Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau testified before a probe into foreign election interference on Wednesday that China ’s meddling in the past two elections did not change the outcomes.
In the previously secret briefing document exposed on Monday, CSIS said “the timing of these efforts to align with Conservative polling improvements; the similarities in language with articles published by PRC state media; and the partnership agreements between these Canada-based outlets and PRC entities all suggest that these efforts were orchestrated or directed by the PRC.”
Trudeau claimed he never saw the blockbuster report divulged to the public on Monday, but he disputed the conclusion by CSIS that Beijing wanted a Liberal Party weakened to minority status in charge of Canada’s affairs. Other officials from Trudeau’s administration said they were aware of the warnings from CSIS and O’Toole’s complaint, but they felt the evidence was not strong enough to warrant an intervention that “could create more harm than good,” as Trudeau’s national security adviser Nathalie Drouin put it.
