A report from Canada's internal intelligence service, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), has definitively confirmed that China meddled in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections. The report, released under the Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP), details that the People's Republic of China (PRC) sought to clandestinely and deceptively influence the election outcomes. The briefing also revealed that since May 2021, 117 Canadian politicians had been warned about interference. This revelation has sparked discussions on the need for Canada to take more robust action against foreign interference in its electoral processes. The briefing, which was made available to Global News, has led to public inquiries and debate on why Canadian intelligence warnings were ignored and the extent of the influence on the elections.
