Don’t expect Justin Trudeau to ask Chinese President Xi Jinping about China’s interference in Canada’s last two elections. A report by Global News last week revealed that Trudeau was presented with a CSIS report last January detailing China’s interference in the 2019 federal election.
A total of 11 candidates received money, as much as $250,000 was dispersed, along with staff support by a covert operation run through the Chinese consulate in Toronto to influence Canada’s election. Trudeau has been asked about this report multiple times and hasn’t denied its accuracy, but won’t commit to raising it with Xi.
“At the G 20, you’re going to be sitting beside Xi Jinping. Are you going to raise this issue with him?” Trudeau was asked but his answer was far from direct.
