By now it should be clear that a made up job to push the issues down the road is not the solution. While you can blame leakers, political opposition and so on, the real issues remain. Compromised politicians, a compromised so called democracy by outside actors, so far not addressed. All checks and balances have failed top to bottom in my opinion. I personally believe the 2015 election was compromised, notwithstanding the next two. These are not new issues. Sam Coopers book “Wilful Blindness”, tracks CCP involvement beginning in 1986. This began in BC and has since moved across Canada. It’s called “money laundering”. That money reaches every institution and levels of government. The only surprise in my opinion, is how long it took to reach media and how naive the majority are. The fact this is only coming to light now is mind bending. As for Johnston, a person of real integrity would have passed over this job given his close connections. End of.
He will use language like "The government should undertake a comprehensive internal review...yada yada yada". And the citizens of Canada will be left in the dark forever.
I thought the whole point about spy stuff was that you needed to keep what you know, secret, or the bad guys would also know what you didn't know - putting you at a distinct disadvantage. How does a public inquiry accomplish national security. I feel sorry for Mr. Johnston, mostly because he will be used as cannon fodder by the very people he lent his credibility to, when he serve as our GG. He deserves better, so do Canadians.
