During sworn testimony to Canada's foreign interference inquiry last week, Prime Minister Trudeau dropped a couple of bombshells:
(1) unnamed Conservative MPs or Senators are inovlved in foreign interference for unnamed countries;
(2) Toronto psychologist and internet personality Jordan Peterson is being funded by Russian state broadcaster Russia Today.
Trudeau tells inquiry some Conservative parliamentarians are involved in foreign interference | CBC News | Elizabeth Thompson:
October 16, 2024 - "In astonishing testimony before the foreign interference inquiry Wednesday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that he has the names of Conservative parliamentarians who are involved in foreign interference. Trudeau told the inquiry that he instructed the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) to warn Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre in order to protect the party's integrity.
"'I have the names of a number of parliamentarians, former parliamentarians and/or candidates in the Conservative Party of Canada who are engaged, or at high risk of, or for whom there is clear intelligence around foreign interference,' he said. 'And I have directed CSIS and others to try and inform the Conservative Party leader to be warned and armed, to be able to make decisions that protect the integrity of that party, of its members, from activities around foreign interference.' The term 'parliamentarian' can refer to senators or members of the House of Commons.
"Later, under questioning by Nando De Luca, lawyer for the Conservative Party, Trudeau said the names of Liberal parliamentarians and individuals from other parties are also on the list of parliamentarians."

Poilievre CALLS OUT TRUDEAU's blatant lies about foreign interference | Stand on Guard | Krayden's Right with David Krayden | October 17, 2024:
What did Justin Trudeau say about Tucker Carlson and Jordan Peterson during election interference testimony? | indy100 | Liam O'Dell:
October 18, 2024 - "As Canada’s Foreign Interference Commission continues its inquiry into other countries’ involvement in its democratic processes, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gave evidence under oath on Wednesday (16 October) which saw him name right-wing commentators Jordan Peterson and Tucker Carlson as media figures funded by Russian state media.
"Set up in September 2023, the Public Inquiry into Foreign Interference in Federal Electoral Processes and Democratic Institutions has already published an initial report in which it named China as a 'main perpetrator of foreign interference' against Canada. The May report also pointed to Russia, India, Pakistan and Iran as 'possible foreign interference actors' but said of Russia that it is 'likely not currently a significant foreign interference threat' to Canada’s federal elections.... The inquiry has now turned its attention to the capacity of federal bodies to 'detect, deter and counter' foreign interference, which explains PM Trudeau being asked to give evidence.
"During his cross-examination by lawyer Guillaume Sirois ... Trudeau was shown multiple headlines from Russia Today – a broadcaster funded by the Russian state – relating to the ‘Freedom Convoy’ protests of 2022 concerning Covid vaccine requirements placed on Canadian long-haul truck drivers.
"Following this, Trudeau commented: 'We have seen that anti-vaxx messages during the convoy and pandemic were amplified by Russian propaganda, especially in the media of the right.... As I’ve said, we’ve recently seen that RT is currently funding bloggers and other personalities of the right such as Jordan Peterson - other names that are well-known are Tucker Carlson, as well - in order to amplify messages that are destabilising democracies.'”
