During the 2021 Canadian federal election, Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) candidates saw an unexpected decrease in votes concentrated in areas some have claimed are impacted to Chinese Communist Party election interference.
The three ridings (electoral districts) that have been flagged over possible Chinese Communis Party (CCP) interference, Markham-Unionville, Steveston Richmond East, and Richmond Centre, all saw a mysterious large decrease in votes for CPC candidates compared to the prior election in 2019.
In the riding of Markham-Unionville, a suburb of Toronto, the CPC candidate lost over 7,000 votes compared to 2019, while the Liberals gained fewer than 1,500. As no other parties gained votes compared to the last election, it appears the CPC voters simply did not vote at all, the National Post reports.

The CPC also saw similar drops in votes in Richmond Centre, losing over 6,300 votes, and in Steveson Richmond East where the candidate lost over 4,400 votes.
