us from seeing, the grayed 166 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,320 because they didn't want Xi Jinping to lose face. 167 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,000 Canada is sticking up for the Chinese president. 168 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,879 Why are they afraid that Xi Jinping will see that they're calling out his censorship 169 00:10:56,879 --> 00:10:59,879 under the great firewall of China? 170 00:10:59,879 --> 00:11:02,600 Why did they want to keep that hidden? 171 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:08,259 Why is Trudeau trying to cover up the fact that China is censoring Twitter? 172 00:11:08,259 --> 00:11:13,819 The Canadian government mentions an allegation by an NGO that China is using... 173 00:11:13,819 --> 00:11:17,299 to track Muslims in Xinjiang province. 174 00:11:17,299 --> 00:11:23,700 Why did they cover up the fact that the Canadian embassy has, quote, seen this app... 175 00:11:23,700 --> 00:11:26,259 at police checkpoints in Xinjiang? 176 00:11:26,259 --> 00:11:32,519 Why is Trudeau literally covering up atrocities for China? 177 00:11:32,519 --> 00:11:35,939 There's enough in here for at least three other videos. 178 00:11:35,940 --> 00:11:42,740 And I will do those in the days ahead and publish them on thechinafiles.com. 179 00:11:42,740 --> 00:11:44,940 It's just so much to go through here. 180 00:11:44,940 --> 00:11:47,780 This document will take weeks to work through. 181 00:11:47,780 --> 00:11:52,900 So for the rest of this video, I want to talk about just one thing, the most shocking... 182 00:11:52,900 --> 00:11:54,680 in it. 183 00:11:54,680 --> 00:11:59,060 These papers show an internal battle within the Canadian government over how to deal with 184 00:11:59,060 --> 00:12:03,180 China in the wake of the kidnapping of the two Michaels. 185 00:12:03,179 --> 00:12:09,099 On one side of this political battle is China, Trudeau, his pro-China ambassador a... 186 00:12:09,099 --> 00:12:15,639 time, John McCallum, and senior bureaucrats, including this man, Ian Sugart, who used 187 00:12:15,639 --> 00:12:21,399 to run foreign affairs for Trudeau, and who has since been promoted as Trudeau's top 188 00:12:21,399 --> 00:12:23,500 civil servant. 189 00:12:23,500 --> 00:12:27,399 His title is the chief of the Privy Council. 190 00:12:27,399 --> 00:12:28,399 That's on the China side. 191 00:12:28,399 --> 00:12:32,699 And on the other side of this political battle is the Canadian Armed Forces, the... 192 00:12:32,700 --> 00:12:38,379 of National Defense, and our Five Eyes allies, including the U.S. 193 00:12:38,379 --> 00:12:39,379 It's incredible. 194 00:12:39,379 --> 00:12:43,140 And folks, the China side seems to be winning. 195 00:12:43,140 --> 00:12:48,320 The battle I'm going to show you centered on a memo that the Trudeau China team was 196 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:57,220 drafting to be signed by Ian Sugart, telling the military to obey them and to keep warm 197 00:12:58,220 --> 00:13:03,100 with the People's Liberation Army even after the kidnapping of the two Michaels. 198 00:13:03,100 --> 00:13:08,820 So all the bureaucrats were trying to tie down and tie up the Canadian military, which 199 00:13:08,820 --> 00:13:13,960 was clearly disgusted by China, and naturally wanted to stand with our real allies instead. 200 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,620 So the battle was over this memo. 201 00:13:16,620 --> 00:13:20,200 Memorandum for action, it says. 202 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,420 And you see it's marked secret CEO. 203 00:13:23,420 --> 00:13:25,700 That means Canadian eyes only. 204 00:13:25,700 --> 00:13:27,540 So I'll go through it. 205 00:13:27,540 --> 00:13:29,960 Two, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs. 206 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,940 At the time, that was Ian Sugart. 207 00:13:31,940 --> 00:13:39,259 CCIFMOGM, that's an alphabet soup for the Political Affairs Branch and the Asia Branch 208 00:13:39,259 --> 00:13:40,700 of Foreign Affairs. 209 00:13:40,700 --> 00:13:46,420 Subject, Deputy Minister level guidance from Global Affairs Canada with respect to... 210 00:13:46,420 --> 00:13:51,780 of National Defense, Canadian Armed Forces engagements with China's People's Liberation 211 00:13:51,780 --> 00:13:52,780 Army. 212 00:13:52,780 --> 00:13:54,740 So I read out the acronyms there. 