A public inquiry in Canada, led by Commissioner Marie-Josée Hogue, has concluded that while China and other actors interfered in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections, this did not affect the overall results or the integrity of the electoral process. The interference eroded public trust in democracy and some candidates in the 2019 election appeared willing to engage with these schemes. The findings have sparked reactions, including criticism from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau regarding the impact on public trust.
