Congratulations on another thoroughly researched article, Weng. Prior to reading this, I did not know that Sam Cooper's byline was no longer on articles about Liberal MP Han Dong (which prompted a $15-million lawsuit) and Conservative Ontario MPP Vincent Ke (which prompted a $5.5-million lawsuit). Both these articles relied on unnamed sources so they can't be independently verified by other media outlets.
Strange times we live in. It says more about our society than Sam Cooper & his supporters that "investigative journalism" is built on whatever he claims his "sources" say. Cooper has an army of supporters in the establishment media like Andrew Coyne & Terry Glavin who are part of his agenda. We're witnessing the murder of democracy & the free press.
Well said, WENGCOUVER. Humans look for threats to their wellbeing. Humans automatically think that those who look alike, think alike. Until the thought police arrive, non-middle eastern, non-asian, non-slavic and non-mediterranean looking people are relatively safe from harassment. We look safe because there's a belief that we think alike unless our mannerisms are sexualized or we wear signs of religious affiliation. It's all bullshit, but when we feel threatened, logic flies out the window. Let's never forget the illogical creation of WW2 internment camps and government-sanctions pillage and robbery. Let's grab hold of the truth that espionage is usually perpetrated by those who don't look like spies.
Unfortunately, the situation will only worsen. Keep an eye out on Canada. First, they came for "the Chinese". Eventually, it will be the the rest as civil rights & human rights get battered. The "foreign interference" narrative, with the help of the Globe and Mail and Sam Cooper, are designed to spread fear and undermine the system.
