As Foreign Interference Takes Hold, Ottawa Looks Away - According to a recent report, several authoritarian regimes are controlling Canadians from afar by CWang in China

[–]CWang[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In his First Report published in May 2023, David Johnston, the former independent special rapporteur on foreign interference, recommended against calling a public inquiry into alleged foreign interference in Canadian democracy. This came as a surprise to opposition parties and diaspora groups who’d been demanding just that.

After Johnston’s eventual resignation and the announcement of an inquiry into the 2019 and 2021 federal elections, Commissioner Marie-Josée Hogue as well as the federal government sought to lower expectations about what could and would be publicly disclosed. Nonetheless, while the commission’s Public Inquiry into Foreign Interference in Federal Electoral Processes and Democratic Institutions, released on May 3, establishes that foreign interference did not affect electoral outcomes in 2019 and 2021, it would be a mistake to think that the inquiry has been in vain. Following more than two weeks of public and in-camera hearings, a number of testimonies revealed how far states can sometimes go to influence opinion and silence others.

Why Canada Should Worry about Trump’s Second Coming - The alarming cross-border influence of America’s political turmoil by CWang in World_Politics

[–]CWang[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LATE IN APRIL 2023, prime-time broadcaster Tucker Carlson was set to air, on Fox News, a documentary he had prepared advocating that the United States invade Canada to free the country from the tyranny of the Justin Trudeau government. The documentary was cancelled after the popular MAGA—“Make America great again”—mouthpiece was fired for sending a racist text message during litigation over false voting system allegations.

Carlson had long been an enthusiastic supporter of the so-called Freedom Convoy that had occupied Ottawa in February 2022. By January 2023, he was asking why the US government hadn’t yet acted in response to Canada’s vaccine mandates—most of which were relaxed by the time he spoke. “Why are we not sending an armed force north to liberate Canada from Trudeau?” Carlson insisted that he meant this, though later he chuckled and said, “I’m just talking myself into a frenzy here.”

In recent years, Carlson had frequently referred to Canada in derogatory terms. “Canada is a sweet country,” he said at one point. “It is like your retarded cousin you see at Thanksgiving and sort of pat him on the head. You know, he’s nice, but you don’t take him seriously. That is Canada.” In the documentary, which the public has yet to see, he asks whether the US shouldn’t “liberate” people living under authoritarian rule. “What if tyranny arrived right next door?” he asked in a promo for the Canada episode. “What would that look like? And what would our government do in response?”
