CANADA UNDER SIEGE – The Hidden Battle for Prince Edward Island
For years, Prince Edward Island was a quiet place—its red cliffs, rolling fields, and tight-knit communities mostly untouched by the shadowy complexities of global politics. But beneath that postcard beauty, something deeper was brewing.
In the early 2000s, a wave of enthusiasm swept through the Island’s political and academic circles. Trade missions with China were hailed as visionary. Investment flowed in. A new couple—charismatic, connected, and tireless—emerged as the face of international cooperation, bringing Chinese capital and immigrants to P.E.I. through programs like the Provincial Nominee Program. New jobs. New wealth. A revitalized economy.
But did prosperity come at a hidden price?
Nearly 25 years later, Islanders began to whisper a new phrase—"United Front Work Department." What was it? And why did it suddenly seem so close to home?
When decorated intelligence veterans Garry Clement and Michel Juneau-Katsuya arrived on the Island for a book launch, they expected a modest crowd. Instead, they were met with standing-room-only audiences and probing, urgent questions. Islanders were worried. Rightfully so.
Clement and Juneau-Katsuya, with over seventy years of combined experience in law enforcement, national security, and counterintelligence, soon found themselves thrust into a deeper journalist investigation than they had ever imagined—one that would take them from Charlottetown to Washington, Munich, Taipei, and beyond.
What they uncovered shocked even them:
A major Border Services investigation suddenly and inexplicably shut down
A corrupt PNP or Provincial Nomination Program that paved the way for immigrants to get instant Permanent Residence for a 200,000 investment. Where did the money go?
Allegations of money laundering flowing through government programs and real estate purchases
Unexplained suicides, a kidnapping of a venerable Monk and a hotel functioning as the supposed residence of over 500 Chinese nationals, all to defraud the government.
A Buddhist monastery operating in P.E.I. with questionable affiliations—not recognized by the Dalai Lama, but its leader, who emerged out of China as leader of a Taiwan Buddhist group, but has spent virtually no time in Taiwan.
This is more than a story of espionage. It is a story of elite capture, of clandestine influence operations run from Beijing to Canada’s smallest province, and of a wake-up call for the rest of the nation.
As Clement and Juneau-Katsuya met with dissidents, government exiles, and global intelligence officials, they uncovered an alarming truth: P.E.I. may be a frontline in a global campaign of covert domination—a quiet province turned into a strategic beachhead.
Yet in the heart of this storm are the Islanders—resilient, proud, and fiercely protective of their home. These are people whose ancestors fought in both World Wars to defend freedom. Today, a new generation must rise to face a more subtle threat—one cloaked not in guns, but in investment portfolios and foreign policy handshakes.
PROJECT ANNE, as it was named, is a journalistic investigation, a chilling exposé and a rallying cry. A story of courage, corruption, and the thin red line between sovereignty and surrender.
P.E.I. may be small, but its story might just save a nation.
