Miranda, thanks. There are several leading Canadian journalists who subscribe to the substack so maybe there will some reply or response. I would look forward to that

Thanks, Mark. Yes my editor is hopeless but I can't fire him. Date corrections made. I trust the context would have helped people understand that the media reports referred to here all took place between 2003 and 2004.

Thanks for making these articles available. I'm hanging on every word...

How does anybody know whether this leaker is a Kim Philby type of figure or not? Doesn't anybody read John le Carre? It's disturbing how that part of it isn't questioned more.

Would the government know who is leaking the documents, or have a good idea of it? On The House last week, a former CSIS person said he didn't think they were coming from CSIS, and his rationale made sense.

I'd love to see journalists answer your questions, but who will pose them?

All rhetorical questions, by the way!

Given the propensity of Fife and Chase to platform and amplify the views of American figures with anti-Chinese views, I wonder if their source(s) for this story came from within CSIS or elsewhere in the Five Eyes. Certainly, their named source in the stories about Canadian academics working with suspect Chinese scientists was American, and arrived apparently unbidden. In both cases, the question is: Who benefits?

Once again the author tries to focus on leakers instead of Trudeau's failures on this matter. What are they hiding?

Very good perspective, but you should reprimand your editor for not catching typos re dates!
