OTTAWA - Canada’s spy agency, Csis, told politician Erin O’Toole that Beijing campaigned to discredit him and suppress votes ahead of the 2021 election he lost to Justin Trudeau’s Liberals.
O’Toole told lawmakers that a Csis briefing last week confirmed what he “had long suspected – that my party, several of my parliamentary caucus members and myself were the target of a Chinese orchestrated campaign of disinformation and voter suppression in the run up to and during the 2021 general election”.
Trudeau insists that Chinese interference did not undermine the integrity of the 2019 or 2021 election results.
