Bad polling results?
Foreign interference permeates every aspect of partisan politics in Canada from leadership campaign funding, foreign union help, stitching up nomination meetings, dirty tricks in non EN/FR media and of course political funding. All parties are affected. 1/
I agree with Bruce. Foreign interference is either a real threat that deserves a robust policy response or it’s not. I’m firmly in the former camp. The times and tools have changed and 🇨🇦 needs a better defence against them.

There are two standards in Ontario - the one Doug Ford holds his caucus to, and the one the rest of us are held to. While teachers are charged for not wearing masks, Sam Oosterhoff is forgiven and defended at press conferences. It’s shameful.
