The prime minister\u0027s unconvincing and uninformative answers totally fail in reassuring Canadians
, Global quoted sources according to which China has targeted Canada with a “vast campaign of foreign interference”, including:
Did China mount campaigns to “punish” politicians whom the Chinese authorities believe are hostile to its interests? Tuesday Mr. Trudeau attempted a diversion by attacking opposition MPs who dare ask questions regarding the Global story. “We’re beginning to see a little bit what we saw south of the border, people saying: ‘the elections were not legitimate, we lost because of other countries’ influence.’ This is a very serious allegation.”Article content
Attempting to reassure Canadians on the legitimacy of the latest federal elections, the Liberal leader referred to the reports issued by the Security and Intelligence Threats to Elections Task Force, a group put together by his government three years ago: “That committee clearly determined that the integrity of our elections was not compromised in 2019 or 2021.” Unfortunately, those reports have not been made public, so Canadians have to take Mr. Trudeau’s word for it.
Mr. Trudeau’s unconvincing and uninformative answers totally fail in reassuring Canadians that our democratic process is free from serious interference by China. Although this interference very probably had no effect on the overall results, the fact that it happened at all is concerning enough.
