Ahead of the 2015 Canadian elections, the Chinese Community Party (CCP) reportedly considered targeting Justin Trudeau, then the Liberal Party’s national leader, to be the recipient of a million-dollar “donation” via the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation, named after his father and former prime minister.

Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) sources told the Globe & Mail, on condition of anonymity, that a commercial attaché at a Chinese consulate in Canada instructed Zhang Bin, a billionaire political adviser to the CCP, to transfer $1 million to the Trudeau Foundation.

According to the conversation captured by CSIS, the Chinese government further added that it would reimburse Zhang for the political donation.

Canada’s largest airport says it will be implementing “hard limits” on the number of flights arriving or departing during March break and peak summer hours in a bid to reduce delays.

The Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA), which operates Toronto Pearson International Airport, said in an email that it will also cap the number of passengers that can arrive internationally or depart to the United States through each terminal in a given hour.

The changes will result in flights being rescheduled to keep the number of flights and passengers under the new caps.
