Liberals ignored CSIS warning on 2019 candidate accused in Chinese interference probe: sources
Global’s investigation into Chan’s activities in Don Valley North also raises questions of whether CSIS and the RCMP can investigate Canadian politicians, intelligence and political sources said.It also brings up concerns that Trudeau’s office may have downplayed warnings about Chan because of his fundraising ties to senior party officials.
In response to Global’s questions about Dong’s nomination, Chan said that he supported Dong’s candidacy but added that he supported many other federal Liberal candidates. Intelligence sources added they believe Canadians need to know how deeply endangered future elections are and that the citizens most impacted are Chinese Canadians, many of whom fear the power of Chinese President Xi Jinping’s growing influence and security apparatus in Canada.
“Individuals who are not Canadian citizens, and therefore cannot vote in elections at any level of government in Canada — can still vote in a party nomination process as long as they are party members,” the CSIS record says. “CSIS reporting indicates that, during a political party nomination vote prior to the 2019 General Election in Canada, two busloads of Chinese Canadian seniors were brought in to support a specific candidate,” the report says.
