It is you that keeps making assumptions about what CSIS can and cannot do, even to the point that you wanted to make a poll on if CSIS failed in their role under these false assumptions.
Do you want to revise your poll request, or do you still think it's valid? |
Still valid.
CSIS made the government aware of this before the last election yet this is only coming out now. If it can be leaked now it could have been leaked earlier, I don’t think that it’s unreasonable to be concerned about the fact that if these allegations are true then there’s clearly a failure in the system that isn’t going to be resolved by whatever happens to Dong.
At no point did I ever suggest that CSIS should have detained or arrested Dong, which for some reason you’ve now brought up in 2 of your responses. It would have been up to the RCMP after having it reported to them to investigate and handle the prosecution side of things.
I also can’t understand why you were quoting Trudeau’s comments in response to his office being notified about the foreign interference investigation when my post was about Dong allegedly discussing the 2 Michaels with the Chinese government. The Global article makes it pretty clear that their whistleblowers made no allegations that CSIS reported that to the PMO.
Were you by chance making an assumption?
