India has been engaged in foreign interference in Canada since the 1980s. It did not stop this week because of a few official exchanges,” Prof. Carvin said. She also criticized the message from the briefing. “It is concerning to see foreign interference being downplayed in this way by a senior Canadian official. It seems to be bordering on the politicization of intelligence,” Prof. Carvin said.  She said the Public Inquiry on Foreign Interference, which issued its final report in 2025, warned against politicization of intelligence stemming, Prof. Carvin said, “either from ignorance of the threat or blind opportunism — neither of which is good.”
