Why Chinese Election Interference Matters

When the Globe and Mail told the nation that the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) expressed concerns to the government about Chinese interference in our elections the Prime Minister’s immediate concern was not the interference but the fact that the CSIS memo was leaked.

“Let me also be very clear to a really important point that I think some folks are choosing to overlook in a free democracy,” Prime Minister Trudeau said. “It is not up to unelected security officials to dictate to political parties who can or cannot run. That’s a really important principle.”

So, CSIS does security and the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) does politics. Sound familiar? It was the same line of argument made over whether the government could invoke the Emergencies Act. That Act needed to be “modernized” so that the government could deal with the political realities of public disorder and not rely on the CSIS national security threat. Unfortunately, Justice Rouleau agreed.

It shows that multiculturalism has turned Canada into a divided nation of Fifth Columns.
