Not debating. Just trying to understand where you're coming from.

I'm not questioning the overall result of the election as legitimate and democracy is ultimately what determines legitimacy in my eyes. So if in light of the evidence before it the Canadian people still keep electing the LPC then it's still the 'legitimate' government in a sense it was elected. But yes, this Canadian government has been compromised on many issues related to China due to many of the influences it's been under.
