Canada's intelligence agency has raised concerns about potential foreign interference in its upcoming April 28 general election. Vanessa Lloyd, Deputy Director of Operations at the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), highlighted that China is "highly likely" to employ artificial intelligence tools and social media to influence the electoral process, particularly targeting Chinese communities in Canada. Additionally, Lloyd stated that India possesses both the intent and capability to interfere in Canadian democratic processes to assert its geopolitical influence. These allegations come amid strained relations between Canada and both nations. Russia and Pakistan were also mentioned as potential actors seeking to meddle in the elections. (PC: Reuters)
