CANADA BOOTS CHINA’S SPY CAMS – HIKVISION AXED

In a sweeping move to protect Canada’s national security, Industry Minister Mélanie Joly announced the Trudeau government’s decision to shut down the operations of Chinese surveillance giant Hikvision Canada Inc.—a company long accused of enabling the Chinese Communist Party’s mass surveillance and human rights abuses. The bold order follows mounting U.S. concerns over Hikvision’s ties to China’s brutal suppression of Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang and its integration into Beijing’s expansive surveillance apparatus. As Canada finally confronts the creeping influence of Chinese state-linked corporations within its borders, critics argue the move is long overdue. Hikvision, predictably, lashed out at the decision, decrying it as unfair and unjustified. While the company protests, national security takes precedence—prompting serious questions about why it was allowed to operate this long in the first place.
