‘China is trying to interfere’ but Canadians alone determined recent elections: Trudeau
for Trudeau and his office more than a year before the 2019 federal election, alleging that Chinese agents were “assisting Canadian candidates running for political offices,” according to a Privy Council Office document reviewed by Global News.Trudeau has previously said thatwith the democracies of Canada and other Western countries.
“The fact that a Chinese diplomat would try to take credit for things that happen is not something that is unseen in diplomatic circles around the world. The fact is, the work that CSIS has done…will always ensure that any risks to our election or to the integrity of those elections get highlighted to Canadians,” Trudeau said Friday.
The Chinese Embassy in Ottawa has previously said China has always adhered to the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries. Under a federal protocol, there would be a public announcement if a panel of senior bureaucrats determined that an incident — or an accumulation of incidents — threatened Canada’s ability to have a free and fair election.There was no such announcement in 2021 or concerning the 2019 election. In both ballots, the Liberals were returned to government with minority mandates while the Conservatives formed the official Opposition.
