 Due to differing definitions of "emergency" and " threat" between RCMP , CSIS, etc. Emergencies Act was controversially enacted. 

Now, due to election interference definitions being " vague" we have...

"An independent review into the system that protect Canada’s elections found it worked as designed and there was not widespread interference in the 2021 election, but also found the definitions in the system are vague and the threat is growing.

During elections, intelligence agencies and the RCMP report regularly to a panel of senior bureaucrats about attempts to influence the election. Those bureaucrats make the final decision on whether or not to alert the public to that interference.

Morris Rosenberg, a former deputy minister under both Liberal and Conservative governments, was tasked with doing an independent review of the bureaucrats’ work and his review was released late Tuesday afternoon.

Even before the report was released Conservatives dismissed it, because Rosenberg also served as the CEO of the Pierre Trudeau Foundation during which time the foundation took a controversial donation from a Chinese-Canadian businessman.


Rosenberg said while the system worked as designed and there doesn’t appear to have been widespread foreign interference in the election, he said the definitions the system uses are “vague,” and leave the decision up to the judgement of civil servants."
