CSIS is worried about China interfering in our elections, even if the government isn’t
of cash and manpower to Liberal candidates – and in least one case, even choosing the candidate.
The reports on China’s activities were not some sketchy draft left on a junior officer’s desk. CSIS officials, presumably at the highest levels, were confident enough in them to share them with the government, also at the highest levels. It is hard to imagine they would not have been seen by the Prime Minister.
The Liberals’ longstanding coziness with China is a matter of public record: the baffling decisions on takeovers of Canadian companies with sensitive security implications; the endless dithering over whether to allow Huawei to supply equipment to Canada’s 5G telephone networks; the appointments of Beijing cheerleaders John McCallum and Dominic Barton as ambassadors to China.
The Prime Minister, after all, might have adopted the same stance toward China even without such inducements. China’s preference for the Liberals may likewise have a perfectly innocent, i.e. appalling, explanation: that the Liberals are soft on China’s “basic dictatorship.”
