Brad Johnson, retired CIA Officer and President of Americans for Intelligence reform, discusses the implications of the RCMP intelligence officer, Cameron Ortis, being outed as a long-time spy for China.
Clearly problematic for Canada, it unravels into the degree of Chinese infiltration in our northern neighbor. Also discussed is the potential implications of a Chinese firm installing 5G there.

Brad Johnson this is the 20th of April
0:00:03.570,0:00:10.920
20 20 lakh downs are still everywhere in
0:00:08.519,0:00:12.000
particular in Canada there I don’t think
0:00:10.920,0:00:13.410
there’s been any announcements by
0:00:12.000,0:00:14.790
anybody about easing up although the
0:00:13.410,0:00:20.640
states is easy an up here and there now
0:00:14.790,0:00:22.410
and a story from 2019 September of 2019
0:00:20.640,0:00:24.390
really caught my eye again today is I
0:00:22.410,0:00:27.390
kind of happened to notice an open tab
0:00:24.390,0:00:30.779
and that is about a guy who was a
0:00:27.390,0:00:32.759
civilian RCMP member but way high up in
0:00:30.779,0:00:35.250
the food chain he was a high he was a
0:00:32.759,0:00:37.230
technical guy so he had access to pretty
0:00:35.250,0:00:39.899
much all the top-secret classified stuff
0:00:37.230,0:00:42.480
that the RCMP might have for Americans
0:00:39.899,0:00:44.430
the RCMP in this case would be similar
0:00:42.480,0:00:46.110
to the aspects of the FBI that do
0:00:44.430,0:00:47.969
foreign espionage I guess you could say
0:00:46.110,0:00:52.140
they’re a counter-earth counter
0:00:47.969,0:00:55.590
espionage so this guy was caught for
0:00:52.140,0:00:58.440
high-level we don’t have treason I don’t
0:00:55.590,0:00:59.940
think but for giving information of
0:00:58.440,0:01:03.449
sensitive nature to foreign governments
0:00:59.940,0:01:06.720
they didn’t say which in typical
0:01:03.449,0:01:10.860
Canadian media fashion but the guy the
0:01:06.720,0:01:12.000
guy did in fact speak Mandarin and given
0:01:10.860,0:01:13.619
everything that’s going on right now
0:01:12.000,0:01:15.750
with Chinese penetration and
0:01:13.619,0:01:17.759
infiltration to so many Western
0:01:15.750,0:01:19.680
governments I thought it might be really
0:01:17.759,0:01:23.549
good to revisit the implications of this
0:01:19.680,0:01:27.000
particular arrest of this guy with Brad
0:01:23.549,0:01:29.250
Johnson what do you think yes the
0:01:27.000,0:01:32.220
gentleman was named Cameron Ortiz he was
0:01:29.250,0:01:34.590
head of the RCMP s and you’re right it
0:01:32.220,0:01:37.560
would intelligence is all housed within
0:01:34.590,0:01:39.659
the FBI equivalent within Canada which
0:01:37.560,0:01:42.329
is the Royal Canadian Mounted Police the
0:01:39.659,0:01:44.340
RCMP so he was in the National
0:01:42.329,0:01:46.110
Intelligence Coordination centre which
0:01:44.340,0:01:48.960
as everyone expect when you’re in the
0:01:46.110,0:01:51.299
National Coordination centre that
0:01:48.960,0:01:53.159
implies that your coordination is with
0:01:51.299,0:01:55.560
other countries and that was indeed
0:01:53.159,0:01:58.920
precisely the case with this with this
0:01:55.560,0:02:00.960
person Cameron RT so mr. Ortiz would
0:01:58.920,0:02:02.729
have had for example access to
0:02:00.960,0:02:05.340
information from other countries as well
0:02:02.729,0:02:06.899
because as part of a Canadian
0:02:05.340,0:02:09.390
intelligence service and a senior
0:02:06.899,0:02:09.899
ranking guy and as you say a technical
0:02:09.390,0:02:12.599
person
0:02:09.899,0:02:14.730
would over pertinently had access to
0:02:12.599,0:02:16.140
