Recent comments from Richard Fadden, the head of Canada's top spy agency, have caused uproar in Canada.

Back in June, the Director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, or CSIS (SEE-sis), said in an interview with CBC that foreign governments were trying to influence Canadian officials.

Fadden also told CBC that foreign governments are trying to gain influence with future politicians—by targeting them while they're still in university. He says the Chinese regime is the most aggressive—funding university clubs managed by the embassy and consulates.

But according to one Canadian MP, Fadden's remarks have only "scratched the surface."

Rob Anders, MP for Calgary West, told The Epoch Times that Chinese authorities have used lucrative business deals, lavish gifts, and even young seductive women to influence Canadian politicians. He says he knows of specific cases, but would not give out names.

Anders also says some politicians who return from trips funded by Chinese authorities change their minds about things like human rights abuses committed by the regime.

Despite the explosive reaction to these remarks, one former senior intelligence official says he's not surprised by the revelations.
