This week’s Hub Dialogue Roundtable discusses the appointment of “eminent Canadian” David Johnston to the position of special rapporteur looking into recent allegations of interference by the Chinese government in Canadian elections. Is he the right person for the job? Does he have a conflict of interest that should preclude him from taking it on?
We also talk about the government’s two controversial bills designed to regulate the internet and wonder if this legislation could have unintended consequences.
