RICHMOND, B.C. — A former British Columbia member of Parliament said he fears Canada has become an"open market" for foreign governments to sway elections after being named in a newspaper report as the target of an alleged campaign by Chinese diplomats to defeat him.
Chiu, who has previously said he was targeted by pre-election misinformation on Chinese-language social media, said there had been a lack of action from Ottawa on foreign interests operating in Canadian politics. "The integrity of our political system, it's the cornerstone, the foundation of our country," Chiu said."And if we cannot protect it and guarantee it and allow foreign countries to influence and interfere with it, it puts question in our democratic system."
"I'm just sick and tired of these people just keep on sending virtual signals but drag their feet," he says.
