This is the best summary I could come up with:

A former Alberta cabinet minister is accusing Poland’s government of engaging in what he describes as foreign interference in Canada, first through phone calls asking him to cease criticizing a controversial Polish priest and later by pressing Warsaw’s consul-general in Vancouver to gather information on him.

Thomas Lukaszuk, a Polish-born Edmontonian who was an MLA for 14 years and served as Alberta’s deputy premier from 2012 to 2013, said he received two phone calls – one in 2021 and one in 2022 – from officials at Warsaw’s embassy in Canada.

He says the first call asked him to stop criticizing Father Tadeusz Rydzyk, a Roman Catholic cleric who wields influence in Poland’s governing Law and Justice Party.

The second call, he said, asked him to walk back his efforts to limit visits to Canadian churches by the Polish priest and restrict the broadcast of his Radio Maryja network in this country.

B’nai B’rith in Canada, in a statement, has condemned his Radio Maryja network for what it calls “long-time promotion of vitriolic anti-Semitic content, including conspiracy theories about imagined efforts by Jews to control Poland and exploit the Holocaust for personal gain.”

This year, Mr. Lukaszuk said, he was sent what he believes are internal Polish government e-mails detailing how Warsaw was repeatedly asking Andrzej Mankowski, its consul-general in Vancouver, to build a dossier on him.
