Canadian parliamentarians accused of helping foreign agents
The Decibel
Canadian Parliamentarians' Alleged Collaboration with Foreign States
The chapter reveals a report exposing Canadian parliamentarians allegedly assisting foreign agents through various activities like communicating with foreign diplomats, accepting benefits from foreign governments, and influencing colleagues for foreign state benefits. It discusses incidents involving Chinese diplomats targeting a conservative critic, leading to the expulsion of a diplomat and explores the concept of parliamentarians being witting or semi-witting participants in dealings with foreign actors, with references to potential electoral advantages and quid pro quo relationships. The government's refusal to disclose names involved raises concerns about transparency and suspicions of parliamentarians collaborating with foreign governments.
