John Ivison: Interference news has Liberals looking soft on a country intent on undermining our democracy
Polls suggest voters are skeptical, not only of the Trudeau government’s relationship with China, but also about the PM’s ability to tell voters the truth
OTTAWA — The serenity shown by one senior Liberal official in late March over the Chinese foreign interference saga was at odds with the fever that was gripping Ottawa.
At the time, it seemed the government was in real trouble. There was compelling testimony that suggested the Liberal party was warned by the security services that some of its candidates were helped by the Chinese government in successive elections.
The Michael Chong revelations leave little doubt that the Trudeau and his Liberal Party are criminally negligent for failing to notify Chong of the threat to his family from the Communist Chinese.
It was not an oversight. It is collusion, it is treason.
