OTTAWA — Former Conservative leader Erin O’Toole told MPs Thursday that Canada has been ignoring threats from China for far too long and the country must wake up to the new realities of Beijing’s interference in our democracy.
“As a country, we must realize that Canada has been like the frog in a pot of boiling water; multiple governments of both stripes have ignored our intelligence agencies, who have been warning about the heat in the water from China,” he told MPs at a House of Commons committee.
