'Troubled' Eby seeks CSIS briefing on alleged Chinese meddling in Vancouver election
Posted: Mar. 17, 2023 11:11AMBritish Columbia Premier David Eby says he’s “very troubled” by allegations of Chinese interference in Vancouver’s municipal elections last year and he’s asked Canada’s intelligence agency for a briefing.
The premier says he’s asked for a “full briefing” by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service but he hasn’t received it yet. The report prompted Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim to say on Thursday that he was disgusted by its “insinuations,” and he wouldn’t be part of the conversation if he was Caucasian. He says that, for example, Elections BC has already brought forward recommendations to combat misinformation.
