When questioned by a Toronto (GTA) World Beyond War member at an all-candidates meeting last night Defense (War) Minister Bill Blair "clarified" the government's stance on arms exports to Israel. Though he asserted "that's the truth" twice, what he said was not indeed truthful.

This is the section I quoted of the FT article that I believe is relevant and rises to foreign interference:

“The FT’s analysis, in collaboration with a team of researchers at the University of Southern California led by Luca Luceri, identified a network of suspicious accounts promoting rightwing memes and news sources collected from posts appearing for the queries: #cdnpoli, Canada, Mark Carney, Pierre Poilievre.
The accounts have tell-tale signs of being bots: posting at very high volume and frequency, often only retweeting content, and consistently sharing a variety of common links — in this case promoting Poilievre and attacking Carney. Often the accounts push misleading content, such as associating Carney with the late disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Luceri said: “Our approach is deliberately cautious to reduce misclassification and minimise false positives — ensuring that organic accounts are not misclassified as malicious actors.””

Here is the definition of Foreign Interference in the Act. It seems pretty clear to me that it applies.

“Foreign interference in the Canadian electoral process can pose a serious threat to our democracy. All allegations of
wrongdoing on the part of a foreign person or entity are taken seriously and are carefully examined to determine
whether they fall within the Commissioner's mandate.

• Undue influence by foreigners

**** Foreign persons or entities are prohibited from unduly influencing a Canadian elector to vote or refrain from voting, or to vote or refrain from voting for a particular candidate or registered party. *****

Examples of undue influence may include an individual who does not reside in Canada who is neither a Canadian citizen nor a permanent resident knowingly incurring expenses that directly promote or oppose:
• a candidate in an election;
• a registered party that has endorsed a candidate in that election; or
• the leader of such a registered party.

It may also include attempts to influence the elector that involve committing an act or omission that is contrary to federal or provincial laws and regulations.”

Entities on X are attempting to manipulate Canadians to vote for one party in the Canadian election.

I have submitted a report to the Commissioner of Canada Elections. Any Canadian can. I encourage you to do the same.

This is the reporting website:
cef-cce.ca/content.asp?section

Based on the reporting from FT today of right wing influence campaigns on X, I believe there is an attempt by foreign actors — possibly indirectly or directly connected to the Trump Administration — to manipulate the Canadian electorate.

Everything that happens on X is enabled by one person, Elon Musk, who occupies a key role in the Administration of the United States of America.
