India and Pakistan tried to meddle in Canada elections, spy agency says

CSIS intelligence report suggests growing number of countries targeting country’s large diaspora populations

Canada’s spy agency has declared that the governments of India and Pakistan probably attempted to meddle in its elections.

As a closely watched public inquiry investigates the scope of foreign interference, on Thursday night the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) released a report suggesting a growing number of countries see Canada – and particularly its large diaspora populations – as a target for subterfuge.
