A public petition aimed at opposing the creation of a foreign agent registry in Canada has closed with less than 2,500 signatures despite the strenuous efforts to promote it by some groups that have historically backed Beijing’s aggressive policies.

Petition e-4395 closed on July 13, with a total of 2,450 signatures, as first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter. The petition was launched by Coquitlam, B.C., resident Li Wang, and was sponsored in the House of Commons by Liberal MP Chandra Arya.
