Okay, so we are having a public enquiry now?
From the article, it sounds like there were a number of allegations that Johnston didn’t investigate, so that makes sense.
Getting the opposition parties to agree on the head of the enquiry before it starts seems like a good idea.
Why just Chinese interference? Let’s have a public inquiry and get it all out in the open. Including US interference which will be found to dwarf every other state’s interference by an order of magnitude. Unless someone can point out another country that owns as much media in Canada (Postmedia, anyone?)
The NDP is talking about increasing scope to include other states.
I’m pretty sure a foreign agent registry (of implemented properly) would cover any and all state actors.
Is it just me that cares about institutional influence and not just state influence? They’re equally dangerous given the power and political associations of many of these institutions.
