      This is why he seems so desperate for an early election. Wants to get into power to bury the evidence. Hopefully enough Canadians can see through this charlatan come election time. Even more hopefully, perhaps the evidence will come out soon.

      So CBC releases an article, citing unnamed and anonymous sources that Indian consular officials interfered in the CPC leadership race by acting to undermine Patrick Brown – who is close to the Sikh community in Brampton and has had a public falling out with Indian Prime Minister Modi – even perceived to have personally insulted him.

      The article, alluded to unnamed agents, unnamed sources, vague allegations and no direct evidence. The allegations are directly denied by all the people named in the story and the only source that CBC cites is “Baaz News” – which a platform that operates with an openly activist framework championing chases aligned with the Khalistani narrative.

      Nothing inherently wrong with that, but it blurs the line between reporting facts and pushing an agenda, which CBC fails to mention, when using them as the only named source in any of the allegations.

      Baaz’s coverage tends to amplify claims of Indian interference without always providing robust evidence or engaging with alternative perspectives. This risks turning public perception of complex geopolitical issues into deranged CBC echo chambers that only amplify one side. Baaz often dismisses mainstream Indian media as propaganda (sometimes valid), yet offers little scrutiny of its own sources. Media platforms with strong ideological leanings should be identified as such. CBC risks its credibility by presenting Baaz as neutral when it is not.

      Patrick Brown denies the story; Michelle Rempel Garner categorically denies everything in the story; Pierre Poilievre and the communications team denies the story. And the CBC has provided zero credible evidence to support the story.

      This Pravda-like “piece” might pass muster if presented as an op-ed on the murky waters of foreign interference through speculation on a fractured relationship between Modi and Patrick Brown. However, it presents itself as an informational piece – which it clearly isn’t.

      At a time when foreign interference in Canadian politics is a valid concern, stories like this dilute the conversation. CBC, do better.

      The conclusion is off.

      > The best way to clear that cloud is for him to obtain his security clearance, read the unredacted report and intelligence, and then be honest with Canadians about what happened.

      How can he be honest with Canadians when he can’t discuss classified information? This is the whole reason Trudeau can’t release the names, right?

      What bothers me most about this whole thing is that all parties involved seem happy to make this into another political football to play with rather than addressing the very real problem because it would make them look bad (the story of Canadian politics in a nutshell).
