Canada's elections intelligence task force, known as SITE, will closely monitor the upcoming Liberal Party leadership race for potential foreign interference. Established in 2019, SITE aims to safeguard democratic institutions and will provide security advice to leadership candidates. This move reflects growing concerns about external influence in democratic processes, ensuring transparency and integrity in the election. Federal security agencies are emphasizing the importance of protecting Canada's electoral system from outside threats.

Good to see they're taking foreign interference seriously—let’s just hope they’re as vigilant across the board, not just when it benefits the Liberals.

Any form of foreign interference should void an election.

Foreign interference is definitely something to keep an eye on, but honestly, the bigger threat to democracy is often the government itself meddling in elections. Do we really need more federal agencies sticking their noses into the process and consolidating power? Politicians should focus on decentralizing control and letting individuals and local communities make decisions without all this top-down oversight. Transparency is important, but so is limiting government overreach.
