Ottawa denies it pressed forum over Tsai award
Staff writer, with CNA
The Canadian government on Monday said there is no truth to a news report that it threatened to withhold funding from a US-based non-profit organization, which reportedly proposed giving an award to President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文).
The Halifax International Security Forum, which holds its signature forum in Halifax, Nova Scotia, each year, is planning to present its “2020 John McCain Prize for Leadership in Public Service” to Tsai, Politico reported on Monday.
The Canadian government threatened to withdraw its financial support of the organization if it went through with the plan to give the award to Tsai, Politico reported, adding that Ottawa feared it would provoke China.
