China in Canada for good strategic reasons

 Canada gets a mention in French think tank report:

Chinese regime influence operations in Canada are broad and pervasive. ..
Canada is also a target because of “its all-around proximity with its chief rival the United States; its membership in key alliances such as NATO and the Five Eyes; its place in the Arctic; its image as an exemplary liberal democracy, which makes it a symbolic target; and the fact that it’s a middle power, which minimizes potential repercussions,” says the report.

At the link are summaries of interventions and intimidations I've been reading about, but aggregated here.

A bonus for BC readers:

“There are several municipal politicians in British Columbia, and in at least two provinces there are ministers of the Crown who we think are under at least the general influence of a foreign government,” said Fadden.
