The Canadian election security and information threats (sites) task force said on Friday it had detected “adjusted malicious activity” from accounts related to the People's Republic of China (PRC). Canada's liberals will replace resigning Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Canada's Global Affairs, Canada's Foreign Affairs, Published A statement from the site that “information manipulation targeted at Chrystia Freeland” comes from WeChat's anonymous blog that “previously linked by China Digital Times experts” has been reported in the Republic of China It comes from it.
The task force collectively captured “a very high level of engagement and opinions” by identifying “over 30 Wechat news accounts participating in the campaign.”
The report states that the WeChat network has generated over 140,000 interactions between January 29th and February 3rd, 2025, and has seen up to 3 million users in the campaign worldwide. I'm watching.
The Chinese Embassy in Ottawa did not immediately comment on the report, but Freeland certainly did.
“I am not threatened by foreign interference in China. I have spent years in the authoritarian regime and know firsthand the importance of protecting our freedom,” she said. I wrote it x.
“Democracy in Canada is strong, and I would like to thank the national security agencies for protecting it,” she added.
Freeland was one of the top candidates to replace Trudeau among the liberals, and his downfall accelerated sharply in mid-December. Forced Freeland from his cabinet. Previously, one of Trudeau's most loyal supporters, and his deputy prime minister – Freeland, by criticizing the irresponsible spending of government funds in a desperate bid to regain popularity with Canadian voters. It drew Trudeau's rage.
Trudeau's vote buying plan failed, and Freeland's fierce resignation letter became one of his political co-death final nails in response to Trudeau trying to force her to a humiliating demobilization . Trudeau effectively resigned in early January, but he used a measure called “prologation” to remove Congress until March, giving him power for the last few months as “manager” prime minister.
The liberal party is led by Conservative leader Pierre Poillieve and is large-scale party leader Pierre Poillieve in a liberal alliance with the other major major New Democrats (NDPs) in Canada Faced with a massive poll, he was rushing to come up with a plausible candidate to take over Trudeau. Left wing party.
Watch – Trump on negotiations with Trudeau: “What's it for” you don't need Canada:
It seems there's a competition for the Prime Minister It's been tightened After Trudeau resigned and President Donald Trump threatened Canada with tariffs. Poilievre still leads in double digits, but the NDP no longer appears to be a threat to overtake the liberals as the main leftist party.
Freeland is one of them Five candidates Someone who appears to have enough money and support for serious shots at top liberal spots. Others include former central bank Governor Mark Carney, Montreal businessman Frank Bayliss, former MP Ruby Dara and current MP Karina Gould.
Dara runs the right-most candidate on the platform of deporting illegal immigrants, cracking down on traffickers and fighting substance abuse, which appears to be closer to Poilierbre's agenda than her fellow liberals. is. She also makes many of the fact that she is not a “career politician” and has little to do with the miserable Trudeau administration.
Watch – Ah, Canada… Trump threatens Canadian leadership with rising tariffs on US “abuse.”
“I talked to real people and learned all of their problems. I'm not part of the Ottawa bubble so I've actually talked about the problems Canadians face every day with this campaign.” she said Monday.
Meanwhile, Freeland is running With the Kabichi left-wing platform that fights inflation by setting price caps on groceries. Some Canadian Experts Make predictions Her old proposal and prolonged relationship with Trudeau blows her out of the race, but others are stubborn liberals who spew Trudeau and empathize with her as the ultimate victim of his unpleasant leadership. I believe it is preferred by voters.
Targeted by alleged Chinese influence operations may be just what Freeland needs to convince voters. Carney soon I jumped in After a “intrusive” site report, he expresses his support for Freeland.
“I am totally committed to defending this racial integrity and standing firm against attempts to undermine democracy,” Carney wrote on social media platform X.
“We are deeply grateful to the staff at the National Security and Intelligence Agency who are leading this important work to maintain trust in our democratic process,” he added.
