Rant of the Week: The 'foreign interference' scam

On May 3, 2024, after conducting months of investigation and hearing from more than 60 witnesses, Canada's Public Inquiry into Foreign Interference in Federal Electoral Processes and Democratic Institutions issued a report on alleged foreign interference in the 2019 and 2021 Canadian federal elections.

Despite incessant fear-mongering from Canadian corporate media and neocon politicians, Commissioner Marie-Josée Hogue found that the Canadian electoral system is "robust" and that acts of foreign interference "did not undermine the integrity of our electoral system... Our system remains sound."

While meandering through the central Athens neighbourhood of Exarcheia, which is a hot-bed of anti-fascist resistance in Greece, Dimitri Lascaris ranted about the sordid reality of foreign interference in the domestic politics of Canada and other Western states. Lascaris argues that no state on God's green earth interferes more in the domestic affairs of Canada and other Western countries than the United States.
