Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim is pushing back on recent allegations that the Chinese communist regime played a role in the 2022 municipal election.

“If there’s proof of foreign interference in our election, I want to know about it, because I’m a Canadian,” Sim said in a press conference on March 16. “If there was proof of this, I’d be as mad as hell as anybody else.”
