The 2021 election platforms released by the major federal parties have not adequately addressed the threat the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) poses to Canada, reflecting a lack of understanding of CCP’s true nature, experts warn.

A recent Nanos Research survey (pdf) found that two-thirds of Canadians want the federal government to be “more forceful” in its relations with China.
