Canada-Ukraine spy scandal smells extra fishy

I've been following the story of the Canadian Armed Forces "intelligence officer" who has been accused of espionage for passing Canadian secrets to a foreign entity. The Globe & Mail has its senior troika of truth tellers on the file, Chase, Fife, and Senior Internet Correspondent Mark Mackinnon. This team has been working overtime spinning anti-Russian propaganda for the past four years, and are spinning this particular security breach as a nothingburger. Turns out the foreign entity in question is Ukraine. As every patriotic Canadian well knows, thanks to being reminded daily by CBC and the Globe, Canada is Ukraine's absolute bestie in the global playground. Nobody, but nobody, has made more (empty) promises to Ukraine than we have. No one has vowed more often or more loudly to "stand with Ukraine" until victory. Needless to say, Ottawa is crawling with Ukraine firsters who don't consider sharing state secrets with Ukraine to be treason. That's why this episode is downplayed. Today's update seems nothing more than a gratuitous smear of journalist David Pugliese by recycling Ukrainian claims that he could be a Russian agent. For my money, Pugliese is by far the best informed and most professional journo covering Canada's military affairs in the mainstream. His forthrightness has often marked him for retaliation, especially when Big Steve's Alliance Church Mafia was running the joint. My read of the Ukraine war is that since the failed counter-offensive of 2023, things have only gone from disaster to worse disaster for Ukraine. We've been treated to the non-stop refrain; "A few more billions and a few more months and Putin will be vanquished." The EU has just found 90billion euros under the sofa cushions that will supposedly do the trick. It won't. At most, it will delay Ukraine's collapse for a few months. Then what?
