The Prime Minister invokes national security when it suits the Liberals’ partisan interests
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau listens to a reporter's question during a news conference on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, on Oct. 14.For many months, the Trudeau government has invoked the phrase “national security,” waving it like an amulet to ward off urgent questions about foreign interference in Canadian politics.
That pattern began in February, 2023, when The Globe and Mail reported that China had interfered in two federal elections. The government stonewalled for weeks and then, faced with growing cries for a public inquiry, appointed former governor-general David Johnston as special rapporteur. The Trudeau government has also insisted the public cannot know the names of parliamentarians that have wittingly or unwittingly colluded with foreign governments, a bombshell dropped in a heavily redacted June report from the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians.