213 00:13:54,779 --> 00:13:59,620 So this is the memo put to the Deputy Minister for him to sign. 214 00:13:59,620 --> 00:14:03,019 This is directing the army to play nice with China. 215 00:14:03,019 --> 00:14:04,659 Let me read the contents of this memo. 216 00:14:04,659 --> 00:14:10,340 As you can see, I'm reading out the full acronyms because otherwise it's just so ma... 217 00:14:10,340 --> 00:14:11,340 letters. 218 00:14:11,340 --> 00:14:16,379 But it's hard to see this because of all the shading, the gray shading. 219 00:14:16,379 --> 00:14:18,220 But you can read it all. 220 00:14:18,220 --> 00:14:22,720 You can go to our website, thechinafiles.com and see the primary document yourself. 221 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,139 So I'll read some of it now for you. 222 00:14:24,299 --> 00:14:26,500 It's a little hard to see, but you can see it. 223 00:14:27,500 --> 00:14:32,379 Summary, and note how this is 90% grayed out. 224 00:14:32,379 --> 00:14:38,220 On December 21st, so that would be in 2018, right after the two Michaels were kidnapped, 225 00:14:38,220 --> 00:14:42,699 the Department of National Defense requested Deputy Minister level guidance with respect 226 00:14:42,699 --> 00:14:49,419 to Department of National Defense, Canadian Armed Forces bilateral engagements with... 227 00:14:49,419 --> 00:14:53,459 Department of Defense Canadian Armed Forces is reviewing its posture and commitments 228 00:14:53,459 --> 00:14:58,699 to its engagements with the People's Liberation Army, in part due to Chinese... 229 00:14:58,699 --> 00:15:06,339 the US extradition request for Miss Meng Wanzhou and the resulting Canadian consula... 230 00:15:06,339 --> 00:15:07,339 Stop right there for a second. 231 00:15:07,339 --> 00:15:08,339 Isn't it funny? 232 00:15:08,339 --> 00:15:14,699 This memo mentions Miss Meng Wanzhou by name, but won't even say the names of the two... 233 00:15:14,699 --> 00:15:18,539 won't even say they're prisoners, hostages really. 234 00:15:18,539 --> 00:15:23,740 It's disgraceful the way they talk even in private in the government, but get this. 235 00:15:23,740 --> 00:15:28,139 Thus far the Chief of the Defense Staff has unilaterally elected not to proceed with 236 00:15:28,139 --> 00:15:37,819 one bilateral military activity training exercise planned for 2019, a winter surviv... 237 00:15:37,819 --> 00:15:42,539 China, People's Liberation Army has not yet been informed of this decision. 238 00:15:44,539 --> 00:15:45,539 I'm stunned. 239 00:15:46,539 --> 00:15:47,539 I'm serious. 240 00:15:47,539 --> 00:15:55,059 Did you know that Canada had a bilateral military training exercise with China? 241 00:15:55,059 --> 00:15:57,019 Bilateral means one-on-one. 242 00:15:57,019 --> 00:15:58,740 It's just Canada and China there. 243 00:15:58,740 --> 00:16:01,579 And apparently we do a number of these. 244 00:16:01,579 --> 00:16:08,179 So just Canada and China training together our NATO allies not invited, the Americans 245 00:16:08,179 --> 00:16:13,939 who have subsidized our Canadian national defense for decades throughout the Cold War, 246 00:16:13,940 --> 00:16:18,340 throughout the war on terror, the Americans, our greatest friends and allies. 247 00:16:18,340 --> 00:16:21,540 We kick them out and we're hanging out with China's soldiers instead. 248 00:16:21,540 --> 00:16:25,060 We're inviting China's soldiers to learn our military secrets. 249 00:16:25,060 --> 00:16:30,780 And now the Chief of Defense Staff wants to put one, just one such exercise on hold. 250 00:16:30,780 --> 00:16:36,500 The cold weather warfare session where we train China how to beat us in Canada, how 251 00:16:36,500 --> 00:16:42,300 we train China how to beat India in their mountain battle that's been going on for... 252 00:16:42,299 --> 00:16:45,500 The Chief of Defense Staff thinks that maybe we ought to put that on hold. 253 00:16:45,500 --> 00:16:47,579 And here's what the Trudeaucrats write. 254 00:16:47,579 --> 00:16:53,979 They say, while resolving the consular cases is the government of Canada's top priority. 255 00:16:53,979 --> 00:16:57,500 Again, they won't say Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor's names. 256 00:16:57,500 --> 00:16:59,939 They just won't. 257 00:16:59,939 --> 00:17:03,939 While resolving the consular cases is the government of Canada's top priority, ensuring 258 00:17:03,939 --> 00:17:11,059 a certain amount of continuity in other parts of the Canada-China relationship remains... 