Trudeau government bans TikTok from operating in Canada

This seems like political theatre. Recently, Trudeau claimed that he has direct evidence against members of the opposition party engaged in "foreign interference" with China[1] There are also allegations by others that members of his own party have also been implicated. And yet he refuses to release the names, or elaborate on any of these allegations for the public.

Essentially, he's using China to distract from his own policy failings at home.

It’s not at all clear that that is even plausible. Also, the CSIS appears to be making very unequivocal statements in support of the policy approach.

Given this latest news about Tik Tok, i'd say it's more than likely, since this is hardly the biggest threat from China, especially if they've compromised members of the government.

You would think it would be an all out 5-alarm fire, and dealt with in the most expedient (and hopefully transparent) way possible. So that the public know they can trust all their government representatives.

The government has investigated itself, and found itself innocent, and following a divine path.

It was the same with the assasination of the Khalistan movement leader in Canada. Trudeau was quick to blame the Indian state without any proof or details. Just “trust me bro, CSIS/CSEC says so”.

That kind of accusation needs some evidence.

This is a poor take because he can't release more information than he already did.

Sorry, yours is the poor take. If the government has the right to seize the bank accounts of Canadians, without due process, then the government also has the power to release any information they want.

Just because they invent reasons to keep it secret, doesn't mean that's what's right, or most healthy for an honest and functioning democracy.

Those don't correlate at all. You're bonkers.

You don't have a clue what you're talking about. You don't provide any evidence about their inability to disseminate the information, you just assert it as fact because you seem to support government overreach.

You do know that "the government" is 1) actually made up of independent branches, and; 2) its various organizations largely operate at arms' length... Right?
