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

Jeff Rath’s behaviour toward Danielle Smith is not a good look for this movement, and he does not speak for me.
When this started, I had respect for him. But as this has played out, it has become harder to ignore what appears to be a push for power inside the movement, not a sincere focus on Alberta independence.
Danielle Smith is a major reason Albertans were even able to collect signatures in the first place. Compared to any other premier in this country, I believe she has been the strongest one standing up for her province.
I will not forget her accomplishments.
She stood up for parental rights when others wanted schools keeping parents in the dark.
She took action against political ideology being pushed in classrooms.
She made sure kids got back to school when the system tried to hold families hostage.
She has strengthened Alberta Sheriffs and continued exploring ways to free Alberta from relying on the RCMP.
And that is only part of it.

Listening to Ganum today on the meeting that Premier Smith is having with Lukasek I am wondering why not just have his referendum on the vote in October? If enough say no to his question isn't it the same as a referendum that the other side wants? I for one want this to wake up the East and don't care how it happens. Another caller said she needs to call an provincial election in October and take the rest of questions off the ballot - this could be risky but I am leaning toward it as terrified that the NDP will get in again and right now Nemshi is their handicap IMHO.
