"Senior RCMP intelligence director arrested, facing multiple charges"

complete garbage. Weird he told his friends a story that makes him sound like a hero. That never happens.

Would the interviews for this case be open source like the Russel Williams one?

Almost certainly not. The proceedings were challenging due to security considerations; any recordings would be highly classified.

Looooooooooong read - "a former journalist and a friend of a friend of Cameron Ortis" saying his intention was to clean things up and make things work better, but he wasn't supported/thrown under the bus?

Enemy of Canada? Was 'spy Cam' convicted of leaking top secrets actually on a mission to protect his country?

The Kafkaesque trial and conviction of ex-RCMP intelligence director Cameron Ortis was far from a success, says journalist friend.

You be the judge ....

Interesting. The 'well intentioned rogue operator' is the stuff they make movies out of. All of the people caught with their hands in the inteliigence cookie jar claim they were doing it for a higher purpose. He no doubt had lawful authority to do stuff, just not the stuff he did. As a director/department head, you just don't start doing field operations on your own.

It is clear that, even though the Crown had a successful prosecution, our justice system still faces challenges dealing with matters like this.

The man was a senior public servant. This would be like a Public servant at DND going on a one man recce patrol behind enemy lines.

Claiming he was ordered to do so by an ally without his CoC being informed.

The Globe and Mail is reporting on a FinTRAC executive who was terminated after ordering a "wellness check" for an employee after they received a Suspicious Transaction Report (STR) on the employee - potentially tipping off the employee.