259 00:17:11,059 --> 00:17:15,659 Given the heightened scrutiny, any decision by Canada to reduce or cut ties should be 260 00:17:15,659 --> 00:17:21,500 carefully considered to avoid sending any unhelpful or unintended messages. 261 00:17:21,500 --> 00:17:25,379 So Trudeau and his staff are lecturing the Army. 262 00:17:25,379 --> 00:17:28,519 Don't you dare stand up for Canadian values. 263 00:17:28,519 --> 00:17:32,419 Don't you dare stand up for two Canadians illegally kidnapped. 264 00:17:32,419 --> 00:17:35,179 You keep pretending everything is just fine. 265 00:17:35,179 --> 00:17:37,440 That's an order. 266 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,339 And that's what the rest of the memo is about. 267 00:17:40,419 --> 00:17:46,939 The bureaucrats instructing the Chief of Defense Staff that he is not allowed to cu... 268 00:17:46,939 --> 00:17:50,859 joint programs with the People's Liberation Army without Trudeau's permission first. 269 00:17:50,859 --> 00:17:52,939 Let me read some more. 270 00:17:52,939 --> 00:17:57,500 In the interest of avoiding such a scenario, a letter has been drafted on your behalf for 271 00:17:57,500 --> 00:18:02,899 Department of National Defense's Deputy Minister Thomas that will provide guidance... 272 00:18:02,899 --> 00:18:05,099 with Canada's current approach to China. 273 00:18:05,099 --> 00:18:06,720 Look at that. 274 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:11,799 If they really had blacked out the gray parts here, you would have no idea what this is 275 00:18:11,799 --> 00:18:12,799 about. 276 00:18:12,799 --> 00:18:13,799 You know nothing. 277 00:18:13,799 --> 00:18:17,319 You wouldn't know that our Army trains the Chinese troops. 278 00:18:17,319 --> 00:18:22,759 You wouldn't know the Army wanted to cancel only one of several joint training sessions. 279 00:18:22,759 --> 00:18:28,120 And you wouldn't know that deeply enraged Trudeau and the whole liberal bureaucracy 280 00:18:28,120 --> 00:18:32,160 who wanted to handcuff the Chief of Defense Staff and force him to continue working with 281 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:37,680 Chinese Army troops unless he was given explicit permission otherwise. 282 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,980 So that's the cover letter to the memo. 283 00:18:39,980 --> 00:18:41,880 And then they have their arguments. 284 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,820 And I know this video is getting long, but frankly, it's all leading to this. 285 00:18:45,820 --> 00:18:46,820 Look at this part. 286 00:18:46,820 --> 00:18:50,360 Look at the very, very dark part in paragraph two. 287 00:18:50,360 --> 00:18:53,940 I'll read it out if you can't quite see it. 288 00:18:53,940 --> 00:18:59,400 The review is also driven by concerns expressed by the United States military th... 289 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:08,800 one element of Canada-China military collaboration planned for 2019 risks... 290 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:14,560 knowledge transfer from Canada to the PLA. 291 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:15,560 That's it. 292 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:16,560 That's everything right there. 293 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,759 It's very dark, but you can see it if you look carefully. 294 00:19:19,759 --> 00:19:23,680 Look for yourself at thechinafiles.com. 295 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:30,120 Trudeau was making the Canadian Armed Forces give private military training to China on 296 00:19:30,120 --> 00:19:32,860 a Canadian forces base in Ontario. 297 00:19:32,860 --> 00:19:36,779 And America said, whoa, you're teaching him our secrets. 298 00:19:36,779 --> 00:19:40,640 And instead of Canada saying, you're right, what are we thinking? 299 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,799 The entire Trudeau government says, yeah, you stupid Americans, we're with China now. 300 00:19:44,799 --> 00:19:45,799 That's what this memo means. 301 00:19:45,799 --> 00:19:50,920 I mean, just ask our ambassador to China at the time, John McCallum. 302 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,960 He's mentioned in these files. 303 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:58,360 He's curious when he was asked about Canada-China relations and on what terms. 