Sep. 22: An investigation into election interference during the 2021 Canadian Federal Election

The Roy Green Show

Investigators for the Commissioner of Canadian Elections agreed that the Chinese government before and during the 2021 federal election was actively engaged in pushing Chinese Canadian voters to vote against British Columbia (Steveston-Richmond East) MP Kenny Chiu. These actions concluded the investigators .. "According to Chinse Canadian interview subjects, this invoked a widespread fear amongst electors, described as a fear of retributive measures from Chinese authorities should a CPC government be elected. This included the possibility that travel to and from China could be interfered with by Chinese authorities, as well as measures being taken against family members or business interests in Canada." Yet, concluded the Canadian Elections investigators, the actions by China did not break the (Canadian) law and urged the review of China's actions against CPC MP Kenny Chiu be halted. Chiu was elected in 2019 and defeated in 2021.

Guest: Kenny Chiu. Former Conservative Party of Canada Member of Parliament.
