Canada has expelled Chinese diplomat Zhao Wei after an intelligence report claimed he tried to target a Canadian MP who criticised China's treatment of Uighur Muslims. The decision, which marks an escalation in Sino-Canadian relations, may prompt China to respond. Beijing has denied seeking to interfere in Canadian internal affairs. However, Canadian media outlets have published anonymous intelligence sources alleging China tried to interfere in the last two Canadian elections. Ottawa has previously accused China of efforts to meddle in the 2019 and 2021 Canadian elections, but said such efforts did not alter the outcome.
Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has expelled the Chinese envoy Zhao Wei after a leaked Canadian intelligence document revealed he was looking into penalising a Conservative lawmaker for his hard-line positions on Beijing government, which could entail sanctioning his relatives in Hong Kong. Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said that diplomats who engage in this behaviour will be expelled from the country. The move could prompt economic or diplomatic backlash from President Xi Jinping, and the Chinese embassy has already warned Canada to stop the "dangerous path" of removing the envoy.
Tucker Carlson wants to leave Fox News for a rival outlet, however, he may be unable to do so until his current contract expires in 2025. Carlson’s lawyers have contacted Fox News to attempt to set the terms of his departure, while right-wing media outlets, including Newsmax, have expressed an interest in hiring the pundit but require an agreement to be reached with Fox News first. Carlson’s departure comes after leaked footage showed him making misogynistic comments and expressing racist sentiments. In response, lawyers for Fox News have issued a cease-and-desist order to Media Matters for America, a Fox critic that published the footage. Carlson may also be bound by the restrictions of a “pay or play” contract clause, which prevents Fox News’ biggest stars from joining a rival broadcaster while they are under their existing contract.
