I hope that just one of you reads this story and fits it into the timeframe of whistleblowers 2018-2019 era.

To me, this story that the writer refuses or opts not to disclose what he was arrested for, reminds me of the smear campaign against Admiral Norman. (Thankfully, a failed operation by Putz&Co.)

The ground is being seeded and softened beforehand to make it appear this fellow is a criminal while he might have been our saviour in his disclosures, instead. How can one tell for sure in the-mealy-mouthed write up? No spelled out charges against him? Sounds so Soviet, doesn’t it?

When I was reading the story linked below, I noticed that this gent’s crime was not mentioned once. He held the keys to intelligence gathering and dissemination, was lauded as an example of professionalism and highly regarded by all.

Now he is arrested and he is anxious to tell his story in court about what he was arrested for. The press release dances around that issue like water in a hot frypan

Just a guess. Was he one of the whistleblowers that alerted Canadians to wrong-doing by our Putz government? Remember that the Nibs swore that no stone was to be unturned, searching for the one who let the cats out of the bag

I too, am very interested in his story when he reveals all he knows and what he did.

Uh, the 2nd paragraph lists the crimes…

Cameron Ortis is accused of violating the Security of Information Act by revealing secrets to an unnamed recipient, in addition to breach of trust and a computer-related offence. His trial is set to begin in Ottawa on Oct. 2 at the Superior Court of Justice.

Is the contention here that the Security of Information Act isn’t important for some reason or…..??

The last 8 years have seen a once-prosperous Canada fall to DEAD LAST in OECD rankings.

Time to bring home a Common Sense government that will lift Canada out of DEAD LAST and back to being a competitive, rewarding place to work and do business.

"The heart of our challenge lies with the federal government’s lack of a serious approach to establishing the conditions necessary to attract talent and capital, reward entrepreneurs, and put Canada on the path of being one of the most competitive economies on the planet. By all indications, we are headed in the wrong direction...

"Canada’s economic growth is now projected to be dead last among the 38 most advanced economies over the next decade, reports the OECD. Our inability to approve major projects on a timely basis and with rules that provide certainty of process, is a major reason why," says a new ICBA op-ed by BC's Chris Gardner & Alberta's Mike Martens.

Numerous laws were mentioned in the article but none were definitely pinned on him in the article. A mystery. I investigated a little deeper last night, following the links.

It ‘seems’ Mr Ortis may have been the whistleblower that told us about Russian involvement with our govt or electing it. (China is not alone in promoting a corrupt govt in Canada).

Judging from the comments that follow the stories I looked it, it seems others too are connecting the dots to the timeline and Ortis’s willingness to speak out. He apparently has nothing to hide or be ashamed of.

Ortis is up to the teeth in classified and sensitive information as he worked at the highest levels of security in Canada and liaised with our allies. Yet, this “dangerous” man is out on the streets out on bail. Interesting. If he was such a major threat wouldn’t he be sequestered until trial day, Oct 2?

We’ve had a govt and a useless PM that has chosen to deliberately ignore reports from CSIS as it benefitted the Nibs to do nothing. These egregious behaviours are coming home to roost late in the day.

Carson Jerema: Maybe now the Trudeau Liberals will stop ignoring national security

Surely now, even the Trudeau Liberals will start to take national security seriously. If indeed the Indian government was behind the killing of a Canadian citizen, it proves yet again that the idea that Canada is much too enlightened to concern itself with something as unsophisticated as security is nothing but a fantasy.

Universal health care, a whole pile of “humility and audacity” and all the “honest broker” nonsense the Liberals can muster won’t stop foreign adversaries from harassing, kidnapping or murdering Canadians.

The Liberals have spent their time in office dismissing worries over national defence and foreign interference, ignoring intelligence advice and branding anyone who questions Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s approach as traitorous and un-Canadian. Presuming India is responsible, if the killing of Sikh separatist (and alleged terrorist) Hardeep Singh Nijjar within Canadian borders is enough to force Trudeau to take the security of the country he governs seriously, it is a change of mindset that is to be welcomed.

Unfortunately, the obvious partisan interest the Liberals have in aggressively opposing India — that Sikh Canadians are an important voting bloc — and Trudeau’s own history of subordinating foreign policy to domestic partisan concerns, has only bred skepticism.
But the fact the government cannot be trusted on issues such as this does not mean the allegations are untrue. A growing number of security leaks suggests there could be more to the claims against India than simply the prime minister’s own naked self-interest. The downside is that the details are still far too thin to convince anyone who wasn’t already convinced.

We know now that the intelligence, according to reports by CBC and Associated Press, “includes communications involving Indian officials themselves, including Indian diplomats present in Canada.” Some of this intelligence came from a Five Eyes ally, which the New York Times reported Saturday was the United States, though no specifics of what the intelligence entails has been made public.

While Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government has called the accusation “absurd,” and has denied any evidence was shared with it, a Canadian official told Bloomberg that “communications and phone numbers” of those believed to be connected to the killing was, in fact, shared with India.