304 00:19:58,360 --> 00:20:04,860 Within 24 hours of arriving in China, I was invited to present my credentials to... 305 00:20:04,860 --> 00:20:06,480 Xi Jinping. 306 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:11,920 And I conveyed to him a message from our prime minister that can be summarized in... 307 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,319 more, more, more. 308 00:20:14,319 --> 00:20:17,160 Or in Mandarin, gung-dua, gung-dua, gung-dua. 309 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:22,660 You know, McCallum actually said Canada has more in common with China than with the... 310 00:20:22,900 --> 00:20:23,900 States. 311 00:20:23,900 --> 00:20:24,900 He said that. 312 00:20:24,900 --> 00:20:29,840 So paragraph four repeats that the winter survival training course is canceled. 313 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,100 But Trudeau was worried it would hurt China's feelings. 314 00:20:33,100 --> 00:20:35,500 Let me read. 315 00:20:35,500 --> 00:20:39,540 Department of National Defense agreed that Global Affairs Canada would be consulted... 316 00:20:39,540 --> 00:20:44,420 this decision is communicated to China in order to shape messaging in advance and... 317 00:20:44,420 --> 00:20:49,320 for ongoing sensitivities in bilateral relations. 318 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,720 Paragraph five is about the Navy parade in Qingdao. 319 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,279 The one I was curious about. 320 00:20:53,279 --> 00:20:54,759 And it's threatening the military. 321 00:20:54,759 --> 00:20:56,799 They can't make the decision on their own. 322 00:20:56,799 --> 00:20:59,600 They have to confer with Trudeau. 323 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:04,519 Paragraph six says that any changes between the Canada-People's Liberation Army... 324 00:21:04,519 --> 00:21:08,960 must be approved by Trudeau's China-loving bureaucrats and diplomats first. 325 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,480 More, more, more. 326 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,279 Yeah, more, more, more is what they want. 327 00:21:13,279 --> 00:21:16,519 The memo basically says the same thing five more times. 328 00:21:16,519 --> 00:21:19,360 But look at paragraph 15. 329 00:21:19,439 --> 00:21:24,519 Should Canada make significant reductions in its military engagement with China, China 330 00:21:24,519 --> 00:21:30,639 will likely read this as a retaliatory move related to the Meng Wanzhou case. 331 00:21:30,639 --> 00:21:35,240 No, not Meng Wanzhou, you immoral cadds. 332 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,959 Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig say their names. 333 00:21:38,959 --> 00:21:46,240 We wouldn't be retaliating against China because we lawfully arrested a billionaire... 334 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:50,160 the CFO of Huawei, Meng Wanzhou, because she was accused of bank fraud. 335 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:55,079 And she's living the high life in Vancouver, out and about in that lovely city. 336 00:21:55,079 --> 00:21:58,720 We wouldn't be retaliating for her. 337 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:03,920 Imagine the person giving moral direction to our military worried about her. 338 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:04,920 No, we're not worried about her. 339 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,160 We're worried about the two Canadians that were kidnapped by China. 340 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,359 I'll keep reading. 341 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:26,120 Oh, so China can pout by, say, canceling port visits that US Navy ships used to dock 342 00:22:26,120 --> 00:22:27,720 in Hong Kong. 343 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:33,440 But Trudeau is telling our military we're not allowed to do that to express our... 344 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:40,680 And just in case you missed it, they drafted a letter marked secret, CEO, which means... 345 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,880 eyes only, that said this. 346 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:50,120 Canada does not want to be the partner that is reducing normal bilateral interactions. 