Semantics.Foreign powers don't influence elections. Only money does. Only money.
The source of the money is important as is what the people supplying the money want in exchange. The average person can't really afford to donate enough to get any recognition but a big company or some billionaire donating 6 or 7 figures to a campaign probably wants something in return if that person wins the election or at least that's what movie tropes lead me to believe.
When the source of the money that was donated is (allegedly) from the CCP.... what would they want and get from keeping the PM of Canada in power? Even if they want nothing more then a good trade deal, all of this has violated Canadian laws and the PM being extremely dismissive of the allegations is a very bad look.
