Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre praised the “courageous whistleblowers” in Canada’s security apparatus for leaking top-secret documents on China’s interference in the 2021 federal election, as he levelled criticism at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for “covering up the interference of the authoritarian regime in Beijing.”
The Globe and Mail reported on the leaked documents on Feb. 17, which said Beijing had mobilized its consulates to leverage politically active Chinese community members and organizations to execute an elaborate strategy that had two goals: the re-election of a minority Liberal government and the defeat of Conservative candidates who have been vocal against the Chinese communist regime.
