UTV: Chinese Interference in Canada's elections

Unpublished Cafe

Did China try and influence two previous Canadian elections? A stunning report from Canada’s spy agency claims that country’s government attempted to interfere in our previous two federal elections but the report also pointed to a lack of concern from the PMO. Prime Minister Trudeau has appointed David Johnston as special rapporteur to investigate the claim. Our Unpublished dot vote question asks, Do you feel there should be a full public inquiry into the allegations of election interference? Yes No or Unsure.

Yes 90%+
