Having foreign countries or foreign people pressure Canadian citizens in any way to vote a particular way.

The "pressure" in question is social media content - how do you propose legislating that?

Uncover accounts doing it and trace their funding...

This ain't rocket science. I am sure Canada has these laws just like any other regime around the world.

True but based on recent history in US, the effective ops we need to worry about theu use "domestic" useful idiots and domsetics companies to funnel the money. Even usefull idiots know not to take foreign money.

But yeah random tankie posting from NK office is not reachable but their clout is also limited.
