Trudeau rejects calls for public inquiry into Chinese election interference
The prime minister says Canadian lawmakers are already studying the reports and allegations.
Canada a nation stereotyped by being excessively apologetic and having the fondness of ending sentences with "eh?". However her elected leader Justin doesn't seem to embody much of the Canadian nature.
It is not a secret that recently leaked CSIS papers on the Chinese interference in Canadian politics have landed the ex-drama teacher in hot maple syrup (yup I'm going there). With the reveal, all the numerous past pro-Beijing stances that Trudeau made leave uncomfortable implications - how much and how deep he is in the pockets of the CCP? How much of Canada has he compromised to the Chinese regime? According to the leaked papers the Chinese assisted directly and indirectly the Liberal Party to secure political positions. They actively worked against the conservative party by way of misinformation and funding of oppositions. This is on the premise that the conservatives are hostile to the CCP and liberals are easier to sway. Typical political meddling stuffs if you ask me. I would do the same if I'm a spy.
Trudeau for his part has vehemently downplay the effects of the interference. He is more displeased that the leak happened to start with and have indicated that actions will be take to address the leak rather than the content of the leak. He treats foreign threats like minor inconveniences, a far tepid response to the truck drivers protest where he cavalierly uses Emergency Powers.
Now he is actively resisting inquiry calls into the foreign meddling. What a wonderful leader...
