2025 Federal Election
Communist China helped boost Mark Carney’s image on social media, election watchdog reports
From LifeSiteNews
The goal, according to the Canadian government, appears to be ‘intended to influence Canadian-Chinese communities in Canada and … mold perceptions’ about the prime minister ahead of the April 28 federal election.
Canada’s Security and Intelligence Threats to Elections Task Force (SITE) confirmed that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) government was behind an online “operation” on WeChat to paint Prime Minister Mark Carney in a positive light.
SITE noted that the CCP helped promote via a web bot “operation” a WeChat social media account that posted positive information about Carney, with the goal to help him win the 2025 federal election.
“The SITE Task Force assesses that the foreign, state-backed information operation was intended to influence Canadian Chinese communities and look to mold perceptions” regarding Carney, Privy Council Office assistant secretary for communications Laurie-Anne Kempton said at a press conference on Monday.
SITE said an “information operation on WeChat” took place by the Youli-Youmian WeChat account backed by the CCP.
WeChat is China’s main social media platform, and SITE said that “bot-like WeChat news accounts appear dedicated to amplifying content from the Youli-Youmian account.”
On March 10 and March 25, Youli-Youmian, who has the most popular news account on the WeChat platform, shared posts with followers that put Carney in a positive light to readers.
Both of the March posts quickly gained traction online with millions of views, catching the attention of SITE, which discovered the social media posts were part of an information war campaign by the CCP government.
“This content has been amplified in a coordinated and inauthentic way,” Kempton said.
“This information operation had contrasting positive and negative narratives, first amplifying Mr. Carney’s stance with the United States and then targeting his experience and credentials.”
The March 10 post from Youli-Youmian bore the title “The US encounters a ‘tough guy’ Prime Minister,” noting tariff negotiations with U.S. President Donald Trump.
As for the March 15 post, it was titled “Canada’s road to a ‘seeking survival’ election.”
SITE noted that the social media bot accounts reposting Youli-Youmian’s content “do not post original content” but instead “continue to repost Youli-Youmian content days after it was originally posted, likely to improve discoverability of the article, and boosting Youli-Youmian’s presence in user feeds.”
“Intelligence reporting links the Youli-Youmian account to the People’s Republic of China (PRC), the Chinese Communist Party’s Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission,” SITE noted.
According to SITE, the information war operation “intended to influence Canadian-Chinese communities in Canada (i.e. speakers of a Chinese language, such as Mandarin, Cantonese, or Hakka) and looked to mold perceptions” about Carney.
Canadians will be heading to the polls on April 28.
As reported by LifeSiteNews, a new exposé by investigative journalist Sam Cooper claims there is compelling evidence that Carney and former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are strongly influenced by an “elite network” of foreign actors, including those with ties to China and the World Economic Forum.
LifeSiteNews recently reported that the Conservative Party sounded the alarm by sharing a 2016 video of Carney saying the Communist Chinese regime’s “perspective” on things is “one of its many strengths.”
LifeSiteNews reported last week that the Liberal Party under Carney has seen three MP candidates drop out of the election race over allegations of foreign interference.
The Foreign Interference Commission concluded that operatives from China may have had a hand in helping to elect a handful of MPs in both the 2019 and 2021 Canadian federal elections. It also determined that China was the primary foreign interference threat to Canada.
2025 Federal Election
Judicial recounts could hand Mark Carney’s Liberals a near-majority government
From LifeSiteNews
Three official federal recounts are underway in ridings and the Liberal Party could gain one more seat, leaving it just one short of establishing a majority government.
Three judicial recounts are underway in Canadian federal ridings from the April 28 federal election, the outcomes of which could mean Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberals possibly securing a majority government if he gets help from the New Democratic Party.
A recent recount in the Quebec riding of Terrebonne saw the Liberals win by one vote over the Bloc Québécois, the closest election call since 1963.
There is a recount underway in the Terra Nova-The Peninsulas riding in Newfoundland and Labrador that the Liberals won by just 12 votes on election night.
In another riding, in Milton East-Halton Hills South, Ontario, a recount is taking place after the Liberals won by only 29 votes.
In the riding of Windsor-Tecumseh-Lakeshore, Ontario, a recount is occurring after the Conservatives won the riding by 77 votes.
Should the Liberals manage to hold onto and flip another riding in their favor, they would be ever closer to forming a majority government.
Carney was elected Prime Minister after his party won a minority government. Carney beat out Conservative rival Pierre Poilievre, who lost his seat. The Conservatives managed to pick up over 20 new seats, however, and Poilievre has vowed to stay on as party leader for now before running in a by-election.
As reported by LifeSiteNews, the interim leader of Canada’s far-left New Democratic Party (NDP) has claimed the Liberal Party is contacting its MPs to find out whether they want to cross the floor to help secure a majority government under Carney.
The Liberals have 170 seats, just two shy of a majority. The NDP has seven seats, which is 12 short of official party status. Former NDP leader Jagmeet Singh resigned after losing his seat in the April election.
Under Carney, the Liberals are expected to continue much of what they did under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, including the party’s zealous push in favor of abortion, euthanasia, radical gender ideology, internet regulation, and so-called “climate change” policies.

Mark Carney says unlike his predecessor Justin Trudeau, the Liberals will not be making a voting pact with the left-wing New Democratic Party.
Prime Minister Mark Carney has said that his Liberal Party, which formed a minority government last week, will not be forming a voting pact with the far-left New Democratic Party.
Speaking to reporters last week, Carney replied “no” when asked by a reporter if he would be “pursuing a formal governing pact of any kind with the NDP.”
The reporter followed up asking, “Why not?” to which Carney replied, “Why?” adding, “That’s my answer.”
Last week’s election saw Liberal leader Carney beat out Conservative rival Pierre Poilievre, who also lost his seat to a Liberal rival. Poilievre’s riding was unusual in that it had 90 candidates named on the ballot, making the voting list in that riding incredibly long.
The Conservatives managed to pick up over 20 new seats, and Poilievre has vowed to stay on as party leader, for now, and will soon run in a by-election to try and regain his seat.
As it stands now, the unofficial results show the Liberals at 169 seats, which is four short of a majority. The Conservatives have 144 seats, the Bloc Québécois have 22 seats, the NDP has 7 and the Green Party has one.
In 2022, while also leading a Liberal minority government, former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau concocted a Supply And Confidence Agreement with former NDP leader Jagmeet Singh. Under the agreement, the NDP would protect the Liberals from being ousted via a vote of non-confidence in exchange for the Liberals supporting certain NDP-led legislation.
Carney’s insistence that he will not make such an agreement means it remains to be seen how his government will garner the votes necessary to pass legislation.
