That this is an intelligent summary and that these are not necessarily a collection of facts but rather intelligence snapshots collected by C’s analysts that might require further investigation and context this information now is in the public domain and so these are important words of of of caveat and context I

Government in Beijing working quote covertly to advance China’s interests through Canadian Democratic institutions the information put before the inquiry by cus said seven candidates from the Liberal Party of Canada and four candidates from the Conservative Party of Canada were allegedly implicated cis’s assessment was that the $250,000 from China was possibly for

Disclosing how they got this information or what exactly it looked like they are releasing these highlevel summaries of their intelligence analysis this information uh never would have seen the light of day without a public inquiry and there is still more information that we don’t know secret details the

Commission will look at at behind closed doors Donna okay David in Ottawa thank you

  1. These are immediate steps Canada ?? needs to minimize Chinese interference:
    – limiting the number of diplomatic and consular officials (spies) allowed in Canada,
    – closing down the Toronto and Vancouver consulates,
    – creating a foreign agent registry making foreign interference a crime,
    – closing down Beijing’s “police stations,"
    – canceling "sister city" programs with China,
    – closing down all Confucius institutes,
    – Banning United Front Work and Overseas Chinese Affairs Office operatives from entry to Canada.

  4. So someone in China gave $250,000 to 11 candidates of both liberal and Conservative Party that works out to about $22,000 per politician.
    How on earth do they make the major leap that the government of China is trying to change the outcome of the election ?
    CSIS just parroting the talking points of their puppet master the US State department spreading rumours that China is bad .
    How about CSIS not keep secretes from the Canadian public and tell all what they know instead of implying things .
    This just sounds like normal influence peddling to buy favours from politicians and don’t think for one Minute the Chinese are the only ones doing it .
    Remember Lying Brian and the $300,000 USD in CASH smuggled across the border in paper bags ?