these things he was part of the five
0:02:14.730,0:02:17.939
eyes program and he was one of the
0:02:16.140,0:02:19.890
direct members of the five eyes program
0:02:17.939,0:02:22.549
which for people who aren’t aware of
0:02:19.890,0:02:25.200
eyes is an intelligence sharing
0:02:22.549,0:02:27.480
organization and it’s between what New
0:02:25.200,0:02:29.489
Zealand Australia UK Canada and the
0:02:27.480,0:02:31.409
United States so he would have had
0:02:29.489,0:02:33.540
access and seen the information from all
0:02:31.409,0:02:35.489
five of those countries Canada’s own
0:02:33.540,0:02:37.319
domestic information that they developed
0:02:35.489,0:02:40.200
as well as from those other four
0:02:37.319,0:02:44.790
countries that I mentioned so he was
0:02:40.200,0:02:47.040
eventually caught and arrested last year
0:02:44.790,0:02:48.659
probably you know we don’t they don’t
0:02:47.040,0:02:50.760
give the dates they leave out a lot of
0:02:48.659,0:02:52.200
details which is what you expect but I
0:02:50.760,0:02:54.840
mean I can tell you just based on
0:02:52.200,0:02:56.730
experience a lot of what happens so I
0:02:54.840,0:02:57.900
mean I don’t have special information
0:02:56.730,0:03:01.260
but like I said I can tell you what
0:02:57.900,0:03:04.349
happened so sometime probably early last
0:03:01.260,0:03:06.450
year he was he was thumbed by the United
0:03:04.349,0:03:09.090
States the u.s. figured out who he was
0:03:06.450,0:03:11.909
that was reported not when but the fact
0:03:09.090,0:03:14.220
that he was tagged by the United States
0:03:11.909,0:03:17.280
as being bad apple that would take time
0:03:14.220,0:03:20.099
to research and surveil him and figure
0:03:17.280,0:03:21.629
out what he was up to so you’ve got to
0:03:20.099,0:03:24.060
assume there was a period in there of
0:03:21.629,0:03:26.010
six months three months at a minimum
0:03:24.060,0:03:28.849
maybe as much as a year possibly longer
0:03:26.010,0:03:31.560
but my guess would be sometime early in
0:03:28.849,0:03:33.989
2019 the United States had figured out
0:03:31.560,0:03:35.519
who he was certain information that was
0:03:33.989,0:03:39.120
getting leaked that the United States
0:03:35.519,0:03:41.370
was coming across identified this
0:03:39.120,0:03:42.690
gentleman and so that’s how they that’s
0:03:41.370,0:03:44.340
how they caught him so once he was
0:03:42.690,0:03:47.099
identified to Canada can’t attract it
0:03:44.340,0:03:49.739
down and at that point because he had
0:03:47.099,0:03:52.260
access to US information because of five
0:03:49.739,0:03:54.540
live’s the US had a dog in the fight so
0:03:52.260,0:03:56.549
this was a real problem that Canada
0:03:54.540,0:03:58.889
couldn’t cover up or walk away from so
0:03:56.549,0:04:00.989
it forced the hand of Canada which
0:03:58.889,0:04:02.879
knowing the Canadian Prime Minister that
0:04:00.989,0:04:05.549
you have he may or may not have been
0:04:02.879,0:04:07.409
really hot to act on somebody spying for
0:04:05.549,0:04:09.150
China now of course that information is
0:04:07.409,0:04:13.739
being covered up too but it was China as
0:04:09.150,0:04:16.380
you say correctly he was a Mandarin
0:04:13.739,0:04:21.450
speaker and he came out of the part of
0:04:16.380,0:04:22.870
the RCMP Asia area division that was
0:04:21.450,0:04:24.340
following all the things in Asia
0:04:22.870,0:04:26.530
so he would have been a long-term
0:04:24.340,0:04:28.300
well-placed guy that channa was China’s
0:04:26.530,0:04:32.620
in East Asia specifically just by the
0:04:28.300,0:04:34.300
