Maybe you should read “Wilful Blindness”, Sam Cooper. Years of research, documentation. See Amazon books. I guess you chose to overlook the fact that Johnston only addressed 3 issues not the 10 reported. He did not touch the 11 candidates regarding election interference reported. Completely overlooked is the Trudeau Foundation and the CCP funding they accepted resulting in the dissolution of the board. Most would find it odd that 80% of political donations to Trudeau’s riding were from BC, all with Chinese names. Notwithstanding CCP police departments in Richmond, Toronto, Montreal, still operating. Notwithstanding CCP military conducting military exercises on Canadian soil, courtesy of Trudeau until finally stopped by senior military.
These are only a few issues that come to mind. Maybe look at the BC Cullen Commission, money laundering, whereby billions are laundered into Canada yearly, primarily from China. Where do you think that ends up? This has been going on since 1986 beginning in BC. As for Cooper, he is the best and primary source of investigation into these matters. No, he is not silent. You just have not heard him. Time to pay closer attention.
The only question in my mind is how this has managed to stay out of the limelight for so many years, since I have known about it for years. I guess that’s why leaking was the only solution. The “Ottawa Bubble” definitely lives up to its name. Time it was “popped” for good.
I recoil when I read "us" or "we all" because it unfortunately often reveals a bit more of the writer than the content.
Who exactly is "us". It certainly wasn't me. I also doubt that Johnston from the outset had any other motivation than to shelter the Laurentian elite poster boy and his entourage from further scrutiny. Johnston wasn't surprised.
Perhaps the only person surprised was you. I'm disappointed.
Even if a public inquiry was hobbled by exaggerated definitions of "sensitive information", it would at least make Canadians aware of how much more information is readily available to the CCP than to "us".
Johnston writes that, "It needs to be someone’s job (or multiple identified peoples’ job) to decide what goes to the NSIA and what gets briefed to the political levels (i.e., to Ministers and their offices)." Perhaps he is proposing something akin to the US National Intelligence Council (NIC)?

Johnson’s plan sounds sensible and has the potential to start a process to improve our outdated system.

There could easily be a public inquiry. If a topic comes that needs to be protected, proceedings can be moved in camera.
Nonsense.
