The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a rise in espionage attacks against Canada, according to a new report from Parliament's special intelligence committee, which repeatedly singles out concerns about the threat posed by China and Russia.

However, the report also flags concerns about China when it comes to both espionage and foreign interference in Canada. It goes on to accuse both of using cyber operations to target Canadian governments, companies and academic institutions.

The report also has four recommendations for better dealing with attempts by foreign countries to interference in Canadian politics, including more frequent engagement with political parties and more thought on how to report incidents to the public. The pandemic is believed to be contributing to the problem, according to the committee report, which notes an increase in antigovernment rhetoric and racism while noting the rise in social isolation, online activity and financial hardship during COVID-19.

"Several states are responsible for conducting activities in Canada, but intelligence shows that China and Russia remain the primary culprits," reads the report, which was first presented to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in December. "Malicious state and non-state actors have targeted the health sector and government services and conducted online disinformation campaigns aimed at manipulating public opinion and undermining confidence in the functioning of key public health systems."

What research? Canada doesn't even have their own vaccine till date. China has Sinovac, Russia with Sputnik suppliers to x number of countries around the world.

🤣` ...

Canada doesn’t produce its own vaccine! But has been doing the Covid research for years now.

...because Canada is crushing the Covid Pandemic 😳

That's ridiculous, what is worth stolen by China from Canada, especially research about COVID? China has already controlled the pandemic since June 2020, and there will be the 4th wave in Canada. Canada even cannot produce its own vaccine!

Pure propaganda .... Both countries are more advanced in their research and have better vaccines....

Now why would China be targeting Canadian covid research? I guess China isnt so innocent after all. Why are we not boycotting China and seizing China owned properties to pay for the damage they have done? I guess its not racist to point the finger at whos actually responsible.
