Also, reading that msn article I see this "parliamentarians have worked with foreign missions to mobilize voters during a political campaign"
Oh.My.Gawd! Say it isn't true!
Are you seriously trying to tell me that people, who want to be elected by voters, actually had the nerve to try and mobilize those voters?
Get a rope!
And we all know what this actually means. Here in Canada, it means that Chinese and East Indian immigrants are now in positions of power and are receiving help from their home countries to try and influence policy here. Anyone who did not expect this has had their head on the sand for a long time.
I don't mean that in a racist way either. Immigration has been good for Canada and good for me for job stability and opportunity. IMHO where we fell short was that rather than entrenching a "this is Canada and will stay Canada!" philosophy, past and current govt have a "hey, no worries, we will change policy and law to make Canada more like your home country" philosophy.
And now we are surprised when the more aggressive nations start bulldozing the very laid back Canadian govt from within? Ha! You reap what you sow.
