Canada’s intelligence agency, CSIS, has warned that India and China are likely to interfere in the 28th April election, with Russia and Pakistan also posing potential threats.
The report comes amid strained Canada-India and Canada-China relations, with both nations denying the allegations. CSIS found evidence of foreign interference in the 2019 and 2021 elections but stated that the outcomes were not affected, noting Canada’s slow response.
Deputy Director Vanessa Lloyd warned that China will likely use AI-enabled tools to influence the upcoming election.
Tensions between Canada and India worsened last year after Canada accused India of an assassination plot against a Sikh separatist, leading to diplomatic expulsions.
CSIS continues to monitor foreign interference threats, emphasising the need to safeguard democratic processes and maintain public trust.
