CANADA'S BIGGEST SECURITY THREAT

 

TORONTO, April 18 2025 (Reuters) - Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney said that China is one of the largest threats with respect to foreign interference in Canada and is an emerging threat in the Arctic. In a debate Thursday night ahead of the April 28 election, Carney replied "China," when asked to name Canada's biggest security threat.

Asked to elaborate at a news conference in Niagara Falls on Friday, Carney said Canada has to counter Chinese foreign interference threats. He also criticized China for being a partner with Russia in the war with Ukraine and said it is a threat to broader Asia and Taiwan in particular.

Carney said China is the biggest threat "from a geopolitical sense."
"We're taking action to address," he added.
