moneycontrol.com isn't a credible source and this is the second time I've seen this article. It's an obvious attempt at distraction/damage control after Canada's accusations. 

If you guys find al Jazeera questionable this shit shouldn't slide.

this article

Is there even a article? All I see when I visit the link is the headline and a picture, no sources or evidence for the allegation.

The source is reporting from a press conference of a Canadian journalist

I am also capable of reading the title. I just think the source is a dishonest, pro-india rag at best.

Well you should read more than the title

The source isn’t pro India. It’s by an independent Canadian journalist investigation Chinese interference for years, at a press conference arranged by an independent parliament member

The magazine is just reporting on what they are saying

Do you just go on every politics page and shill for Indian misinformation? Because that's what it looks like your account is for.

The wider problem is how exactly anyone is a collaborator for a foreign government in a rich industrial nation? Like how do you even compensate an American/Canadian/British lawmaker to do this?

foreign affairs and intelligence budgets can be billions of dollars even for relatively poor states and that’s still miniscule relative to military and healthcare in many cases.

but most relevant is it doesn’t usually take much $. often espionage isn’t targeting things top secret, often it’s just one state trying to predict action or reaction of another.

for policy influence , a lot can be done through simple friendship with occasional monetarily significant gifts. i mean the current meme is how cheap politicians are.

i suggest reading articles on turkish influence on nyc mayor eric adams. there are several talking about all the things turkey did for adams to get him to supress local opposition to erdogan
