As foreign actors work to influence Canadian elections, how safe is your voice?

Hong Kong Democracy activist Henry Chan did not expect to think that if he decided to nominate the Saskatchewan party in his hometown, on the basis of a foreign target.

Chan, the executive and greeting, said that someone who was approaching the incident, then one of the people who discovered in social media could have relations with the Chinese Communist Party. In a personal conversation, the person asked him to “what he was about to do for the people of China.” In return, they proposed to support their candidacy.

Chan did not pick it up. He did not win his candidacy, nor did the Saskatchewan Party won this chair in the legislature in the voting last year.

After watching the voting violations in the nomination session of party officials, Chan continued his questions about the integrity and safety of the entire process.

“There are no rules in many of these nominations in general. Mostly a gong show” said Chan CBC news. Worry Can only be in the game than local policycontacted social security agencies.

Attempts in foreign intervention

Once a week, journalists in Ottawa once a week, are informed by the highest security and intelligence officials in an emergency: or covers remain safe.

Authorities say the Canadians reveal their political views, including the efforts for the broom A built-in boost The digital environment for “contaminating” in Chinese-speaking social media is both positive and negative in Liberal Leader Mark Carney.

The weekly briefings are the first for the federal election campaign. And this race comes after a few weeks of Marie-Josée Hogue of Justice 51 recommendations to ensure the interference of Canadian elections.

In connection with the 2019 and 2021 elections, the investigation did not close the results of external intervention – only when the wrong information and disinformation will increase only in future competitions.

All this is how safe can Canadians believe in this election.

“Attempts of the interference:” Attempts, “Cansions Security Institution Bridget supply Canada, Canadian Information Technology Security Agency, said this month in a briefing.

The point of these updates should not be the spark of unfounded fears managed by the enemy external actors of this voting, but opposite. If more voters understand the threats, the authorities hope that there will be enough economical to find fake news before forming their political views.

This election in this election in this election in this election, the changes and changes that Hogue are still in place and the electoral of the chief electoral, the protestership of Canada to the parliament.

False news in the sliding slip?

Gloria Fung is worried about the slow pace of these adjustments. The Democracy lawyer in Hong Kong and Canada is the convenience of the Coalition of Human Rights Groups, which is lobbied for years to influence foreign influence.

Fungs are concerns about how easy it is for other proxies to establish consular officers and campaigns from Canadian political parties and manipulate the opinions.

“I have already seen signs … Fake news said that the Chinese Communist Party spreads in some swings with target ridings,” he said. “I warned the Ministry of Public Security and Foreign Affairs, but I do not think that they took it seriously.”

He says the network is the first of the coordinated disinformation campaign in WECHAT during the final election Targeted, MP Kenny Chiu and other conservative candidates criticizing the human rights in China.

Hogue request tested this disinformation and accepted that a number of voters could affect the voters – although the conservative seats in 2021 are not known.

No transparency doubts of fuel

Hogue’s survey also noted the easier to penetrate than the general elections, the party’s leadership competitions also celebrated. Intelligence statements warned the intervention in the party Competitions that choose both conservative leader Pierre Poilievre In 2022 and Carney at the beginning of this year.

Two Indian Canadian candidates were disqualified from the Liberal Leadership Competition for unknown violations: Chandra Arya and Ruby. Dhalla’s work, the party claimed that the campaign was established during a federal campaign. Dhalla rejects any of my hoods.

A lawyer representing the Sikh coalition in the People’s Singh, fears the Liberal Party, did not learn from the Hogue Commission. It represents the Canadians who do not agree with the views of these two candidates on Indian politics and do not support any candidacy.

Again, Singh wished to be more transparent on the disqualification of liberals.

“What does this usually say about racial candidates?” Said. Privacy “This … Racist tropards are, we see that they do not have true Canadians.”

“It would really be better to be clear of the reasons.”

Education is not censorship

Britain’s brief voting and 2016 US elections, chief election employee Stéphane Perrault, the election should start working with election partners, the election integrity should not be jeopardized, he said.

Perrault CBC told the news that these events understand the concepts of all Canadians as a secret voting principle.

As a project, Canada, Canton, Canton and Mandarin, Canton and Mandarin, to manage civil education programs, received new materials with new materials in places to protect voters’ votes.

Fighting disinformation, pertrault is not something that believes, does not fit the role. Instead of increasing public confidence in the agency’s neutrality, the attempts to regulate political speech can arouse biased doubts.

“The candidate is very seriously shaking the reliability of the information about a party or a platform,” he said.

“I think I can’t be able to pass the legitimacy of my office without jeopardizing.”
