Losing Canada

From the article:
Canada, in marked contrast, is fast becoming an honorary Third World country from a national security point of view. This is due, at least in part, to Washington’s benign neglect of Canada, thereby encouraging the belief that Canada could embrace China and indulge in diaspora politics with impunity.
Sounds like the author made this up. The guy just wants Canada to significantly up its military spending.

Those traditional explanations are now taking a back seat to revelations of the extent of China’s penetration of Canada’s institutions at every level, including its political parties.
Canada’s security services have been sounding the alarm on China’s growing interference and nefarious activities for decades; indifference and hostility were official Ottawa’s response. Recently leaked intelligence assessments that Chinese Communist Party United Front operatives worked actively to influence the results of elections at every level have finally caused the public to take notice of the CCP’s clandestine activities.
The twice repeated “at every level” is over the top.
There is a call, or better, a demand for a public inquiry into Chinese interference. However, the the demand is for the inquiry to determine whether or not the Liberal government was made aware of what China was doing and acted on the intelligence. Right now it would seem the Trudeau Liberals did not heed the intelligence. Its reluctance to launch an inquiry stems from the fact that the current government will fall if an inquiry determines wilful negligence.