What becomes immediately obvious about these leaks is that none of them amount to definitive evidence, or even just evidence, of the Indian government’s involvement in Nijjar’s killing. Without any concrete facts, “Trudeau’s central proposition” that “agents” of the Indian government are linked to the killing, “remains unverifiable and unfalsifiable,” as columnist Terry Glavin put it on Sunday.

What a sad, pathetic, tearful and morose Canada has become since 2015

Canada's largest financial failure and transfer of wealth ever in recorded history. By one select group. The Liberalist party of canada.
Buy the trans mountain pipeline for $4.5 billion. Be constantly warned that it will be an absolute failure. Be told continually by all actual professionals on the subject that it is a huge mistake to purchase it. Still go ahead with it. Now the cost over runs alone will make it always a negative cost to canadians. But, it does serve one group extremely well. The pipeline will be "sold off" in sections to management and control to certain select native groups. They obviousily have no cash for this purchase so the liberal government will finance, carry all debt. Be responsible for all debt. Never receive any actual money back from giving away the control and ownership of these sections. Its the largest single settlement ever in this country.

When Kinder Morgan originally applied to almost triple the capacity of Trans Mountain, the company projected it would cost $5.4 billion and be “operational in late 2017.” Over the years the price tag has steadily increased, while the projected in-service date of the pipeline has continued to slip:

• By 2016, Trans Mountain was projecting a price tag of $6.8 billion and an in-service date of December 2019;
• By 2018, the total construction cost had jumped to $9.3 billion and the in-service date had moved to December 2021;
• By 2020, the price had risen to $12.6 billion and the in-service date had moved to December 2022;
• By 2022, Trans Mountain increased the price tag to $21.4 billion and said it expected “mechanical completion” in September 2023;
• This year, it pegged the cost at $30.9 billion and an in-service date of March 31, 2024; and
• In a subsequent regulatory filing, Trans Mountain said in a “worst-case scenario,” the completion date for a tunnel it’s digging in B.C. won’t be until “December 2024” and each month of delay past the latest in-service date “results in roughly $200 million in lost revenues and roughly $190 million in carrying charges.”

Where are those fanbois now that crowed how wonderful it was that the Putz bought the pipeline?

The financial news for Canada just goes from bad to worse.

Soon, we eats the bugs and own nada.

David Dodge was like the grown-up handing out black coffee and aspirins the morning after a night of teenage bacchanalian excess. The former Bank of Canada governor was testifying before the House of Commons finance committee on Monday and his message was unequivocal: The party’s over.

The Liberal government has rarely encountered a problem it didn’t believe could not be solved by throwing borrowed money at it.

Snip

(New figures from Statistics Canada this week show that government expenses were up 7.4 per cent in the second quarter compared to the previous year, driven by employee compensation costs and interest expenses that rose 20.4 per cent, or $4 billion.)
“Governments cannot borrow their way out of these difficult choices,” he said.

Anemic economic growth rates are compounding the problem of rising interest rates. When the economic growth rate is less than the interest rate as it is now, the burden of government debt increases, rather than erodes, he said.

He made special mention of Canada’s low capital investment and productivity, “a long-standing problem” that has gotten worse since 2015, with the fall-off in investment by the oil and gas industry, which is in part a result of regulatory uncertainty.

Snip


GDP in the second quarter of this year was 0.2 per cent lower than the previous year and another decline is expected in the third quarter, technically pushing Canada into recession.
The government has tried to apply some lipstick on this omnivorous, hoofed mammal. Freeland claimed this week that 980,000 more Canadians are in the job market than before the pandemic, which is just as well, given the inundation of new immigrants and students in the last four years.
She also said that, according to the OECD, Canada will see the strongest economic growth in the G7 this year and next.
Should the country fulfill that forecast, it would be eligible for a dubious achievement award, given most of our peers are doing even worse.

The inevitable echo of a period of sustained interest-rate increases is rising unemployment and slowing retail sales. The signs of slowing labour demand are apparent, with job vacancies down and unemployment up to 5.5 per cent in August from 4.9 per cent in July 2022. As RBC Economics noted, the 0.5-percentage-point increase over the last four months is the largest outside the pandemic since the 2008–09 recession.
Ten-year government bond yields surged over 3.91 per cent in September, the highest level in 15 years, reflecting, in Dodge’s words, a lack of confidence that the government has the situation under control.

Against all the evidence, the Liberals still seem to think they are doing a bang-up job and we will all move forward into broad, sunlit uplands if we trust in their continued mediation.
“We have the compass. We know how to get to a safe harbour,” as Freeland once put it.
But the intervention that is required is precisely the one for which this government has shown no inclination in eight years — namely, cutting spending on consumption to produce resources to raise Canada’s productivity

So the cost has sextupled under Justin Trudeau's control and the timeline has stretched another 7+ years.

And now, he wants to give it away to people that haven't paid any taxes towards its construction.

Help me square this circle.
