It's become clear that both media sources are united in fighting back against the corruption within our government.

Both Global News and Globe and Mail have now reported on the O'Toole being a target of China, both on a weekend while parliament is in recess, with newfound information that seemingly Johnston failed to find out about, or stumbled upon it and failed to divulge. We know that there was one unnamed MP that was also targeted based on Johnston's report, but was Johnston hiding that O'Toole was that target?
O'Toole certainly did not know he was targeted and only found out on Friday.
So this means that both Global News and Globe and Mail have access to the same source (why may be completely different from all prior leaks as well).
Clearly this is not over, it will not be over just because a few apologists here want to deflect. For those who have been shameless liberal apologists here, how do you defend Johnston's credibility and competence if he failed to report that O'Toole was being targeted as well? This further cements the need for a full public inquiry. |
Isn't this news from O'Toole's camp? Why are you talking like it's another CSIS leak? O'Toole was briefed on Friday and then his camp told the media later that day.
And I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that the report said only one other MP was targeted. From the report:

There are indications that PRC officials contemplated action directed at both Chinese-Canadian MPs and their family members in China, and sought to build profiles on others. This includes Mr. Chong in both cases. There is no intelligence indicating that the PRC took steps to threaten his family. There is intelligence indicating they were looking for information.

Unless you're thinking the "both" refers to only 2 MPs? It doesn't; it refers to MPs as well as their families.
And obviously CSIS is going to brief the individuals directly, rather than Johnston rattling off a list of MPs in a report, so I don't find it odd that O'Toole wasn't mentioned by name. Chong's involvement was already revealed by the media, so that's why he was the only one mentioned by name. The real issue is that CSIS (and potentially the current government) didn't inform him 2 years ago, but then that also depends on what "targeted" or "build profiles" mean.
