Justin Trudeau wants Canadians to know they can have confidence in our democracy despite claims of election interference by China.
LILLEY: Trudeau warns journalists that questions about China's election interference are racist and should stop
“Trudeau is showing nothing but contempt for Parliament, and for our democracy, by stonewalling efforts to investigate foreign interference and by refusing to treat the issue with the seriousness it deserves,” Conservative MP Michael Cooper said in a statement.Article content Cooper might be a little too optimistic in that statement because Trudeau will try to ignore the clear direction of the committee.A Nanos poll released Friday showed 91% of Canadians are concerned about China’s interference in Canadian society while an Angus Reid poll released Thursday showed 65% believe China tried to interfere in our elections and 69% believe the Trudeau government is afraid to stand up to China.
Trudeau’s line is simply that the interference by China, which he doesn’t deny happened, doesn’t rise to a serious enough level to warrant further action. Like the Rosenberg report, which said interference that targeted one riding, or one ethnic group, would not be investigated, Trudeau doesn’t think what happened was serious interference.Article contentWe apologize, but this video has failed to load.
