  • A federal inquiry into PRC interference—drawing on the insight of intelligence officials, diaspora community advocates, and national security experts—must not only ask hard questions, but also deliver enforceable recommendations. Like the Hillsborough Inquiry in the United Kingdom, or our own investigation into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, such an inquiry must run parallel to—not replace—any criminal investigations, ensuring that no stone is left unturned.

    Didn’t the last one recommend the creation of a foreign influence registry? Wasn’t the legislation supporting it passed in 2024?

    Another inquiry is fine, but that registry seems like it should be done first.


  • The lesson of the vanishing votes for Canada’s leading social democratic party is the same. People don’t believe that anyone will show up for them anymore. They don’t believe in the system’s capacity to make their lives better over decades, so they seek quick policy fixes that sound good now. Driven in large part by online platforms that deliberately atomize our experience, our society now speaks a new common tongue, a hybrid language of economic frustration, grievance, and isolation.
