Foreign interference: Growing confusion, contention over alleged meddling in Canada's Parliament

Confusion is building over Green Party Leader Elizabeth May and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh sharing different takes on the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP) report's uncensored findings on foreign interference.

It accuses some MPs of “wittingly” helping efforts of foreign states to meddle in Canadian politics.

Mackenzie Gray explains how May is clarifying her previous comments, how Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is disputing the allegations and whether the public will get clear answers.

How many cover ups does this make now I’ve lost count…..
Trudeau is morally and politically bankrupt.

[Merakis]

Why don't you all do some journalism and find out who the MP's are and then expose them? It's time for the people to know and judge for themselves whether these people are traitors, whether the government wants us to know or not! And especially because they do not!

[garry]

There are two criminal justice systems in Canada. 1 for Canadians, and one for Canadian politicians.

[art-kp]

whats confusing is that their not facing charges when criminals make the laws there is no justice

[dartalienguard]

They are all corrupt criminals!
Arrest them all!

[resiliencyinstitute]

Singh is a fool - but May is a greater fool.

[bobphilip]

And these our elected officials, how disappointing these people are!

[philovance]

Unbelievable! How many scandals for Trudeau? Oh yes, let’s keep things confusing and unclear and not tell the citizens anything. Let’s cover it up and move on. Traitors are not criminal but exposing their names would be criminal. What utter contempt they have for regular citizens.

May is milking this hard. RELEASE THE NAMES!!!

[blondelynne]

Trudeau can release the names but refuses to....shocker.

[sppilot]

They use the law as an excuse as to why they can't release names ... but aren't these the same people that make the laws?

[ralphrutherford]

Who believes anything our standing government says

[GF-zhsv]

What I don't understand is why the RCMP don't immediately arrest these people

How drunk was Lizzy when she read it the first time?

Canada 🇨🇦 needs to consider the following steps to minimize Chinese interference:
- limiting the number of diplomatic and consular officials (spies) allowed in Canada,
- closing down the Toronto and Vancouver consulates,
*- creating a foreign agent registry making foreign interference a crime, *
- closing down Beijing’s “police stations, "
- canceling "sister city" programs with China,
- closing down all Confucius institutes,
- Banning United Front Work and Overseas Chinese Affairs Office operatives *from entry to Canada.*

[AhmetTekin]

There should be a law to *strip off Canadian 🇨🇦 citizenship* for some crimes, such as acting on the behest of foreign government to interfere with Canadian democracy like:
- Han Dong MP,
- Michael Chan MPP,
- Wei ChengYi businessman.

Too many secrets, mysteries, puzzles, head games ...

[bigpauly]

I think Trudeau should hire a special rapporteur to look into this matter?

[AchintKamboj]

Afcourse Trudeau gonna disagree not surprised lol

[peace-cr]

Hmm, I really don't think the foreigners interfering should be blamed here, only us for allowing our representatives to sell off Canada thru NAFTA. Yes, that was a while back, but we can't blame those vested interests for taking care of their own interests. Just too bad we were stuck in the colonial mentality that didn't see this land, our home, as our own vested interest, at least not interesting enough to practice the vigilance needed in a democracy to hold our representatives to represent us, rather than WEF, for instance, ahem!
