A Canadian government Task Force that monitors election interference by foreign countries revealed on Monday that Chinese state-linked social media posts were amplifying messages promoting unelected leftist Prime Minister Mark Carney as a “rock star economist” and worthy adversary to President Donald Trump.
BREITBART -- The messages were associated with a news account on the Chinese social media app WeChat called “Youli-Youmian,” which is linked to the Chinese Communist Party according to the Security and Intelligence Threats to Elections (SITE) Task Force.
The SITE task force refused to categorize the posts as necessarily positive, insisting that some references to Carney were neutral, and emphasized that, in its opinion, the foreign propaganda was not materially affecting the Canadian election. It described the content only as being about Mark Carney.
The Globe and Mail newspaper described the posts as celebrating Carney for challenging Trump on his tariff policy, which has been favorable for Canada relative to many other countries.
