China tried to meddle in the last two Canadian elections but the results were not impacted, Justin Trudeau

China tried to meddle in the last two Canadian elections but the results were not impacted and it was “improbable” Beijing preferred any one party over another, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told an official probe on Wednesday. In sworn testimony before a commission conducting a public inquiry into alleged foreign interference in the 2019 and 2021 Canadian elections, Trudeau answered questions about intelligence briefings he had received and asserted the elections were “free and fair.” Trudeau set up the commission last year under pressure from opposition legislators unhappy about media reports on China’s possible role in the elections.

There were serious attempts to rig the election but it didn’t work

It would seem highly improbable that Trudeau will ever see past the edge of the reality distortion field generated by his own ego interacting with the sycophants surrounding him.

n3m37h,

Our elections are just fucked, why does my municipal vote count for federal level? Why are there ridings? If we lived in a true democracy we would use popular voting at every level and seperate municipal, provincial and federal.

Bunch of convoluted bullshit

bionicjoey,

Do you need to go back to high school civics? We do have separate elections for federal, provincial, and municipal.
