🇨🇦 A NATO intern accused of spying for China is peak Trudeau-era Canada

A Canadian inside NATO, accused of helping Beijing. That is not just embarrassing, it is a regime-level competence failure. After years of Chinese interference warnings, Ottawa still managed to let the fox wander into the security henhouse. The sanitized explainer reported what the political class never wants to admit: Canada’s institutions are soft, penetrable, and run by people more obsessed with optics, diversity checklists, and international virtue theatre than basic national security.

This is what post-national governance looks like in practice. Trudeau spent years shrugging at Beijing’s influence operations, MPs were targeted, elections were meddled with, and the response was the usual Ottawa fog machine. Now we get the predictable sequel: a NATO-linked embarrassment that makes Canada look like the weak link in the alliance. Sovereignty is not a branding exercise for panel discussions in Brussels. It requires borders, screening, loyalty, and a state that understands Canada is a country, not a globalist internship program.
