Border agents have intercepted tens of thousands in counterfeit currency from China

according to Jonathan McGrath, CBSA intelligence manager for Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland and Labrador.Officials have previously discovered counterfeit Canadian currency in the country with links to China.

In December 2023, RCMP seized hundreds of notes in PEI that included $100, $50 and $20 notes. The currency had Chinese symbols on it.
In 2022, RCMP charged one individual after police seized more than 10,000 counterfeit toonies in the Toronto area.
It is suspected that additional counterfeit coins made their way into the currency system.

The counterfeit coins have a “split-toe” on the right front paw of the polar bear, resembling a claw, RCMP said.Authentic Canadian bills have the following security features: the words “Bank of Canada”/“Banque du Canada” are raised and can be felt, the colour in the metallic portrait in the transparent window changes if the bill is tilted, the image in the metallic portrait in the transparent window will match the portrait on the front of the bill, and the numbers in and around the large window will match the value of the note.

CFIB also said authentic Canadian bank notes will have maple leaves around the border of the large window, and the frosted maple leaf window will have a transparent outline. The word “Canada” will also feel a little raised, according to CFIB.https://tinyurl.com/35knbs7s

​I. The Banker in the PMO
​You have famously stated on camera, "I'm a banker, not a career politician." That much is evident. Your leadership has treated Canada not as a sovereign nation of citizens, but as a balance sheet to be "optimized" for global investors. You are a technician for a vision that seeks to dismantle national independence in favor of the "variable geometry" of global power you promoted at Davos 2026.
​II. The Death of the Trades & The "Build Canada" Scam
​As someone who has worked in the trades for over 15 years, I see the "holes" in your Build Communities Strong Fund. You talk about "supercharging" homebuilding, but your policies are crushing the people who actually do the work:
​The Productivity Trap: You demand 500,000 homes a year while your "hidden" fuel taxes and inflation make it impossible for ...

Someone finally put the truth in print in a Red Deer obituary. She was 71.
" Six years ago. Val’s health began to be compromised. She battled every day to reverse the vaccine injury after long battle in excruciating pain."
