🇨🇦 The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), for the first time, is warning individual MPs and senators from all major parties about #influence operations being carried out by China and other adversarial states. « This is different from « normal #diplomatic conduct » in that it's #clandestine or #deceptive and includes efforts such as exploitative relationships, gifts, free travel, blackmail, bribes, #disinformation, #cyber attacks and #espionage. » « We're dealing with increased hostile state activity targeting our democratic system » #canada #threats
