Sam Cooper exposes Liberal MP Michael Ma’s ties to Chinese influence network
Ma faced swift backlash after dismissing concerns about Chinese forced labour in the House of Commons.

Investigative journalist Sam Cooper, founder of The Bureau and one of Canada’s top reporters on foreign interference, has highlighted serious concerns about Liberal MP Michael Ma’s aggressive defence of China in Parliament.
During a recent House of Commons committee hearing, Ma repeatedly challenged a witness on forced labour and child labour in China, demanding short answers and questioning her personal observations despite well-documented evidence from Human Rights Watch and other credible sources.
Cooper detailed how Ma, who defected from the Conservatives to join Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberals and travelled with him to China, previously served as a director of the Chinese Canadian Conservative Association — an entity linked by the respected Jamestown Foundation to Beijing’s United Front Work Department.
Chinese state media celebrated Ma’s performance and attacked the Canadian witness. Ma later apologized, but Carney continued to praise him at a fundraiser.
Cooper warned that the incident reveals deeper infiltration efforts targeting both major parties, raising fresh questions about the Carney government’s pivot toward closer ties with the Chinese Communist Party, including plans to import thousands of Chinese-made electric vehicles.

Brian Jansen commented 2026-04-06 21:00:27 -0400Has anybody followed up on the 100 conflicts of interest of Carney being selected PM. And while we’re at it how about the 42 contracts given to Brookfield by Carney also. -
Annette Mort commented 2026-04-05 07:27:58 -0400What in hell was this guy doing in the Conservative caucus? Are candidates not vetted in any way? All of this information was apparently known; he shouldn’t have gotten anywhere near a Canadian political party, let alone have a seat in Commons. I’ve not seen this aspect addressed at all, by anyone.

James Henry commented 2026-04-03 21:53:53 -0400Just enjoyed the interview with Sam Cooper. With respect to Carney/Liberal lying, has anyone followed up on Carney’s passports? Did he give up his UK and Ireland passports as promised? This would be the kind of reporting I expect from Rebel.