way yes exactly right so he was he was
0:04:32.620,0:04:36.280
exactly the type of guy that China would
0:04:34.300,0:04:38.949
go after and they apparently recruited
0:04:36.280,0:04:44.500
him and we don’t know precisely Lin but
0:04:38.949,0:04:45.970
in January of this year now in 2020 more
0:04:44.500,0:04:47.440
charges came out against him so they
0:04:45.970,0:04:49.210
were able to deepen and widen the
0:04:47.440,0:04:51.550
investigation and at that point and like
0:04:49.210,0:04:54.550
I said at that point then the in the
0:04:51.550,0:04:58.180
u.s. the FBI would have cooked in two to
0:04:54.550,0:04:59.470
play with the RCMP and have helped do
0:04:58.180,0:05:01.210
the investigations they would have
0:04:59.470,0:05:02.680
learned more information then at least
0:05:01.210,0:05:05.169
between the u.s. and Canada putting it
0:05:02.680,0:05:06.940
together and the charges the new charges
0:05:05.169,0:05:12.100
go back as far as four things that he
0:05:06.940,0:05:14.860
did back in 2015 so we had 2015 to 2019
0:05:12.100,0:05:18.220
where we know for sure he was spying for
0:05:14.860,0:05:21.370
the Chinese now if those things that we
0:05:18.220,0:05:23.710
caught in LAN go back as far as 2015 he
0:05:21.370,0:05:27.099
was working for the Chinese at least by
0:05:23.710,0:05:29.380
that time and very likely before that so
0:05:27.099,0:05:31.270
likely you had a guy in there for who
0:05:29.380,0:05:33.370
knows how how long I mean it could have
0:05:31.270,0:05:35.470
been a very long time he’s a guy who’s
0:05:33.370,0:05:37.900
been in that business for a long time so
0:05:35.470,0:05:38.979
he’s a career guy to get as high as he
0:05:37.900,0:05:44.020
got being in the national intelligence
0:05:38.979,0:05:45.940
Coordination Center and so he could have
0:05:44.020,0:05:48.849
been doing this for 20 years 25 years I
0:05:45.940,0:05:51.099
mean we don’t know the investigation
0:05:48.849,0:05:52.960
they may or may not know the laws in
0:05:51.099,0:05:54.660
Canada aren’t as strict as they are here
0:05:52.960,0:05:58.599
in the United States so there’s less
0:05:54.660,0:06:02.080
motive for mr. Ortiz for example to to
0:05:58.599,0:06:03.460
just tell everything and the maximum
0:06:02.080,0:06:05.349
penalties and stuff under the laws that
0:06:03.460,0:06:07.510
I believe now this all hasn’t been laid
0:06:05.349,0:06:10.900
out yet we don’t know all the charges
0:06:07.510,0:06:12.400
but probably the max timing be looking
0:06:10.900,0:06:15.639
at would be like 15 years or something
0:06:12.400,0:06:18.039
like that so and in Canada I think you
0:06:15.639,0:06:20.380
do get off for good behavior and things
0:06:18.039,0:06:21.099
to end up spending only a part of that
0:06:20.380,0:06:23.320
time in jail
0:06:21.099,0:06:25.330
so there’s far less motive for him to
0:06:23.320,0:06:26.800
come clean and say everything here in
0:06:25.330,0:06:28.419
the United States where the we’re
0:06:26.800,0:06:31.300
basically you go to jail for life and
0:06:28.419,0:06:32.630
the only way to avoid you know maybe
0:06:31.300,0:06:36.260
worse things
0:06:32.630,0:06:37.670
yes our our to make a plea deal and the
0:06:36.260,0:06:39.410
plea deal is basically you tell us
0:06:37.670,0:06:41.540
absolutely everything you ever did for
0:06:39.410,0:06:43.700
them when who how what when where all
0:06:41.540,0:06:46.610
those those sorts of things so that we
0:06:43.700,0:06:48.950
know what the bad guys know so that we
0:06:46.610,0:06:50.510
can kind of repair and change things
0:06:48.950,0:06:52.190
around and we know that their
0:06:50.510,0:06:54.560
