Interesting. Is this good or bad for Canadas relationship with the U.S at a time when America is trying to win a Cold War against China that could one day become hot?

OTTAWA — Canada’s electoral interference watchdog says the Chinese government is behind recent campaigns on China’s largest social media network to influence views of Liberal Leader Mark Carney.

On March 10 and March 25, Youli-Youmian, the most popular news account on the Chinese social media platform WeChat, shared posts about Liberal Leader Mark Carney that cast him in a generally positive light.

Both posts on the Youli-Youmian account soon caught fire at a suspiciously fast pace, garnering between 85,000 and 130,000 interactions and an estimated one to three million views.

The posts got so much attention so quickly on the Chinese platform that they caught the eye of the Security and Intelligence Threats to Elections (SITE) Task Force, which realized that the Youli-Youmian publications were part of an information campaign by the People’s Republic of China (PRC).

Carney is a Canadian. If his posts have been boosted by China, that's not our concern.

That's why it's in the Canadian section comrade.

Don't you have a slave labourer in China to make some money off of as Americas debt increases?