347 00:22:50,120 --> 00:22:52,799 Yeah, we're not, buddy. 348 00:22:52,799 --> 00:22:56,200 They're the ones who kidnapped our citizens. 349 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,519 We're not the ones degrading the relationship. 350 00:22:59,519 --> 00:23:03,240 And more threats that the Army had better check with Trudeau diplomats before canceling 351 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,539 or reducing anything like the winter warfare training school. 352 00:23:06,539 --> 00:23:09,920 And then look at the last two pages in the whole file. 353 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:14,759 In the last two pages of the memo, NX2, it's called. 354 00:23:14,759 --> 00:23:19,440 It's marked unclassified because it's a list of engagements between the Canadian Armed 355 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,019 Forces and China's People's Liberation Army. 356 00:23:22,019 --> 00:23:24,400 So how could it possibly be classified? 357 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:30,920 We're literally inviting an enemy army to Canada to train with us. 358 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,340 And yet they grayed out the first item. 359 00:23:33,340 --> 00:23:38,080 So you and I weren't meant to see this, but China knows all about it, of course. 360 00:23:38,079 --> 00:23:43,679 The Chinese personnel, a members participate in winter survival training at CFB Petawawa, 361 00:23:43,679 --> 00:23:46,039 Canadian Forces Base Petawawa. 362 00:23:46,039 --> 00:23:47,039 Now it's small. 363 00:23:47,039 --> 00:23:48,399 It's not hundreds of soldiers. 364 00:23:48,399 --> 00:23:51,199 It's six to eight personnel per country. 365 00:23:51,199 --> 00:23:56,480 But you only need one spy to learn our winter warfare secrets. 366 00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:04,099 We actually invite six to eight Chinese spies to take notes and to study and to learn... 367 00:24:04,099 --> 00:24:06,519 And they don't even have to do so secretly. 368 00:24:06,519 --> 00:24:12,859 We actually invited them to teach them on purpose our secrets to fighting in the cold. 369 00:24:12,859 --> 00:24:14,599 And that's not all. 370 00:24:14,599 --> 00:24:21,099 PLA in Canada, Military Education Commanders Dialogue. 371 00:24:21,099 --> 00:24:27,079 So we're teaching one star and two star Chinese generals how to properly train the... 372 00:24:27,079 --> 00:24:28,079 Why are we doing that? 373 00:24:28,079 --> 00:24:30,200 And look at the next page. 374 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:37,279 PLA members attend the Canadian Security Studies Program at CFC Toronto. 375 00:24:37,279 --> 00:24:39,360 That's the Canadian Forces College. 376 00:24:39,360 --> 00:24:41,640 That's where we train our top men and women. 377 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,920 Now we're training China's top men. 378 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,039 And we're inviting them right in there. 379 00:24:47,039 --> 00:24:49,920 A couple of senior colonels, it says. 380 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,559 They can't believe their luck. 381 00:24:51,559 --> 00:24:56,120 I mean, whether they're planting listening devices or just making notes of people to 382 00:24:56,119 --> 00:25:01,439 corrupt, why are we inviting the enemy into the place where we make our own soldiers? 383 00:25:01,439 --> 00:25:03,519 I'll read some more. 384 00:25:03,519 --> 00:25:06,639 There's a couple more at the Military College in Kingston, too. 385 00:25:06,639 --> 00:25:07,639 Do you see that? 386 00:25:07,639 --> 00:25:11,939 And I didn't even show you all the sessions that Canadian soldiers are sent to do in... 387 00:25:11,939 --> 00:25:18,619 to teach China, to train China, and to be spied on by China in China. 388 00:25:18,619 --> 00:25:21,079 Did you know we were doing any of this? 389 00:25:21,079 --> 00:25:22,879 Any of this? 390 00:25:22,879 --> 00:25:23,939 This memo's outrageous. 391 00:25:23,940 --> 00:25:28,620 It's outrageous for what it describes as normal that we're giving one-on-one training 392 00:25:28,620 --> 00:25:31,220 sessions to our enemy's commanders. 393 00:25:31,220 --> 00:25:36,820 But even more so that the moment the military says, oh, we should probably cool things off, 394 00:25:36,820 --> 00:25:43,980 we should gear down, well, you've got a full court press by Trudeau to not change a thing. 