This is the biggest news story I’ve ever reported in my life. - Ezra Levant Justin Trudeau invited China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) to send its troops for cold weather training at CFB Petawawa in Ontario — and Trudeau raged at the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) for cancelling the training after China kidnapped Canadian citizens Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig. This is only one of many bombshell revelations in The China Files, a 34-page access to information document released by the Trudeau government to Rebel News. The entire document can be seen by clicking here, or by going to www.TheChinaFiles.com. Documents that normally would have been completely blacked out by government censors were instead greyed out — the documents remain completely readable. Rebel News has chosen to black out a very small portion that would otherwise compromise the safety of an individual.
Here’s how we got these secret documents: In April of 2019, we wrote to the government asking for any records corroborating a Russian report that Canada had sent a delegation to China for the 70th anniversary celebrations for the PLA Navy — a propaganda exercise held just months after the kidnapping of the two Michaels. The Trudeau government delayed replying to Rebel News for 19 months, but when they finally did, they not only confirmed their attendance at that macabre event, but listed other exchanges between the PLA and the CAF. Those include training Chinese commanders at the Canadian Forces College in Toronto, as well as other military facilities in Kingston. Chinese military participants included 1- and 2-star generals and an entire contingent who would learn Canadian cold weather military tactics. The CAF decision to cancel the cold weather training panicked Trudeau, who demanded that Canada’s military not cancel any more engagements with the PLA without explicit permission first, and that the news of the cancelled cold weather training had to be told to the PLA gently, to let them save face. Other revelations in the documents that were clearly meant to be redacted include: - disgraced cabinet minister Catherine McKenna jetted to China for a three-day conference just months after the two Michaels were taken hostage
- Trudeau sent nearly 200 CAF personnel to Wuhan in October of 2019 to participate in the Military World Games, a propaganda bonanza for China
- diplomatic reports that China is using its “belt and road” negotiations to demand that countries drop human rights complaints if they want trade deals
- Chinese censorship of Twitter use
- Chinese use of a smartphone app to track Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang
- bureaucrats' bizarre protocol of referring to accused fraudster and Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou as “Ms. Meng”, but refusing to even mention the two Michaels by name
- bureaucrats deriding concerns about military knowledge transfer to China as figments of the “Trump Administration”
Here’s a video summarizing the depth of the scandal: 
The China Files show that Trudeau’s submissive approach to China isn’t just his personal obsession — it’s the official policy of his entire government and it has deeply infected Canada’s civil service, too. Trudeau’s right-hand man, Ian Shugart, was tasked with silencing the CAF’s legitimate concerns about China, and forcing our military to continue acting as if China, not the U.S., was our most important ally. As a public service, Rebel News is publishing the documents in full in the hopes that other reporters will continue to unlock the truth about how Trudeau is turning Canada away from our democratic allies, and towards the world’s greatest dictatorship. I think this news is a disaster for our country. But the only worse disaster would be if Trudeau’s pro-China schemes were kept in the dark. We’re going to bring them into the light.
