China tried to meddle but Canadians decided the last two elections, says PM Trudeau
reuters.com/world/americas/china-tried-meddle-canadians-decided-last-two-elections-says-pm-trudeau-2024-04-10/
Quick Glance: Alleged Chinese Interference in Canadian Elections: Trudeau Confirms Independence
- Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reported to an official inquiry that China attempted to intervene in the last two Canadian elections, but the outcomes were unaffected, and it was deemed 'improbable' that Beijing favored a specific party.
- Under pressure from opposition lawmakers dissatisfied with media reports on China's potential involvement in the elections, Trudeau established the commission.
- Erin O'Toole, who led the main opposition Conservative party during the 2021 campaign, estimated that Chinese interventions may have cost his party up to nine seats but did not alter the election's course. Trudeau's Liberal Party emerged victorious in both instances.
- Canada's domestic intelligence agency informed the commission of China's 'clandestine and deceptive' interference in both elections, marking the most substantial evidence thus far of suspected Chinese meddling in Canadian politics.

Quick Glance: TOWIE Star Encounters Adam Sandler at Exclusive Hotel, Photo Sparks Buzz
- The meeting between TOWIE star Amy Childs and Hollywood actor Adam Sandler has caused a stir on social media, with her fans being impressed by the photo.
- Amy radiated glamour as usual, flashing a wide smile and sporting the typical sunglasses of a TV star. A casually dressed Adam in a blue hoodie posed for a selfie with the 33-year-old The Only Way Is Essex star. Amy captioned the photo with: "What a moment… I just met @adamsandler, what a lovely guy… totally impressed."
- Some critics commented on Adam's appearance that day, with one writing: "Why do the super-rich always look like tramps! Honestly, at least wash your face, darling". Others were simply surprised by the image and could only express their amazement with "omg" comments.