methodology for hemming and all of that
0:06:52.190,0:06:57.860
now he would have been a highly trusted
0:06:54.560,0:06:59.570
asset a set of Chinese intelligence one
0:06:57.860,0:07:02.450
of the reasons I can say that is because
0:06:59.570,0:07:07.280
they made a kind of a comment in passing
0:07:02.450,0:07:10.010
in the papers that he held devices
0:07:07.280,0:07:13.220
technical devices for communication now
0:07:10.010,0:07:16.430
we really call that cough comm covert
0:07:13.220,0:07:17.690
communications which the Chinese would
0:07:16.430,0:07:19.820
have issued to him and they don’t issue
0:07:17.690,0:07:22.160
that to just anybody so this is somebody
0:07:19.820,0:07:23.330
that was you know had two things one he
0:07:22.160,0:07:25.190
was somebody that they had fully
0:07:23.330,0:07:27.410
validated as telling them the truth that
0:07:25.190,0:07:31.610
he was indeed doing what he was directed
0:07:27.410,0:07:34.310
to do and two that he had access to
0:07:31.610,0:07:36.950
information of interest so of course he
0:07:34.310,0:07:38.810
clearly had access to of interest to the
0:07:36.950,0:07:40.490
Chinese so he was a perfect candidate
0:07:38.810,0:07:42.440
for cocom but the fact that it was
0:07:40.490,0:07:44.240
issued like I said it confirms those two
0:07:42.440,0:07:46.730
things so we know that he was well
0:07:44.240,0:07:49.010
trusted that takes time so like I said
0:07:46.730,0:07:51.170
again I would be very surprised if he
0:07:49.010,0:07:53.720
only started working for the Chinese in
0:07:51.170,0:07:55.700
2015 I would be guessing more like a
0:07:53.720,0:07:57.980
decade’s worth of spying espionage
0:07:55.700,0:07:59.930
against Canada and of course once he got
0:07:57.980,0:08:02.720
to this position against the five eyes
0:07:59.930,0:08:06.050
partners the intelligence partners in
0:08:02.720,0:08:09.170
this so this is a very very big deal and
0:08:06.050,0:08:11.600
very dangerous and it’s all part of what
0:08:09.170,0:08:14.780
I’ve talked about many times it’s an
0:08:11.600,0:08:16.730
extraordinarily aggressive Chinese
0:08:14.780,0:08:18.800
intelligence collection program on a
0:08:16.730,0:08:20.960
worldwide basis and let’s not forget
0:08:18.800,0:08:24.800
what it’s about a year and a half ago
0:08:20.960,0:08:27.560
now the Chinese pitched a man – he was
0:08:24.800,0:08:30.170
well placed in Australia to run for the
0:08:27.560,0:08:31.370
Parliament there and they were gonna pay
0:08:30.170,0:08:33.080
him a million dollars to fund his
0:08:31.370,0:08:34.669
campaign and of course would run him
0:08:33.080,0:08:36.500
after he won and became a
0:08:34.669,0:08:38.539
parliamentarian he ended up dying
0:08:36.500,0:08:40.610
apparently it was not a suspicious death
0:08:38.539,0:08:43.280
but don’t know haven’t seen the report
0:08:40.610,0:08:44.540
and there’s a lot of cases of those
0:08:43.280,0:08:45.490
sorts of things we’ve seen the Chinese
0:08:44.540,0:08:49.240
be very
0:08:45.490,0:08:51.160
recive particularly in Canada and really
0:08:49.240,0:08:53.170
the point I wanted to bring this to is
0:08:51.160,0:08:55.779
you know let’s not forget what Huawei
0:08:53.170,0:08:58.140
was doing and they had one of their most
0:08:55.779,0:09:00.670
important key people in doing the
0:08:58.140,0:09:03.250
espionage aspects of Huawei
0:09:00.670,0:09:04.959
was in Canada and that’s the person the
0:09:03.250,0:09:06.790
woman that was eventually arrested and
0:09:04.959,0:09:09.399
is being held in Canada I believe to
0:09:06.790,0:09:10.839
this day based on US charges in the u.s.
