The West Block: Canada foreign interference inquiry releases report

The issue of foreign interference returns to the spotlight as the public inquiry into election meddling releases its first report and the RCMP make an arrest of suspected foreign hitmen.

‘The West Block’ host Mercedes Stephenson sits down with Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc to discuss the new arrests in the 2023 killing of B.C. Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar. LeBlanc also addresses the findings of the foreign interference inquiry, which found that instances of foreign meddling did occur but did not alter the outcomes of Canada’s 2019 and 2021 federal elections. Commissioner Marie-Josée Hogue also concluded that foreign interference did undermine public confidence in the electoral process.

Plus, Stephenson speaks with former CSIS executive manager Dan Stanton and Global News’ national security journalist Stewart Bell about the arrest of three suspected hitmen and their alleged ties to the Indian government.

I live on Vancouver Island and a few years ago we started seeing many East Indian “students” arrive in the area. They started getting part time jobs at my workplace and other places. We started seeing that these people were not going to school but were working at several different places. And they were just using the student option as a way to get into the country. Several of the young men were getting married to local women and trying to use them as a way to get permanent residence. It soon became obvious that the “student” thing was just a scam so I was not surprised to see this recent situation. The Trudeau government had no control of who was coming into the country and what they were doing after they got here.

Canada is in a full tailspin and I don’t think even the Conservatives can fix this country. Canada has had its best before date this isn’t a serious country anymore. The future is very bleak for Canada.

Funny how it was only phase one of the inquiry and they came out first and said “did not impact the federal elections… both of them…”

Gee Eby, who could possibly have foreseen that making drugs free would lead to more drug consumption? What's next, mobile free liquor dispensers outside of all AA meetings? You are too big a fool even for Canadian politics and that is a very, very, low bar.

Would India actually send guys on students visas and leave a trail? They could have sent them in visitors visa and return. ....just a thought 🤔

If the India Gov is involved and that very probable a clear message must be sent with a stiff sanction!! We don’t want to invite Russia to follow as India and Russia are becoming more and more in line with each other.. 🇨🇦🇨🇦
