Chinese Communist Party agents allegedly acted as Elections Canada poll workers in the 2021 campaign, according to documents submitted to a federal inquiry. Former Conservative MP Leona Alleslev (Aurora-Oak Ridges, Ont.) in a sworn affidavit said she was told by Chinese Canadian constituents they knew of foreign operatives working at polling stations: “Half the Chinese Canadian constituents she canvassed would tell Ms. Alleslev they were afraid to vote.”
