Over the past few years, foreign interference has become a massive talking point in Canadian politics. And as we enter the meat of a snap election, today’s political parties need to remain on high-alert. This week, Mark Carney and the Liberals faced their first test. Peter Yuen, who was tabbed to replace the recently-resigned Paul Chiang, has alleged connections to a Beijing-based group. While his role with that group ended a decade ago, Yuen refused to say whether he supports China's interference efforts, nor did he engage in a debate about an independent Taiwan. Carney also met with the executives of the JCCC, according to its website, which described his entry into politics as ‘an important turning point’ in the upgrading of China-Canada relations. Are today’s leaders doing enough due diligence to avoid this type of stuff? Andrew Pinsent welcomes Postmedia columnist Warren Kinsella, GZero Media contributor Tasha Kheiriddin, and Traxxion Strategies President Karl Belanger to the Sunday Political Panel.
