Yes, but only if that country is being interfered with by another country to prevent corporate takeovers and protect other nations national self determination.

 @9WKLBWBfrom British Columbia  answered…3wks3W

Yes, we should not interfere but we should influence people in other countries to expose the unfairness of sham democracies.

 @9WFR74Q from Alberta  answered…3wks3W

Absolutely not. There is far too much potential for bad actors with biases to pull the strings on another countries government for ill intentioned politicians/agencies/militaries/financiers.
We should never interfere with another countries voting and policies.

 @9T6GQ6Ffrom New York  answered…2mos2MO

No, so long as it is a bourgeois government reflecting the interests of the class oppressing the working class.

 @9RZPX67from Alberta  answered…3mos3MO

yes, we must ally with big fish like the USA, before more foreign interference from BRICS can come unabridged into our country

 @9RBVFQQfrom Prince Edward Island  answered…4mos4MO

No, democracy should not be infringed. Golden rule; treat others as you would hope to be treated yourself.

 @9GNXXXTfrom British Columbia  answered…1yr1Y

Only influence through economic, diplomatic, military or other solutions, but not through democracy.

 @9FB4M2Cfrom Quebec  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, but only to the benefit of Canadian citizens and at the detriment of another country.

 @Jatzuyufrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

No, your country your own influence. Influencing foreign elections may lead to arising complications between the relationship of countries.

 @8TN4GLWfrom Quebec  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, if any candidates who have a high chance of winning these elections pose a threat to Canada or its allies.

 @8TG6NWWfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

 @shaelynjfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

yes because what effects them could effect us, i don’t think we should get physically involved but should help in protecting the people

 @98FPFSYLiberalfrom British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

No. I think that this is a bad move that goes against our democratic values, and makes us look just as bad as the state we're trying to "save". This has often backfired throughout history.

 @8V76GNDNew Democraticfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

If we focus on cleaning up our own back yard we will be a better example. We should use influence to support global human rights, environmental stewardship, and collaborative economic sustainability.

 @9D36K4QLiberalfrom British Columbia  answered…1yr1Y

No, influence can be made through diplomacy and other channels such as sanctions and trade, as well as military, and we shouldn't interfere with elections.

 @9C5S2B5from British Columbia  answered…1yr1Y

 @8Z87ZRQfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, pressure them to catch up w the West in women's rights, children's, LGBT and animal. Cultural relativism is a cowardly betrayal of rights that MUST be universal.

 @8Y4YDJTfrom Quebec  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8XZMDGYfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but only in countries which agree to participate in and display a great likelihood of succeeding in an electoral system.

 @8WFRGBHfrom Quebec  answered…3yrs3Y

No but make sure government had it’s own and firm stand on corrupt.. despotic leaders

 @99L7RQQPeople’sfrom Newfoundland  answered…2yrs2Y

No. Sovereign countries should be left to decide their own destinies without outside interference.

 @95MCFPKLiberalfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

Foreign elections in other countries aren't really any of Canada's business to be honest.

 @95DH7PGfrom British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

No, this makes us go against some of our most important principles in tampering with democratic systems. If we were to do this, are we any better than dictators and despots who have sham elections? No. But we can influence countries through diplomatic efforts and shared interests to help make progress on global issues.

 @Canadian1from Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8TY2F6Hfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

United Nations should collectively agree and do so. This way no one country is singled out as being intrusive.

 @8TXCC9Yfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, if the elected party would be a serious threat and hazard to the most unprotected of the population or is hostile and violent to canada and what it stands for

 @8LVHB2Kfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but only to protect the country from human rights violations by a tyrannical ruler, by influencing public opinion.

 @8PKBLYVfrom Nova Scotia  answered…4yrs4Y

No, but outreach to foreign areas regarding their political rights and how and where to go for their voices to be heard would be nice.

 @8CX6YRPfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

 @558YLXVanswered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but only publicly; no country should covertly influence or interfere with foreign elections.

 @8KTRB5Z from Ohio  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but only to protect the country from human rights violations by a tyrannical ruler. The U.S. government should not tamper with the voting process of foreign elections.

 @9JK2D7Gfrom Ontario  answered…10mos10MO

Only to the extent it can be used to break up authoritarian regimes. Democratic countries are not to be interfered with.

 @8T9PVBS from Texas  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, other countries are interfering with our elections too much and we should start doing it back

 @92YHQCV from California  answered…2yrs2Y

No, after all, we should not try to influence any other country’s elections or policy because it’s not only ended in disaster in the long run, but it would be considered a Crime against Democracy, aka Democracide. However, personally, we should, but only to A. address security threats, not monetary interests, B. protect the country from human rights violations by a tyrannical ruler, and C. influence public opinion, & not tamper with a fair voting process, just as long as our actions are not considered a Democracide aka Crimes against Democracy, then I’m for it.

 @8YPV9GGanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, to the extent that not doing so would have catastrophic consequences for the world. As such, this should only be done against countries who are endangering the world via nuclear threat or climate change-related behaviors. Which is to say Russia and Brazil specifically, maybe India.

 @8TB798W from Texas  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8Y9795B from Michigan  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but only if a potential leader is a threat to countries outside of the one they'd be elected to.
