    Nor should they because that tips off to the foreign states which of their actors has been compromised. By keeping it a secret all of them will be scrambling.

      Still, voters deserve to know who’s a turncoat and who isn’t.

      Yes it tips off the countries that are spying on us, but at the same time they likely already know who is at risk. Further, slamming their dicks in the door will still cause them to scramble to try and recreate the network they had going.

      The Public Safety Minister insisted that federal law prevents the government from releasing further information about the people at the centre of those allegations, and he urged party leaders to instead get their own classified briefings and said Canadians should have confidence that police can investigate and lay charges when warranted.

      As long as things are thoroughly investigated I’m good with just having the other parties have access to the information at the current time to make sure there’s no favourism.
