Canada 2019, 2021 Elections Unaffected by Foreign Meddling, Says Inquiry

May 3, 2024, 06:10 PM

A public inquiry in Canada, led by Commissioner Marie-Josée Hogue, has concluded that while there were attempts by foreign entities, notably China, to interfere in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections, these did not impact the overall election results or the integrity of the electoral system. Commissioner Hogue emphasized that despite these acts of interference, the Canadian electoral system remains robust. However, the inquiry also noted that the interference succeeded in part by eroding public trust in the democratic process.
