An old photograph I treasure, taken by a person whose identity will never be known, shows a solemn young couple and their two children sitting on the grass in Montreal’s Fletcher’s Field, a stone throw’s away from heavily-wooded Mount Royal.
The woman, a hint of a smile on her face, balances a toddler on her thighs, her fingers grasping the girl’s chest. The man, both feet raised jauntily and his arms hanging loosely, sits in front of a boy dressed in a sailor’s suit.

Today, a new coordinated psychological operation has been sprung to convince every living patriot across the Five Eyes sphere of influence that the enemy of the free world who lurks behind every conspiracy to overthrow governments, and western values is.China.
Over the past weeks, a surge in slanderous, and often conjectural stories of Chinese subversion has repeatedly been fed to a gullible western audience desperate for an enemy image to attach to their realization that an obvious long-term conspiracy has been unleashed to destroy their lives.

Federal and provincial civil servants in Ottawa and across the country worked overtime throughout the holiday season, over weekends, and into the New Year.
The top federal and provincial immigration public servants engaged in daily conference calls.
When it was all said and done, many civil servants remarked that achieving this goal was the highlight of their careers.
