Didn't see a thread on this. Very interesting story with the RCMP taking a Canadian Intelligence Officer in for allegedly passing secrets to the Russians.

What may be the biggest spy scandal in Canada in more than half a century exploded Monday after SLt. Delisle was charged with passing secrets to a “foreign entity” under Canada’s Information Security Act. It’s the first charge of its kind ever laid and one where the maximum penalty is the toughest possible under this country’s justice system: life in prison.

A senior defence official told CBC News that Delisle worked for a unit called HMCS Trinity, an intelligence facility at the naval dockyard in Halifax. It tracks vessels entering and exiting Canadian waters via satellites, drones and underwater devices. The centre is a multinational base with access to secret data from NATO countries.

The case against the Bedford, N.S., man stretches back to July 2007 and includes allegations he passed on classified information while posted in Ottawa and Kingston as well as Halifax. The most recent activity, according to court documents, occurred last Friday when Mounties and military police arrested him.
