The agent who warned Ottawa about Chinese political infiltration years ago
from Full Comment · host Postmedia
Project Sidewinder, a joint CSIS and RCMP report, found evidence of Canadian politicians under Chinese influence, Beijing’s agents funnelling money to Canadian political parties, and communist spies infiltrating Canadian assets and institutions. That was back in 1997. With fresh allegations of China’s electoral interference in Canada, Michel Juneau-Katsuya, the former CSIS intelligence officer behind Project Sidewinder, joins host Brian Lilley to discuss how China has managed to penetrate Canadian politics at every level — and in every party. Juneau-Katsuya also explains why the Sidewinder allegations were ignored, and how Canada can finally get serious about China’s interference.
