In an amazing revelation before the foreign interference probe, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau disclosed that he got reliable information from CSIS about probable election meddling during the 2019 federal election but ignored it. According to intelligence briefings, Trudeau was cautioned about suspicious activities including mobilizing Chinese students to support a Liberal candidate in Don Valley North.

However, even though CSIS and Security and Intelligence Threats to Elections (SITE) task force raised concerns about this matter, Trudeau maintained that he can’t act because this information “wasn’t good enough” for him. He compared mobilization of Chinese voters with mobilization by Italian and Greek Canadians called upon by him during his own nomination race thus downplaying its magnitude.

A casual attitude towards Canada’s elections’ integrity by Trudeau should be deeply concerning. By not taking immediate measures against possible foreigners’ interference he has eroded faith of citizens in democratic process leaving them at the mercy of agents acting on behalf of hostile entities.

The prime minister’s insistence to doubt intelligence briefings despite calling on Canadians to have confidence in those agencies emphasizes yet again how inconsistently he addresses this issue of vital importance. His excuse given for lack of action was premised on the fact that government post-election panels were not created in 2015 or 2019.

We need a leader who will fight tooth and nail to protect our elections and take all necessary steps to safeguard our democratic institutions. The implications are grave if he does not; it means that we cannot trust him when it comes to free, fair elections.

Justin Trudeau's Desperate Attempts To Win Election

Also, Trudeau’s actions have had far reaching implications. He has allowed the problem to compound instead of addressing potential interference that could be a soft spot for future attacks on Canadian democracy. Furthermore, holding back information from public underlining national security grounds only served further destroy faith among Canadians as regards governments’ ability to protect our electoral system.

Ultimately, Trudeau’s actions or lack thereof during this critical juncture have cast a dark shadow over his leadership and the credibility of the government he represents. Canadians deserve better, and it is time for the prime minister to take decisive action to safeguard our democratic institutions and restore public trust in the electoral process.

The revelations from the foreign interference inquiry have exposed a troubling pattern of complacency and inaction from Trudeau’s administration when it comes to addressing foreign meddling in Canadian elections. In failing to prioritize national security over politics as well as downplaying intelligence agencies’ concerns on issues such as democracy integrity, Trudeau has abdicated his primary responsibility as Canada’s leader.

All of this goes beyond political loyalties or party-line affiliations; it strikes at the very heart of our democratic system. We expect and need a government that will stand up for our democratic institutions regardless of partisan consequences. By refusing strong immediate action against credible threats to our democracy, Trudeau has betrayed voters’ trust in him.

Justin Trudeau's Untouchable Connections

The ongoing investigation into the extent of foreign meddling will further strain the trust of Canadians in Trudeau’s capability to preserve our democratic system. The political future of the prime minister is at risk if there are no firm actions taken by him to solve this problem and restore faith in the electoral system, which may eventually lead to the collapse of democracy in Canada. This fight is fierce than never before, and it is either Trudeau rises with it or pays for his own incompetence.
