The Liberals play the Trump card on election interference, and lose
In the space of a week, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s mysteriously ambivalent response to the revelation that Chinese operatives meddled in the 2021 general election has gone from bad to worse.outlining the scope of the interference, Mr. Trudeau’s message was that any Chinese meddling that occurred didn’t affect the outcome of the election, and Canadians could rest assured their democracy was safe.
That only got worse this week, when the Liberals tried to twist valid Conservative criticism of the government’s handling of the matter into an attack on Canada’s democratic institutions. No one is questioning the fact that Chinese meddling did not change who formed government in 2019 and 2021. Last November, it came to light that Mr. Trudeau was briefed in January, 2022 about a Chinese campaign ofin the Greater Toronto Area, but sat on the information. And now we know an even more sophisticated campaign of Chinese interference occurred in 2021.
