Han Dong

The judge made the comments as he rejected an application from Corus Entertainment to throw out Dong's lawsuit against the news agency, saying it is in the public interest to hear the case.

If one thing from the public inquiry into foreign interference is clear, it’s that China attempted to meddle in the 2019 and 2021 elections.

In a classified interview with the commission of inquiry in February, Trudeau said leaks suggesting otherwise were extremely damaging to Canadians' confidence in the democratic process. 

The director of the Liberal election campaign in 2019 says he recommended Justin Trudeau take no action on alleged nomination irregularities in a Toronto riding.

Former Liberal Han Dong met with international students from China and encouraged them to register as Liberal members during his nomination race in 2019 — but the MP didn't mention that to an ongoing federal inquiry into foreign meddling until he took the stand on Tuesday.

A federal inquiry into foreign interference is set to hear from the Independent MP at the centre of allegations about foreign meddling in Canadian elections.

Global News and its parent company Corus Entertainment say in response to a lawsuit filed by Han Dong that their reporting about the Toronto MP was based on a detailed investigation involving multiple sources.

The lack of a formal inquiry into foreign interference in Canadian politics would make critics of China in Canada feel more concerned about their personal safety, human rights groups say.

Independent MP Han Dong could rejoin the Liberal caucus if he wants to, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Wednesday, May 24, 2023.

Directors from past Liberal and Conservative campaigns told a House of Commons committee on Tuesday, April 25, 2023, that concerns raised by national security officials would not necessarily be reason enough for them to drop a candidate from their rosters.

Toronto MP Han Dong is suing Global News and its parent company, Corus Entertainment, over stories he says portrayed him as a "traitor" and a knowing participant in Chinese interference in Canada.

Han Dong may well be guilty of everything that's been said and written about him recently. But what if he isn't? That's a question our experience with the U.S. invasion of Iraq and the rendition and torture of Maher Arar should have us asking.

Han Dong, the member of Parliament at the centre of allegations of Chinese meddling in Canadian affairs, has resigned from the Liberal caucus and will sit as an Independent.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Liberal MP Han Dong is loyal to Canada, defending him on Monday, February 27, 2023, in response to a media report that said he was helped by the Chinese consulate while running to be the party's candidate in a Toronto-area riding in 2019.

Politicians including a Liberal MP and a senator say they fear allegations of Chinese interference in the 2019 federal election will lead to anti-Asian racism.
