With ten days remaining before Quebec's October 5 provincial election, allegations of potential American interference have become a focal point in the campaign 1. Christina Frechette, leader of the Quebec Future Alliance party, has sought a meeting with Prime Minister Marc Carney and contacted the Canadian Security Intelligence Service after learning of articles published by the Defense Analysis Research Institution, a U.S. think tank, in February that called for American support of sovereigntist candidates in Canadian elections 1.
Frechette's team was informed of these articles on Saturday, contacted CSIS on Tuesday, and met with federal intelligence officials on Wednesday 1. She stated: "I want to get help from the federal government to clarify this issue" 1. The opposition leader also confirmed that American officials had contacted her government in spring regarding matters related to the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement, though she stated she had not received confirmation that the election had been subject to interference 1. In response, Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand said: "I currently have no evidence" 1. Early voting began on Sunday 1.
