The capital of one of the world’s most stable democracies is gripped by growing panic about foreign agents working in elected office. A bombshell report by Canadian lawmakers has unnerved Parliament Hill, alleging that unnamed politicians have been covertly working with foreign governments.
The revelation in heavily redacted findings released this week by an all-party national security committee adds intrigue to a separate and ongoing inquiry into foreign interference in Canada’s 2019 and 2021 elections.
The new report from the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians is the first to suggest that lawmakers in Canada’s parliament may have helped foreign actors meddle in political campaigns and leadership races. Heightened anxiety in Ottawa about foreign interference comes in the middle of historic global elections where factors such as artificial intelligence and emboldened foreign powers are testing the resilience of democratic systems.
Here are the top political news stories for today.

Lets cut the bull **** - The PM of Canada Justin Trudeau knew China was manipulating elections in his favour while Justin Trudeau sat in silence then has been trying to cover it up ever since... In a real country that would be treason & end anyones career.

It shouldn’t just end a career, it’s a journey that should end in jail time. The government is sitting on this in the hopes it’ll go away over the summer and while the media pays lip service to it, they too will quietly let it drop because the wrong team is implicated.

You mean it's really NOT the will of Canadians but of foreign countries that Canada be BURIED in migrants, have every one of their guns taken away and priced right out of the home they're living in?
You mean the people themselves don't want that?
Shocking.
No mention that Polievre, the Conservative leader of the opposition refuses to get the necessary security clearance to see the report. The report also says there were “foreign actors” working to get certain Conservative leaders elected.

We need an exceptional amount of voters and we need provinces to take election integrity seriously.
They should be passing bills as we speak to secure our election process. Just have to look to the YYC mayor to know there is Corruption. BC uses the dominion.
