“Pointing to previous testimony and a report by former governor general David Johnston”
Well, if the impartial David Johnston didn’t find anything no one can!
>*OTTAWA — Markham deputy mayor Michael Chan is accusing Canada’s spy service of wrongfully pursuing him in its efforts to confront foreign political interference, as he responded to media reports that he is the subject of a national security warrant under scrutiny at an ongoing public inquiry.*
>*In a* [*statement*](https://archive.vn/o/NRAID/https://x.com/michaelchanyr/status/1844101168533995728) *posted on social media Wednesday, Chan said he was subject of a “wiretap” by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) that needed a government-approved warrant. Blaming “leaks” from security officials to the media, he also slammed recent media coverage as a “barrage” of falsehoods that implied he is “an ‘agent’ of the Chinese government.”*
>*Chan — a former Ontario MPP and Liberal cabinet minister — said the “wiretap” was related to allegations that he “engineered the removal” of former Liberal MP Geng Tan and pushed for former Liberal MPP Han Dong to replace him as the party candidate in the Toronto riding of Don Valley North. Dong is* [*denying allegations*](https://archive.vn/o/NRAID/https://www.thestar.com/politics/federal/judge-allows-former-liberal-mps-defamation-lawsuit-against-global-news-to-proceed-it-is-indisputable/article_3d3d14c8-2f42-11ef-9822-dbab5502d687.html) *of involvement in Chinese foreign interference.*
>*Pointing to previous testimony and a report by former governor general David Johnston, Chan denied any involvement and said “nothing” has been found against him despite what he described as years of scrutiny by CSIS and the media, in particular by the Globe and Mail.*
>*The Globe has reported that Chan is the subject of a CSIS warrant that took 54 days for a Trudeau cabinet minister to approve in 2021.*
What say ye r/canada, Michael Chan: innocent or [guilty as fuck](https://www.thebureau.news/p/bill-blair-dodges-question-on-whether)?
Okay, so if he has nothing to hide. He should testify at the inquiry and give evidence to CSIS, showing that he’s innocent. But I bet he won’t do that because while Bill Blair wanted 54 days to sign the CSIS warrant. They were busy getting rid of damming evidence.
What happened to innocent people have nothing to hide?
Malicious prosecution is only so if nothing turns up, and even then, the proof of that maliciousness will be a case for Chan to make.
Seriously I hope he really does pursue this and the real facts that aren’t being released already finally come to light
The rules exist to protect innocent people. If Chan is innocent, which is the legal assumption, he has paid a very high price for some people’s political ambitions.
Sounds like a traitor .
