A vote for Mark Conman is a vote for China.

OTTAWA — Canada's election security watchdog has accused the Chinese government of promoting Liberal Leader Mark Carney in what its calling an "information operation" taking place on Chinese-language social media.
In a Monday morning press conference, Laurie-Anne Kempton, of the Privy Council Office, said the operation is currently being undertaken by Youli-Youmian — the most popular news site on the WeChat social media platform.
"Intelligence reporting links the Youli-Youmian account to the PRC (People's Republic of China) Chinese Community Party's central political and legal affairs commission," said Kempton during the press conference, joined by other members of the Security and Intelligence Threats to Elections (SITE) task force.
The operation, she said, concerns stories about Carney that amplify his stance on the United States, while also targeting his experience and credentials.
"The SITE task force assesses that the foreign state backed operation was intended to influence Canadian Chinese communities, and looked to mold perceptions about the candidate," Kempton said.
"The campaign received high levels of user engagement and views, between 85,000 and 130,000 interactions, and estimate of 1 million to 3 million views."
Carney's garnered scrutiny over a relationship with China described by some pundits as overly cozy — including several meetings with senior Chinese officials, including a sit-down last year with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Conservative incumbent Michael Chong — himself a victim of a Chinese disinformation campaign — said it isn't surprising to see Beijing once again meddling in Canada's elections.
"(Beijing) knows that for a decade the Liberals have turned a blind eye to Beijing's interference in Canada's democracy," he said.
"They know that the Liberals have stood by as Beijing interfered in our democracy, targeted and harassed our citizens, and threatened Canada's interests at home and abroad."
Mark Conman is so compromised he should not even be allowed to be prime minister.
Carney's Brookfield ties to China take the spotlight
Liberal Party of Canada Leader Mark Carney can't seem to shake his controversial past work with the investing firm Brookfield Asset Management.

Liberal Party of Canada Leader Mark Carney can't seem to shake his controversial past work with the investing firm Brookfield Asset Management. The company's investments and ties to the communist government in China have the Liberal leader dogged by accusations of foreign conflicts of interest.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre sounded the alarm over what he calls Carney's potential conflicts of interest with China. Poilievre pointed to the Liberal leader's ties to a company that allegedly secured a massive loan from a Chinese state bank just weeks after Carney allegedly secretly met with the deputy governor of the Chinese central bank.
Poilievre outlined the questionable timeline in a post to X.
On September 9, 2024, former prime minister Justin Trudeau named Carney the chair of a task force on economic growth.
The following month, Carney met with the deputy director of the People's Bank of China, according to Poilievre and a Chinese-language news article he cited in his post. Then, a few weeks later, Brookfield allegedly secured a $250 million loan from a Chinese state-owned bank.
The Conservatives previously demanded that Carney reveal his Brookfield stock options to Canadians, accusing the Liberal leader of raking in millions from his past business.
Carney subsequently admitted to potential conflicts of interest, saying that he would "probably" have to recuse himself from decisions on some files.
Poilievre questioned whether Carney could be trusted to act in Canada's interest given the uncertainty surrounding his financial assets.
"Given that Mr. Carney knows that he still owns massive financial interests in Brookfield, which owes a quarter billion dollars to a Chinese state-controlled bank, how do we know he's not going to act against our interests in favour of his financial interests?" was one of the many questions Poilievre asked.
He also asked how Carney could stand up to foreign interference while having questionable financial ties.
"We have never in our history had a weak, out-of-touch leader so terribly compromised and conflicted, whose interests go against our national interests," said Poilievre, who called on Carney to publicly state whether the loan was still in place and if he still owned the assets.
The CBC is spinning this to make it look like Conman is a target rather than a beneficiary of Chinese interference.

Folks need to ask why does China want Mark Carney to be the leader of Canada so badly.

Carney has so many conflicts of interest he should be disqualified immediately. Maybe even charged as a traitor and tax evader.
China isn't done messing with our elections or trying to keep the Liberals in power. Federal officials announced Monday that a campaign on WeChat, the Chinese social media platform, has been targeting Mark Carney.
Now, by targeting, it appears that they are supporting Carney based on the stories posted and promoted.

In the election 2019, the Chinese government targeted a number of ridings across Canada attempting to ensure MPs whose views on China aligned more with Beijing were elected. After the 2021 election, a Chinese diplomat boasted about having had success in ensuring certain voices(all Liberals) were elected and others defeated.
Conservative Kenny Chiu was defeated in 2021 in the Vancouver riding of Steveston—Richmond East. Chiu, originally from Hong Kong, said that a malicious campaign against him had spread on WeChat and he believed it was due to his support for a foreign agent's registry.
Now, we have a clear campaign with direct ties back to Beijing supporting — not targeting — Mark Carney.
Carney has had extensive business ties with China over the years.
When he was governor of the Bank of England, Carney oversaw the move to work more closely with China and Chinese banks. In 2016, Carney worked with Zhou Xiaochuan, then governor of the People's Bank of China on green finance initiatives.
That was a theme he picked up on when he moved to the private sector at Brookfield Asset Management. Carney helped Brookfield dramatically increase their investments in China and just last October, during a visit to Beijing, Carney helped the company secure a $276 million loan from a state-owned bank.
Carney's ties to China are deep, of course President Xi Jinping would want him to be elected to lead Canada.
The question is will Canadians decide to elect someone favoured not only by Xi in Beijing, but also by President Donald Trump in Washington.

This should sink the Mark Carney campaign. But, with the help of the Liberal friendly media, nothing sticks to them.
The Liberals punished nobody for China's interference on behalf of the Liberals, so now they're helping the Liberals again.

Pierre wants to protect our elections. Carney benefits from foreign manipulation.
It's that simple.

Carney takes a three day campaign pause with each new scandal. I don't know why, it's not like he takes questions anyway.
