Canada needs a public inquiry into Chinese election interference: former top spy

Bombshell allegations from intelligence sources that a sitting Liberal MP is a witting affiliate of the Chinese government’s attempts to interfere in Canada’s democracy are renewing concerns over foreign meddling in Canada’s 2019 and 2021 elections.

‘The West Block’ host Mercedes Stephenson sat down with former CSIS director Dick Fadden, former Conservative MP Kenny Chiu and Global News investigative reporter Sam Cooper to discuss whether a public inquiry is necessary to investigate foreign election interference.

Plus, Canada is sending four more Leopard 2 battle tanks to Ukraine, bringing the total number pledged to eight. Since Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine began one year ago, Ottawa has committed a billion dollars in military aid to Ukraine.

Stephenson speaks with Defence Minister Anita Anand about the need to support Ukraine at a time when the Canadian Armed Forces are being stretched to the limit at home.
