Canada Inquiry: No Change in 2019, 2021 Election Results Despite China's Meddling

May 3, 2024, 04:10 PM

A public inquiry in Canada has concluded that while there were attempts by China to interfere in the country's 2019 and 2021 federal elections, these efforts did not alter the overall results or undermine the electoral integrity. The inquiry, led by Commissioner Hogue, found that the meddling did not affect which political party formed the government, but it did erode public trust in the democratic process. The report is being closely watched for its insights into the scope of state-meddling and the country's defenses against such interference.
