Western democracy is under attack from authoritarian states like China and Russia, and Canada must do more to defend our freedoms
Chinese election interference is a hot topic in Canada. Yet, while it is indeed a matter of enormous importance, its real significance can only be understood in the context of the new Cold War against the West.
