SUMMARY:Shadows over Canada: Confronting foreign influence
DESCRIPTION:Foreign interference. Money laundering. Undue influence by powerful insiders. These are just some of the hidden threats facing Canada’s democracy. It’s time to unmask these forces – subjecting them to hard scrutiny before they can further erode our democratic institutions. \nJoin MLI for a timely discussion with senior experts on the policy choices Canada must make to address its growing vulnerabilities. Our panel – including a former solicitor general\, veteran investigators\, and a senior fellow with national security experience – will reveal how illicit networks\, substate capture\, and abuse of public office undermine Canadian democracy. In addition\, participants will consider concrete policy and institutional reforms that Canada needs to confront these risks. Based on fresh investigations and new insights\, this event exposes threats too often overlooked. \nReception to follow at All Saints 5:00 -7:00 PM (330 Laurier Ave E). \nPlease register for the event here. \nEvent Program: \n\n3:00 pm: Doors open\, with refreshments\n3:30 pm: Welcoming remarks by Christopher Coates\, MLI\n3:40 pm: Panel begins\, moderated by Kevin Vuong\, with panelists: Hon. Wayne Easter\, Garry Clement\, and Dean Baxendale\n5:00 pm: End of event\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCopies of Canada Under Siege: How PEI Became a Forward Operating Base for the Chinese Communist Party will be available for purchase at the event.
