Liberals’ election monitors kept warnings of Chinese electoral influence to themselves

According to a report from Blacklock's Reporter Friday morning, federal campaign watchers admitted to seeing "implications that foreign interference could be occurring" in the 2021 campaign but told no one.

“We determined a threshold – and this is not a bright line, this is a value judgment on the part of the panel – had not been met,” testified Rob Stewart, who now serves as a deputy trade minister and acted as an election monitor in 2021.

“That, as it happened, means we did not define a threshold since it was not meant. But we were seeing indications that foreign interference could be occurring.”

A CSIS whistleblower claims senior Liberals were warned about the Chinese communist government influence that was targeting Liberal MP Han Dong for victory in his nomination by intimidating seniors and foreign students to vote for him.

The CSIS leaker claims Prime Minister Trudeau intervened to stop the party from axing Dong's nomination.

Dong is one of eleven Liberals that CSIS claims benefited from Chinese interference. Trudeau has dismissed as racist claims that Dong is CCP- influenced. Dong skipped a Liberal-sponsored vote to condemn China's genocide against Turkic Muslims and Uyghurs.

However, ethnically Chinese Conservative MPs Kenny Chiu and Alice Wong lost their seats in B.C. due to a Chinese influence campaign.

CSIS called Dong "a writing affiliate in China's election interference networks."
