The Liberal government’s approach to foreign interference? No transparency, no accountability, and a whole lot of inaction

Wednesday is caucus day on Parliament Hill and this week’s meetings must have been like no other. This time, it seems, the call is coming from inside the house.

Earlier this week, we learned that some Parliamentarians are believed to have been helping hostile foreign actors interfere in Canadian electoral affairs. MPs and Senators appear to have been willingly and knowingly working with foreign governments and actors, most notably China and India, in relationships that can benefit both the parliamentarians and the foreign governments. Information, it is alleged, has been exchanged to benefit the elected member and representatives of the foreign government. In cozy quid pro quo arrangements, vital information shared with a foreign government was supposedly traded for help from agents of that country in mobilizing its diaspora or offering other aid in electoral campaigns.
