The Canadian Security Intelligence Service revealed that the Chinese Communist Party is engaging in a campaign to influence the opinions of Chinese Canadians during the federal election, especially towards Liberal leader Mark Carney. This marks a significant escalation in foreign interference tactics. Recent assessments suggest that not only China, but also India, Russia, and Pakistan, are potential actors in attempting to sway the electoral process. The ongoing efforts highlight the urgency of addressing evolving foreign threats to Canadaâs democracy.
The SITE announcement marks the first time during a federal election that the public has been briefed on real-time efforts of foreign interference.
These warnings suggest that foreign interference in elections has not only become inevitable, but it's evolving fast.
