Former Canadian politician suspected of foreign interference, says intelligence agency

Canada's intelligence agency has revealed that a former politician is suspected of trying to influence Parliament for a foreign government. This incident is part of a newly released list of six significant foreign interference cases in Canada. The list includes four cases previously mentioned in an inquiry into foreign influence during the 2019 and 2021 elections. Two cases, including the suspected politician's actions, were not disclosed before. Another case on the list involves a foreign government attempting to block the election of a Liberal MP. This interference was aimed at undermining the candidate due to their positions on issues against the foreign government's interests.
