Political spin on election interference helps China undermine democracies: Trudeau
OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says members of Parliament who put a political spin on foreign election interference are helping China undermine Canadians’ confidence in their democracy.
He says playing “political games” to get a partisan advantage will undermine people’s trust in their institutions, and will only assist the efforts of countries like Russia and China that attempt to make democracies unstable.
He told reporters today that Canadians must have trust in the electoral process, regardless of which political party is in power, and parties must work together on the issue.
