The Hand in the Room

When Canada’s parliamentary security report identified the primary perpetrators of transnational repression against Canadians, three of the six names were replaced with asterisks—redacted at the Prime Minister’s direction. On Nancy Perin’s Standing for Humanity platform, a fully sourced investigation asks what is behind those asterisks: covert polling commissioned by a foreign consulate and discussed in a Liberal Party WhatsApp group, surveillance of Canadian activists by a foreign ministry, and Israeli spyware already inside Canadian policing. The hand was in the room. The question is whether we are willing to see it.
