The Government of Canada informs: "Canada has long been a target of China's United Front influence campaign. Important ethnic Chinese organizations have been effectively taken over by Beijing, as have most Chinese language media. Chinese embassies and consulates monitor the Chinese ethnic community and coordinate United Front activities." China is also operating Confucian Institutes and 'secret' police stations in Canada. Canada is not immune to foreign interference in elections, as they have become acutely aware of.