395 00:25:43,980 --> 00:25:45,220 That's the memo they're fighting over. 396 00:25:45,220 --> 00:25:47,299 That's a lot of what the rest of these documents show. 397 00:25:47,299 --> 00:25:50,700 I'll invite you to read them for yourself at thechinafiles.com. 398 00:25:50,700 --> 00:25:52,740 But look at this. 399 00:25:52,740 --> 00:25:56,339 The rest are now fighting over this proposed memo, right? 400 00:25:56,339 --> 00:26:00,299 Which is basically Trudeau telling the army to put China first. 401 00:26:00,299 --> 00:26:03,680 So they're battling over the wording of the memo. 402 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:10,140 So a Trudeau bureaucrat in charge of China policy named Nicola Payne writes, we are in 403 00:26:10,140 --> 00:26:14,380 the process of reviewing the draft and had a couple of questions, comments. 404 00:26:14,380 --> 00:26:18,019 And it's all grayed out because it blames America. 405 00:26:18,019 --> 00:26:19,440 I'm serious. 406 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,000 Look at point two. 407 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,779 Our impression is that Department of National Defense, Canadian Armed Forces, reluctance 408 00:26:26,779 --> 00:26:32,599 to engage with the People's Liberation Army is not solely related to Ms. Meng's arrest 409 00:26:32,599 --> 00:26:35,160 and the consular cases. 410 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:39,119 There are other reasons behind their interest in disengaging. 411 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:45,480 From our perspective, it also perhaps to be related to a desire to be fully aligned with 412 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:52,180 Five Eyes, particularly the United States, whose approach has shifted under the Trump 413 00:26:52,180 --> 00:26:54,019 administration. 414 00:26:54,019 --> 00:26:57,940 We recall, for example, back in December, Department of National Defense, Canadian 415 00:26:57,940 --> 00:27:03,019 Armed Forces were keen to cancel the People's Liberation Army's participation in the winter 416 00:27:03,019 --> 00:27:09,579 survival training following the request from the U.S. Department of Defense to do so. 417 00:27:09,579 --> 00:27:13,059 That's what DOD stands for. 418 00:27:13,059 --> 00:27:14,059 So they're blaming Trump. 419 00:27:14,679 --> 00:27:18,419 They're saying only an idiot would stop training China in how to fight in cold... 420 00:27:18,419 --> 00:27:19,419 This is a Trump thing. 421 00:27:19,419 --> 00:27:20,419 Just ignore it. 422 00:27:20,419 --> 00:27:21,419 I'm serious. 423 00:27:21,419 --> 00:27:23,559 That's the meaning of this. 424 00:27:23,559 --> 00:27:27,700 So another bureaucrat named Antoine Nouveau writes back saying, I'll get back to you on 425 00:27:27,700 --> 00:27:34,000 that whole Trump thing, whether several Five Eyes countries have expressed concerns about 426 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,399 knowledge transfer versus the U.S. only. 427 00:27:37,399 --> 00:27:42,240 So they're trying to figure out, do they have to pay attention or not? 428 00:27:42,259 --> 00:27:47,859 If it's just the dummies in the Trump administration who are worried about Canad... 429 00:27:47,859 --> 00:27:51,180 our cold weather warfare secrets, Trudeau's fine with it. 430 00:27:51,180 --> 00:27:55,940 If the Brits or the Kiwis or the Aussies don't like it, maybe Trudeau will yield to... 431 00:27:55,940 --> 00:27:57,900 That's exactly what this means. 432 00:27:57,900 --> 00:28:01,740 Now, this goes back and forth amongst various bureaucrats. 433 00:28:01,740 --> 00:28:03,099 It's pretty clear. 434 00:28:03,099 --> 00:28:08,259 If some other country were objecting to Canada training the Chinese army, Canada... 435 00:28:08,259 --> 00:28:12,759 attention, but if it's just the U.S. that objects, Trudeau doesn't care about them. 436 00:28:12,759 --> 00:28:17,039 Look, I've only covered maybe 25% of all these files. 437 00:28:17,039 --> 00:28:20,879 I'm going to do more videos on completely different subjects in the days ahead. 438 00:28:20,879 --> 00:28:25,019 How Canada covers up China's spying on Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang. 439 00:28:25,019 --> 00:28:30,019 How China uses the Belt and Road Initiative to undermine rival diplomatic blocs and to 440 00:28:30,019 --> 00:28:32,000 neuter human rights concerns. 