You see, it is happening everywhere.

In the last election there was evidence that China worked to ensure the Conservative candidate lost. They were responsible with promoting some false stories as I remember which media in Canada gladly picked up and promoted.


The House of Commons is being asked to consider whether Lauren Chen — a Canadian influencer accused of aiding a Russian propaganda campaign — should be found in contempt of Parliament after she refused to answer MPs' questions during a parliamentary committee hearing Tuesday.

Chen was summoned to appear before the House of Commons public safety and national security committee in the wake of explosive allegations in the U.S. linking her and her husband to a foreign influence operation.

In September, the U.S. Justice Department unsealed an indictment against two Russian nationals, accusing them of setting up a conservative media outlet as a front for pro-Kremlin propaganda.

The media outlet was not named in the indictment but it was clear from its details that the charges referred to Tenet Media, founded in 2023 by Chen and her husband, Liam Donovan.
