It's very disturbing to learn that the Liberal Party actively amplified Beijing disinformation. They were not a mere bystander to it. It's worse than turning a blind eye, that's for sure.
Now, it came to light at the public inquiry on foreign interference that during the 2019 election, the Prime Minister's department, the PCO, detected disinformation about Justin Trudeau in an article circulating on Facebook. The Prime Minister's department asked Facebook to remove that article because they said that it risked threatening the integrity of the election.
By contrast, when the Prime Minister's department was asked about the disinformation targeting you and the Conservative Party that was circulating on WeChat during the 2021 election, and about why they didn't ask for that disinformation to be taken down, a representative from the Prime Minister's department said dismissively that “the content would likely only reach Chinese diaspora readers.”
What do you make of that explanation, and what does it say about how this government operates?
