> Canada needs a public inquiry into allegations of Chinese election interference, Canada former spymaster says.

> On Dec. 21, 2022, Global News reported that an unredacted 2020 national security document alleged that Beijing used an extensive network of community groups to conceal the flow of funds between Chinese officials and Canadian members of an election interference network, all in an effort to advance its own political agenda in the 2019 federal contest.

> "To be practical about it, we have to admit that Chinese interference efforts in Canada are targeted. They're not targeting every constituency in Canada," he said.

What exactly is the motivation for Trudeau to bite the hand that put him in power?

CBC and CTV (2 of our major networks) buried this story.

It’s not a bad idea, but it shouldn’t be a public inquiry in the topic of national security, maybe let people do their jobs and not perform their jobs

They'll just say that they didn't find any evidence linking the two together and that whoever speaks up about this is a disgruntled former employee

We have hogs over the border funding 1/3 of the Freedumb convoy but we collectively lose our minds over this.

Political interference only matters when it’s against conservatives.

If Canadians will ignore this, I’m glad you guys can pick this up. I’m tired of people discrediting all the corruption behind this man because anyone who doesn’t like trudeau is somehow automatically Alt Right Nazis.

No, I just don’t like women being oppressed, multiple corruption scandals, and using children and child charity as a cover up to funnel nearly a billion dollars of tax payer money to his family.

I mean he literally threatened to dissolve government MID pandemic because people wanted to investigate him for stealing tax payer dollars in parliament.

And yet I have heard absolutely no action on those events let alone a public inquiry on it. I’m sure this will blow over in the media sphere soon but I guarantee conservatives will bring this up well into the next election.

If anything this is a complaint about the left’s ability to stick on a issue and make it actually influence an election.

Honest question: What is the purpose of a public inquiry and why is it needed? It seems an inquiry is necessary to find out what happened, but we already know exactly what happened, and there is a parliamentary committee looking into it, no? The calls for a public inquiry seem to be coming from cons who will do anything to make JT look bad. In this case, he doesn't need their help, he's doing a fine job of it on his own.

Justin wouldn't like that. In fact he's decided such an inquiry isn't needed.

China is not just posting trash on FB in Canada. We have several electoral ridings that are majority Chinese who elect Chinese Canadian MP's with varying degrees of sympathy for the CCP.

I'm not promoting a witch hunt because if we address this too strongly, we stoke the fires of xenophobia. However, if we address this too weakly, China can literally sway the functioning of our government from the inside.

Yes. 90% of Canadian newspapers are owned by Post Media, whose majority owner is Chatham Asset Management. They also owned a controlling stake in AMI, best known for their National Enquirer brand, which they then sold following them controversial catch-and-kill practices of burying stories related to Trump’s extra-marital affairs leading up to the 2016 election.

Sorry if I came off as rude. Wasn't my intention. Just your line of "let people do their job" made me think of her. I do agree they are different but a long list of Trudeau's... gaffes (?), along with his praise of the CCP government's dictatorship style, show his true colours.

It's interesting that Russian election interference on Canada in favour of the far-right didn't attract nearly enough attention. It's like people accept it as a fact. Then when it comes to China, people get whipped into a frenzy.

I should also add that interference on foreign country's politics is something that Western countries often do. It's just it's legitimized and people don't bat an eye because of that.

Go ahead and call scandals what they are, I was just saying the media and public should be smarter than to try to ask for a public inquiry about matters of national security. They can’t divulge anything sensitive anyways and it just becomes theatre.

We don't know exactly what happened. We have tidbits, from anonymous sources given to journalists. Furthermore, members of the current government are among the accused. In that situation, a committee his government controls and a closed door investigation are insufficient. That is why we need an independent, public investigation of some form: because the public needs to see the results of this and because the liberals cannot be able to control the entirety of an investigation largely into themselves.

The one confirmed candidate is a provincial Liberal, but supposedly there are Liberal and Conservative candidates involved. Obviously we need to keep a better eye on fundraising and influence.
