Chinese interference allegations: Who knew about 2019 election intel report, and what did they do?

A national security document published in 2020 with key details about China's alleged interference of Canada's 2019 federal election has provided new clarity about the accusations.

The newly uncovered document warned that influence operations were “likely to be more persistent and pervasive in future elections.”

Mackenzie Gray explains who knew about the Privy Council Office document, and what, if anything, was done about it.

Here's what we know... nothing was done and nothing will be done and no one will be held accountable. Corruption runs deep in this country but no one has the courage to even step down.

[Jeff-unlf]

Imagine being the prime minister of a country and at the same time, YOU are the biggest threat to said country and the biggest enemy of it people 🤪

[stratuscapone]

Trudeau and Bill Blair are the worst things to happen to Canada

[maximtihonov]

They'll never admit what they're knew. They'll never disclose who were MPs who got these money.

[stevetaylor]

Why would they take any action against interference if that same interference benefitted the liberal party election bid?

[FJTx]

Trudeau welcomed it, both times. It's the only logical explanation.

[davidcampbell]

Trudeau is a national security risk with blessings.

[Stevi]

What a piece of work. This is ridiculous. Whose stepping down for this?!

Thanks for the insight, but I'm still confused why Bitcoin and crypto prices keep dropping? This drop follows a number of other significant drops in recent weeks. I still hold enormous value of cryptos and it scares me. Whats your take on this?

History has taught us: when you make friends with China 🇨🇳, it always takes advantage of you.

Trudeau got some lovely donations from Chinese banks and business people. Can you say 60% of his campaign for the seat in Papineau one year was from these sources.

Anybody else sick of not having a real leader? Because I know I am

[Karma-fpho]

Thanks for sticking with this story. It’s certainly not being covered by our once trusted CBC

[wendelldunbar]

He allowed the Chinese Communist army to train in Canada on closed military bases to learn winter warfare trained to fly commercial planes. No mention to the US. I can't believe no one talks about that.

[SLEMPY]

You can bet trudope was part of the whole thing.

🤨🤨🤨🤔🤔🤔

[CondenseFact]

Enough with the allegations and let this fester. Let's get some convictions if this is true. Start with releasing the names of people that made these allegations to step up and speak up. Useless to ask Trudeau on what he knew, he's not going to incriminate himself.

[monahill]

The honourable Prime Minister won’t lie about such a serious situation would he? PPfff

[kh]

Public consultation … waste more money. This government is a joke

[boblee]

Let me guess Trudeau knew nothing and isn’t responsible in any way yet he’s going to apologize anyways. That sound about right
