Just months after warning Canadians about China as a national security threat, Prime Minister Mark Carney is now courting Beijing for trade and investment. What changed—and what risks does this pose for Canada’s sovereignty, economy, and elections?
In this episode, host Jim Lang is joined by Dennis Molinaro, former national security analyst, academic, and author of Under Assault, to break down China’s long-standing influence operations in Canada and why deeper ties could come at a steep cost.
Key topics discussed:
• Why Canadian officials need burner phones in China
• Decades of Chinese foreign interference in Canadian elections
• Intellectual property theft, espionage, and economic coercion
• The risks of trade dependence on China vs. the United States
• Taiwan, military escalation, and what it means for Canada
