A Canadian Security Intelligence Service boss calls out an unnamed foreign government and its influence over at least two provincial cabinet ministers, the meddling nation eventually identified as China.
Citing unnamed sources, Global News said CSIS alleged that Chinese diplomats had supported 11 candidates in the 2019 federal election, funnelling $250,000 in funding at one point through a sympathetic member of the Ontario legislature.
Community activists and security experts said Tuesday the charges have the ring of truth, echo repeated warnings from the intelligence community — and yet seem unlikely to generate any concrete action in response.