441 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:36,839 On how Canada's bureaucrats are afraid of offending Xi Jinping. 442 00:28:36,839 --> 00:28:42,720 Those are all important, but not as shocking to me as the revelation that Canada has been 443 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:49,899 training Chinese troops, colonels, generals, risking our military secrets. 444 00:28:49,899 --> 00:28:56,399 And Trudeau's main concern is that we don't offend China by disengaging and that we don't 445 00:28:56,399 --> 00:29:00,279 act if it's just the Americans who are worried. 446 00:29:00,279 --> 00:29:03,019 I've read and reread these memos again and again. 447 00:29:03,019 --> 00:29:10,400 What I don't see is a single voice fighting for Michael Spavor or Michael Kovrig. 448 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,319 Not a single voice promoting Canadian values abroad. 449 00:29:14,319 --> 00:29:17,099 Not even promoting Canadian interests. 450 00:29:17,099 --> 00:29:21,799 I see bureaucrats who see America as the enemy and China as the ally. 451 00:29:21,799 --> 00:29:26,480 Who think it's fine to participate in Chinese propaganda exercises, whether it's the naval 452 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,200 parade or the Wuhan military games. 453 00:29:29,259 --> 00:29:33,299 I actually didn't see a single national security secret in this whole mess. 454 00:29:33,299 --> 00:29:38,660 But I did see a lot of politics that Trudeau and his team probably want kept quiet. 455 00:29:38,660 --> 00:29:43,920 And what I saw is that memo putting our soldiers on a leash. 456 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:48,559 It was drafted for signature by a man named Ian Sugart. 457 00:29:48,559 --> 00:29:53,460 He was the top bureaucrat at foreign affairs and it was his job to put the military in 458 00:29:53,460 --> 00:29:55,420 its place. 459 00:29:55,420 --> 00:30:01,320 He's not there anymore because Trudeau just promoted him to be the top bureaucrat for 460 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:02,840 the entire liberal government. 461 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,400 The chief of the privy council. 462 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:09,680 He runs interference for Trudeau on every file now. 463 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:14,200 Whether it's on the Wee charity fiasco or telling soldiers that they have to train... 464 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,080 enemies. 465 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,320 How do you feel about what I've shown you today? 466 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:24,300 If you're still interested and want to read more, why not go over to thechinafiles.com. 467 00:30:24,519 --> 00:30:26,359 Read all the documents for yourself. 468 00:30:26,359 --> 00:30:30,480 I found it easier to read the gray parts when I actually printed it out on paper. 469 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,519 I've invited other journalists to study this document too. 470 00:30:33,519 --> 00:30:36,079 I don't know how many will. 471 00:30:36,079 --> 00:30:41,879 Like Trudeau and Ian Sugart, the media party is just fine with China. 472 00:30:41,879 --> 00:30:44,500 It's our military that they don't like. 473 00:30:44,500 --> 00:30:49,919 And the only thing they dislike more than our military is America's military. 474 00:30:49,919 --> 00:30:51,619 Go to thechinafiles.com. 475 00:30:51,619 --> 00:30:53,180 See for yourself. 476 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:57,519 And if you appreciate the work we're doing here at Rebel News, please chip in a bit 477 00:30:57,519 --> 00:30:59,680 on the crowdfunding button on that page. 478 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:04,320 Unlike Trudeau's CBC, we don't get a dime in government money. 479 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:08,519 Which is probably the only reason we're able to tell you the news like this. 480 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:15,200 These secret government documents show that Trudeau has been training Chinese military 481 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:19,279 troops here in Canada over U.S. objections. 482 00:31:19,279 --> 00:31:25,099 It's just one of a bunch of shocking revelations you can see for yourself at...
