联邦政府已撤回对一场欧洲虚假信息会议的支持，该会议包含一些将美国政府视为外国干涉风险的讨论小组。
The federal government has withdrawn sponsorship of a European disinformation conference that includes panels discussing the U.S. government as a foreign interference risk.
加拿大全球事务部（GAC）发言人萨曼莎·拉弗勒表示，政府对该活动部分讨论小组的表述方式存在异议。该活动由总部位于布鲁塞尔的非营利组织欧盟虚假信息实验室（EU DisinfoLab）主办。
Samantha Lafleur, a spokesperson for Global Affairs Canada (GAC), said the government took issue with the framing of some panels at the event organized by EU DisinfoLab, a non-profit based in Brussels.
此次会议设有多个讨论小组，探讨美国作为“外国信息操纵与干涉（FIMI）”来源的问题。所谓“外国信息操纵与干涉”，指外国政府或其代理行为者操纵信息，以混淆、分化或误导公众，并削弱公众对各类机构的信任。
The conference features panels about the U.S. as a source of "foreign information manipulation and interference (FIMI)," a phenomenon where foreign governments or actors on their behalf manipulate information to confuse, divide or mislead the public and erode confidence in institutions.
加拿大全球事务部——即渥太华的外交机构——最初与立陶宛外交部和欧洲对外行动服务局一同被列为这项年度会议的支持方。该会议主要由研究人员和民间社会组织参加。
GAC — Ottawa's diplomatic arm — Lithuania's Foreign Ministry and the European External Action Service were initially listed as supporters of the annual conference largely attended by researchers and civil society organizations.
据向加拿大广播公司（CBC News）分享的照片显示，当会议于周三在立陶宛维尔纽斯召开时，这些机构的名字已被遮盖在会场周围的标牌上。截至发稿时，法国政府仍为此次会议的支持方。
As the gathering got underway in Vilnius, Lithuania, on Wednesday, their names were covered up on signs spotted around the conference, according to photos shared with CBC News. As of writing, the French government remains a sponsor.
加拿大全球事务部在向CBC News发表的声明中，并未否认其对将美国描述为外国干涉威胁的表述存在担忧。
In a statement to CBC News, GAC did not deny that it had concerns with describing the U.S. as a foreign interference threat.
拉弗勒写道：“在多个讨论小组的表述方式发生调整之后，加拿大全球事务部决定修改其参与欧盟虚假信息实验室2026年会议相关环节的安排。”
"Following changes to the framing of several panel discussions, GAC decided to revise its participation in those sessions at the EU DisinfoLab 2026 conference," wrote Lafleur.
但她并未回应有关加拿大全球事务部具体反对哪些调整，或美国是否提出过相关担忧的问题。
She did not respond to questions about particular changes GAC took issue with or whether the U.S. raised concerns.
根据互联网档案馆的“时光机”（Wayback Machine），周三讨论如何反击美国作为外国干涉威胁的会议介绍内容，自9月9日至今似乎并未改变。
According to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, the description of Wednesday's panel discussing how to push back on the U.S. as a foreign interference threat appears to have been unchanged since Sept. 9.
加拿大全球事务部不再主持北极相关讨论小组。美国“阳光项目”（American Sunlight Project）的演讲者本·舒尔茨表示，加拿大全球事务部的一名官员也已退出原定于周四举行的关于北极地区虚假信息问题的会议主持工作。
GAC no longer chairing Arctic panel A GAC official also pulled out of chairing a session on disinformation in the Arctic scheduled for Thursday, said presenter Ben Shultz with the American Sunlight Project.
该小组提议讨论格陵兰岛，以及“越来越多的证据表明，美国在特定的北极背景下，曾以FIMI行为体的身份行事”。舒尔茨分享了几个月前制定的小组初步计划，其中包含将美国视为外国干涉行为体的讨论。
The panel proposes to talk about Greenland and "growing evidence that the United States has, in specific Arctic contexts, operated as a FIMI actor." Shultz shared the initial plan for the panel from months ago, which includes talking about the U.S. as a foreign interference actor.
他将三个政府的退出称为“震惊”，并质疑这些政府是否受到了压力。
He called three governments withdrawing a "shock" and questioned whether they were pressured.
“幸运的是，所有演讲者仍然到场了，这非常棒，我认为也体现了研究界的决心。但这确实让现场气氛有些受挫，”他在一次采访中说。
"Thankfully every speaker has still shown up, which is awesome, and I think a testament to the resolve of the research community. But it's definitely put a bit of a damper on the atmosphere," he said in an interview.
过去在加拿大阿尔伯塔省举行的分裂主义会议在美国并不属于外国影响登记范围：监督机构称自由党政府将深度伪造和外国干涉作为重大选举法律改革的重点。欧盟外交与安全政策高级代表机构（欧盟外交服务部门）在一份声明中表示，鉴于会议议程的内容，他们已要求从相关材料中移除其徽标。
Past Alberta separatist meetings in U.S. don't fall under foreign influence registry: watchdog Liberal government targets deepfakes, foreign interference in major election law reforms The European External Action Service, the EU's diplomatic service, said in a statement it asked to have its logo removed from the material associated with the conference "in view of the content of the programme."
当被问及此事是否与美国的“外国干涉”小组有关时，欧盟发言人重申，移除欧盟外交与安全政策高级代表机构徽标的原因是“主办方选择以不符合欧盟官方立场的方式安排部分讨论”。立陶宛外交部和会议主办方均未回应置评请求。
Asked if it was related to the U.S. foreign interference panel, an EU spokesperson repeated that the EEAS logo was removed because "organizers chose to frame some of the discussions in a way which does not align with the official positions held by the EU." Neither Lithuania's Foreign Ministry nor the conference organizers responded to a request for comment.
加拿大的退出发生在《环球邮报》报道同一周，该报称一些参与阿尔伯塔省独立运动的人士曾与美国的实体在加拿大和美国边境两侧举行过会面。
Canada's withdrawal comes the same week the Globe and Mail reported that some people involved in campaigning for Alberta independence had met on both sides of the border with U.S. entities.
加拿大广播公司新闻此前报道，去年部分此类会面是在美国国务院位于华盛顿特区的办公室内举行的。
CBC News previously reported that some of those meetings took place in U.S. State Department offices in Washington, D.C., last year.
加拿大全球事务部的这一举动也发生在该国与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普政府陷入一场经常充满敌意和人身攻击的贸易争端之际。
GAC's move also comes as the country is embroiled in an often bitter and personal trade dispute with U.S. President Donald Trump's administration.
拉弗勒表示，加拿大“仍然坚定地致力于应对虚假信息和错误信息的挑战”，并称加拿大全球事务部官员“期待与各方合作伙伴及利益相关者共同努力，打击虚假信息。”
Lafleur said Canada "remains firmly committed to addressing the challenge of disinformation and misinformation" and that Global Affairs Canada officials "look forward to engaging with partners and stakeholders on efforts to counter disinformation."
