After another bombshell report last week suggested Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s 2021 election victory was clandestinely backed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Trudeau blasted not only the alleged undermining of the nation’s elections but Canada’s intelligence agency for allowing the information to be leaked to the press.
“It’s certainly a sign that security within CSIS [Canadian Security Intelligence Service] needs to be reviewed. And I’m expecting CSIS to take the issue very seriously,” Trudeau reacted after the latest Globe and Mail reports.
In last Friday’s report, the Globe and Mail stated that they’ve viewed “top-secret Canadian Security Intelligence Service documents” that “cover the period before and after the September 2021” that show “how an orchestrated machine was operating in Canada with two primary aims: to ensure that a minority Liberal government was returned in 2021, and that certain Conservative candidates identified by China were defeated.”
According to the Globe, the CSIS documents reveal that the CCP was “pressuring its consulates to create strategies to leverage politically [active] Chinese community members and associations within Canadian society.”
Reacting to both the reports of potential foreign interference in Canadian elections, and Trudeau’s response, Toronto Sun columnist Brian Lilley blasted the prime minister.
“Trudeau’s reaction to all of this should have been one of fire and brimstone. He should have said he would demand answers from China, that he would haul China’s ambassador to Canada on the carpet and demand answers,” Lilley wrote…

Sounds like there’s a patriotic Canadian on the loose.
The Five Eyes Intel group needs to consider removing Canada from that alliance if this is true re the ChiComs.
New Zealand may even be worse as a supposed ally!
The Five Eyes is an intelligence alliance composed of:
Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. These partner countries share a broad range of intelligence with one another in one of the world’s most unified multilateral arrangements.
Reliably reliable people told me this is election tampering. But what do I know.
Spoken like a true Authoritarian.
Bet he'd like to be able to put them up against a wall, like his dad used to do.

Methinks the lady doth protest too much.
Tyrants always go for retaliation,
killing if they can get away with it.

There should be a crowd with torches and pitchforks outside his residence.
He needs to get the Allende treatment.
You left out the CCP.
Don’t forget the communist NDP are keeping Trudeau in power
CSIS works for Canada not Trudeau
Brings to mind the shady Chinese campaign donations of the Clinton years.
Again and again the big problem in this world is commies.
LOL
I’m guessing that if anyone is not presently in the pay of the CCP it it the Aussies, but I appeal to Naturalman for insight on this one.
You left out the CCP.!”
Supposedly, they were left out on purpose, decades ago.
He can’t handle the truth.
Canada is done, as in put a fork in it, in my opinion.
On the whole, Australians are not particularly interested - but there's enough that are that there is perfectly valid reason to be concerned.
Especially some sections of the Labor Party who are now in government at a Federal level, and in most states.
I stress some. At the moment, the Federal government lead by Anthony Albanese as PM, seems to be holding the line - I've no fan of Albanese, or his politics in general, but I think this is one issue he is on the right side of. But in my state, when we have Daniel Andrews as Premier, it's very different - Andrews actually tried to sign the state up to China's "Belt and Road" initiative which would have given them massive influence over the second most populous state in the country - but Andrews is far left, even by Australian standards, crossing the line into totalitarianism in his own right. He's an anomaly - a worrying anomaly but not typical.
China also does have a fair degree of control over the Port of Darwin, which is one of our major shipping ports. And how they got that control was a disgrace which was the fault of a conservative Northern Territory government, but it's such a disgrace, I doubt it's ever going to happen again - the one silver lining. And if China ever pushes things too far, Australian governments can take back control - it'd cause a major diplomatic ruck with China so it's not going to happen unless it's really pushed, but if things ever get bad and relationships can't really get any worse...
Overall, Australia remains a fully sovereign nation, but China is trying to gain more and more influence, and we need to be alert to that.
