Eh, It's the original source. I tried Googling around and couldn't find a better source.

Probably why I haven't heard about it. Rebel News reporting is a no-go zone for the Canadian media.

The Globe and Mail reporting on it was far more mild and less revealing, considering China has two Canadians locked up for years while they invited PLA to train with our troops. Nor did include the original source material: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-global-affa...

Makes you wonder if we'd ever have found out about this otherwise.




The original source is actually kind of interesting. It's too bad this sort of thing isn't covered more regularly in the mainstream news.

That said, it's rather mis-characterized by Rebel News, I was only able to read the title of the Globe and Mail piece, but it seemed like a more accurate representation of the source document.


One thing which hit me when reading it, was the cache of email addresses, all to receive this 'Canadian Eyes Only' and 'Secret'.

For anyone, it creates a chain of people who are ... required? Important enough? Need to know? Said info...

There's like a few security implications here, such as, whom to apply pressure to. Some GoC department employees, on even LinkedIn for example, are restricted from indicating who precisely they work for.

For this very reason.

Even non-compliance-with-pressure tactics are a concern, for it helps to know whom precisely to attempt hacks against.

Some might say "Meh, they probably already know this and that", but things like this are precisely how they already know this and that.
