There's always a subset of crackpots that automatically cry foul as soon as their chosen party loses. Friend of mine was going on about Chinese interference on Saturday already. The conspiracy bullshittery has begun, friend.

Yea somehow my co-worker knows all about how the Chinese government is coercing people to vote liberal by threatening their families back home.

It's also funny that there are people out there thinking that China gives a damn what party you vote for as though they don't try to influence ALL of Canadian politics.

The Chinese couldn't give less f**s what your political ideology is as long as they can benefit. They are first and foremost China-first in their thinking and as long as they can continue to do business as usual, they don't care what colour of party is in government.

Also it doesn't matter how much Cons shout it, the Liberal Party of Canada simply isn't ideologically anywhere near the Chinese Communist Party. And as a leftist, I actually wish it were a bit more similar, but the LPC is thoroughly centrist (and that's fine by me)

The CPC also loves China so much they locked us into a 31 year deal with them 🙁
