In an examination of officials from Canada’s two major political parties today, the Hogue Commission is probing the alarming weaknesses in Canada’s election system, where non-citizens living in Canada but working for hostile states are exploiting loopholes in political party nomination processes and even leadership contests, and where parties apparently give no guidance to their MPs on hiring staff or interacting with foreign diplomats, according to intelligence reports and testimony.
China’s election interference networks, led by Beijing’s United Front and intelligence agents, establish collusion between Chinese Consulate officials, political candidates and their staff, and community leaders to clandestinely support politicians sympathetic to the Chinese Communist Party. Previous intelligence reporting obtained by The Bureau from confidential sources identified these activities and revealed a broader manipulation of Canada’s political party nomination processes.
The Bureau’s exclusive reporting was confirmed by documents tabled Friday, which underscore a critical vulnerability: Canada’s political party nomination processes are not regulated by federal or provincial election laws. As a result, foreign agents are able to manipulate these processes with relative ease. Unlike formal elections, where some rules and oversight exist, party nomination processes rely on internal regulations that can be exploited by hostile states and their proxies.
” … party nomination processes rely on internal regulations that can be exploited by hostile states and their proxies.”
Indeed. In other words, the chicomms or anyone else can interfere to at least the same extent as the leadership of our political parties have been doing in the candidate selection processes.
Paging donald Smiff!
And once they’ve helped them get elected, if they don’t do what their told, they’ll be exposed.
And once they are exposed……..
….there are no consequences, near as I can determine.
“and where parties apparently give no guidance to their MPs on hiring staff or interacting with foreign diplomats”.
I beg to differ. I’m sure they are instructed to “follow the money”.
Steve, I doubt they need to be instructed to do that!
Lets be honest, we don’t need foreigners “interfering” in our leadership races, when we already have home grown organizations doing it (see the Dairy Lobby selecting Andrew Scheer), or foreign controlled Canadian money washing groups (like everyone who is getting money from Tides, Soros, or Sierra Club)
If any MP or prospective candidate had the wits to do the right thing, i.e. appear to be receptive to the ChiCom overtures while quietly informing CSIS and helping them hook the spy we’d have heard nothing about that. But if that hasn’t been done we’d also not know.
I wish I had even the faintest hope that our side could/would do something like that, but I don’t.
Who gives a shit.
The country’s a joke, the majority of the populace are drooling imbeciles, drunks, potheads or cultural Marxists.
May as well let dogs and cats vote and allow rats to run for office.
The rats are already in office.
So? RCMP gonna do anything? CSIS? Haha. They are ALL owned by CCP.
Just like the FILTHY LIBERALS and Trudeau’s Bodyman JAGMEET. The toughest Commie in Canada apparently
EVERYTHING THEY DON’T DO
Supports this theory.
Prove me wrong
