## Resource

Conservatives are demanding a halt to Canada’s newly restarted defense talks with China, slamming the move as secretive and reckless—especially since Parliament was left in the dark until Chinese state media broke the news. They argue that engaging militarily with a country accused of election interference, espionage, and meddling in Canadian affairs undermines national security and sovereignty. With the Prime Minister himself recently labeling China the biggest threat, the Conservatives see this shift as dangerously out of step—and they’re calling for full transparency before any further cooperation proceeds.
