Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s itinerary was updated late on Monday to include a last minute announcement set for 5:15pm, with no other details provided.
The Prime Minister’s daily itinerary was updated at 1:53pm to add the announcement to his daily activities.
“5:15 p.m. The Prime Minister will make an announcement. A media availability will follow,” reads the vague update.
Earlier in the day, Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre called for Trudeau to testify regarding claims of election interference.
Meanwhile, 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.
