All democracies aren’t quite a democracy, by your logic, which is certainly accurate enough. All democracies must protect against foreign interference (PsyOps) in domestic politics and protests, and such protection runs directly counter to the right of non-violent dissidence; thus, by abrogating individual rights to any degree whatsoever through laws, tolerances, and actions, every country can be said not be “not quite a democracy” on a long enough timescale. However, the degree to which each democracy tolerates and shields nonviolent dissidence versus the interests of the country itself varies wildly per country, both in degree and substance. Canada is no exception, encoding its protections of that intersection into the CSIS act. If you’d like to learn more about CSIS, these links are a good first step towards understanding how Canada’s laws govern foreign interference and how and when they protect domestic rights: https://www.canada.ca/en/security-intelligence-service/corporate/espionage-and-foreign-interference.html https://www.canada.ca/en/security-intelligence-service/corpo... https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/c-23/ https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/c-23/
