The China interference controversy is more explosive than the SNC-Lavalin, blackface/brownface or WE Charity scandals, and could carry serious fallout for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, says Prof. Duane Bratt of the Mount Royal University.
China’s attempts to interfere in Canadian elections is politically more explosive than the SNC-Lavalin, blackface/brownface and the WE Charity scandals, and its fallout could carry serious consequences for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s personal political career and the Liberal Party in the next election, say politicos.
“You’re dealing with a very tired government that has these other scandals in the past, but this goes to the heart of Canadian democracy,” said Duane Bratt, a professor of political science at the Mount Royal University, in an interview with The Hill Times. “It is very serious and very damaging.”
