Election integrity protesters are gathering outside Liberal MP Han Dong’s office on Monday at 4pm.
The protest was organized by a former Iranian dissident who has been a vocal voice in Toronto against authoritarian regimes and policies.
“This isn’t an issue of left or right. We are united for free & fair elections in Canada,” tweeted Salmon Sima, the event organizer.
“To protect election integrity we will gather in front of Han Dong‘s constituency office. We stand strong against foreign interference in Canadian elections,” reads his Facebook page where the protest information is posted.
Sima spoke to The Counter SIgnal and reiterated the protest is non-partisan and that all are welcome to join, including NDP and Liberal voters.
“I hope those who care about democracy show up,” he said.
“We need to protect canada from Putin’s regime, CCP & IRGC.”
As recently reported, Canada’s last three elections have been put into question after Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) members leaked information to the media that alleged the Chinese Communist Party has been actively working to have Liberals hold office while conducting disinformation campaigns against conservative candidates.
In one instance, Chinese billionaire Zhang Bin was told by a Chinese government official that if he donated $1 million to the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation, Beijing would reimburse him – a conversation overheard by CSIS.
Another CSIS allegation suggests that the CCP mobilized Chinese international students to campaign for Liberal candidates such as Han Dong, now MP for Don Valley North.
Over 10 MPs have allegedly been helped by the CCP to win their ridings.
CSIS further alleged that the CCP employed disinformation campaigns through Chinese outlets to influence Chinese-Canadians’ votes.
Following the bombshell leaks alleging the CCP interfered in the 2015, 2019 and 2021 Canadian federal elections to help Justin Trudeau win, MPs from the Conservative Party, Bloc Québécois, and NDP voted to recommend an independent public inquiry into Chinese election interference.
Trudeau had been dismissing the need for a public inquiry, and suggested that anyone concerned with Chinese electoral interference is a racist.
This vote puts Trudeau in a position where he can either respect the majority vote among elected MPs and permit the public inquiry, or disregard it and cast a shadow over Canada’s 2015, 2019, and 2021 elections.
Trudeau has stalled on permitting or denying the public inquiry since the vote passed last week in favour of one.
