The messages were associated with a news account in the application of Chinese Wechat social networks called “Youli-Youkian”, which is linked to the Chinese Communist Party according to the security and intelligence threats for the elections (site) of the working group. The task force of the site refused to classify publications as necessarily positive, which insisted that some references to Carney were neutral and emphasized that, in his opinion, foreign propaganda was not material that affects Canadian elections. He described the content only as about Mark Carney.
He Globe and mail The newspaper described the publications how to celebrate Carney for challenging Trump in his tariff policy, which has been favorable for Canada in relation to many other countries. According to reports, a publication described Carney as an “rock stars economist,” while another praised him as a “first prime minister” and shared a description of him as “the only adult in the room.” The positions were reported in Chinese text and attacked to Chinese-Canadian voters.
“The task force of the site observed large peaks of non -authentic coordinated behavior preceded the electoral campaign, on March 10, and again door of the writing period on March 25, 2025,” said the government agency in a statement. “The site task group will discuss this problem with Tencent, the Wechat developer, to raise our concerns.”

“I do not think we can talk to the intention, but I will say that the RPC (Popular Republic of China) should not try to shape the opinions of the Canadians, particularly killing an electoral period,” said Kempton.
Talking to him National PostThe former national security analyst Stephanie Carvin described that the positions were not in a “complete throat” or Carney, instead painting more subtly a positive image of the prime minister.
“It could be that they are trying to support Carney. It could be that they simply try the waters,” Carvin suggested. “And then, the third thing could be something that they felt a message that may simply be clear to us. Because being very clear here, they don’t always understand democracy.”
Canada has scheduled a general election for April 28 to replace Prime Minister Pro-China, Justin Trudeau, who resigned in January after a shameful exhibition that tries to negotiate with the then elected president Trump in Florida last year. The Liberal Party Hurriedly replaced Trudeau with Carney – An expert in life for life without political experience – In March and quickly scheduled an election to limit the duration of the electoral cycle.
The main rival of Carney is the leader of the Conservative Party, Pierre Poilievre, who is campaigning largely to reduce taxes and cost of living in the country.
Pailievre has intervened only in a limited way in the revelation of Chinese electoral interference. The main official of the foreign policy of conservatives, the Minister of Foreign Affairs in the shadow, Michael Chong, issued a statement on Monday accusing China of trying to be elected.
“They do not make mistakes, the Communist Party in Beijing is getting involved in a sophisticated campaign to interfere in the Canada’s elections with the aim of re -elected Mark Carney and the liberals to a fourth term,” Chong said. “The next Canada government must be elected only by Canadians and Canadians.”
“They know that the liberals have remained Beijing interfered in our democracy, attacked and harassed our citizens, and threatened Canada’s interests at home and abroad,” Chong observed, votes that Pailievre “Woubd Puttry.”
The note about harassing Canadian citizens seems to be a reference to a separate scandal that involves Mark Carney that exploded last week when it was revealed that a candidate for the Parliament of the Former Liberal Party now encouraged the Chinese Canadians that the Chinese government would give them a “reward of millions of dollars.” Carney was standing with Chiang, refusing to demand that he renounce the representation of the liberals. Chiang finally retired from the race, but not at the public instances of Carney.
Carney has a long history in finance that took him near China. After Chiang’s debacle, Canadian media discovered an article in the state Daily Beijing Describing Carney’s visit to the Chinese capital in October when he was still the Chief of Brookfield Asset Management. According to reports, Carney was an enthusiastic defender or a Chinese investment.
He said Carney “personally highlighted the great interest of Brookfield Asset Management in taking advantage of development in China, further expanding his business in Beijing, and deepening cooperation with relevant partners in the investment of areas, fund management and the infrast structure.”
A month after the visit of Carney, Brookfield obtained a loan of $ 276 million to 15 years with a four percent interest from a Chinese bank.
“His company owes the Chinese state bank a quarter of one billion dollars,” Pailievre observed last week. “The candidate and liberal deputy protected that he said that a Canadian citizen should be delivered to Beijing for a reward. And now we discovered that he pressed the weeks of the Chinese government before becoming PM to” deepen cooperation. “
Carney liberals lead the conservatives in most of the main national surveys, on Tuesday showed the average CBC surveys. Surveys that CBC tracks have found an average support or 44 percent for liberals compared to 36.9 percent for conservatives. In January, before Carney assuming the leadership of the party, Pailievre led the liberals for more than 20 points.
