PIFI report, tariff bailout, Ontario election and more
Description
No evidence of “traitors” in Parliament. The report of the public inquiry into foreign election meddling describes the involvement of outside countries in Canada’s electoral process as “marginal”. Commissioner Marie-Josée Hogue says she’s found no proof that any elections or federal legislation have been affected by foreign interference. Hogue says there is an existential threat to democracy: disinformation.
Also: The federal government is ready to pull the trigger on pandemic-style financial help for people and industries affected by a tariff war with the United States.
And: Ontario Premier Doug Ford calls a snap election. Ford says he needs a new mandate to protect the province from tariffs. The opposition parties are also drawing attention to other issues like healthcare.
Plus: ICE raids in the U.S., fracking and earthquakes, climate change and the LA fires, and more.