0:09:09.399,0:09:14.140
is trying to extradite to the United
0:09:10.839,0:09:16.360
States to stand trial now that what look
0:09:14.140,0:09:19.680
at what all of that means and there are
0:09:16.360,0:09:23.140
and if we look at the level 4 lab in
0:09:19.680,0:09:26.950
Winnipeg that was badly penetrated by
0:09:23.140,0:09:28.480
Chinese intelligence so you know in an
0:09:26.950,0:09:31.690
interview I did not too long ago I
0:09:28.480,0:09:34.410
mentioned demand also out of the RCMP
0:09:31.690,0:09:37.089
David Harris who’s at a counter
0:09:34.410,0:09:39.550
terrorism expert and and very
0:09:37.089,0:09:42.310
knowledgeable guy and one of the things
0:09:39.550,0:09:46.360
that he mentioned is that with all of
0:09:42.310,0:09:48.839
them migration into Canada of that that
0:09:46.360,0:09:53.170
also contains a lot of Islamic radical
0:09:48.839,0:09:57.790
radicalism within those ranks that the
0:09:53.170,0:10:00.250
radicals looked at Canada as a aircraft
0:09:57.790,0:10:02.200
carrier for attacking the United States
0:10:00.250,0:10:04.570
because it was just so well-placed to do
0:10:02.200,0:10:06.520
these things and I think China has done
0:10:04.570,0:10:09.370
exactly the same thing they’ve concluded
0:10:06.520,0:10:12.339
that previously that Canada was the
0:10:09.370,0:10:14.860
perfect place to put that intelligence
0:10:12.339,0:10:15.910
aircraft carrier and it was the platform
0:10:14.860,0:10:19.360
for which they were doing a lot of
0:10:15.910,0:10:21.760
things if you are can attack in Canada
0:10:19.360,0:10:23.980
in an intelligence sense and recruit the
0:10:21.760,0:10:26.079
guys of this level of as Cameron Ortiz
0:10:23.980,0:10:27.459
where he’s providing a lot of this
0:10:26.079,0:10:30.130
intelligence that’s collected by the
0:10:27.459,0:10:31.060
United States and China would been one
0:10:30.130,0:10:34.660
of the things that would have been
0:10:31.060,0:10:37.390
talked about in there it’s the perfect
0:10:34.660,0:10:39.430
place to to operate out of where they’re
0:10:37.390,0:10:40.839
kind of once removed from the scrutiny
0:10:39.430,0:10:42.760
that they would get United States I
0:10:40.839,0:10:44.890
think the fact that Huawei was based
0:10:42.760,0:10:45.850
there at such a senior level I think all
0:10:44.890,0:10:47.920
the things that we’re doing in the
0:10:45.850,0:10:50.620
Winnipeg lab I think this case of
0:10:47.920,0:10:53.920
Cameron Ortiz what we see is that China
0:10:50.620,0:10:57.370
views Canada as basically as safe ground
0:10:53.920,0:11:00.490
in which to do what they’re doing and
0:10:57.370,0:11:01.810
and a lot of the aspects of this I have
0:11:00.490,0:11:04.089
all of those things I mentioned I
0:11:01.810,0:11:06.400
believe that with possible the exception
0:11:04.089,0:11:08.710
of Winnipeg all of that was based on US
0:11:06.400,0:11:11.560
intelligence creating a state making
0:11:08.710,0:11:13.510
Canada do it Canada would not have done
0:11:11.560,0:11:15.130
any of these things on their own without
0:11:13.510,0:11:16.750
the impetus of the United States and
0:11:15.130,0:11:19.150
because the United States was sharing
0:11:16.750,0:11:20.589
information with Canada that that’s kind
0:11:19.150,0:11:21.790
of what it boils down to you want to
0:11:20.589,0:11:23.980
seat at the table you have to follow
0:11:21.790,0:11:25.060
these roles and I think that’s forced
0:11:23.980,0:11:26.680
the hand I don’t think the Prime
0:11:25.060,0:11:28.390
Minister in Canada as I said would have
0:11:26.680,0:11:31.450
done all of this he philosophically is
0:11:28.390,0:11:33.850
extreme laughs so which we’ve clearly
0:11:31.450,0:11:35.710
seen in his his time there as Prime
0:11:33.850,0:11:37.450
Minister and so I think he’s relatively
0:11:35.710,0:11:39.490
philosophically friendly towards China
0:11:37.450,0:11:41.200
so I think a lot of these things are
0:11:39.490,0:11:46.839
only taking place because his hand has
0:11:41.200,0:11:49.540
been forced so I I you know it’s hard to
0:11:46.839,0:11:52.390
come to a conclusion we hope that this
0:11:49.540,0:11:54.339
is kind of the extent of of the depth of
0:11:52.390,0:11:56.680
the problem that we see in Canada but I
0:11:54.339,0:11:59.620
would have to say I think that’s naive I
0:11:56.680,0:12:02.170
think the Chinese have made serious
0:11:59.620,0:12:05.410
inroads into every level of Canadian
0:12:02.170,0:12:07.600
government and I don’t think Canada can
0:12:05.410,0:12:09.760
be considered a trusted partner in the
0:12:07.600,0:12:11.950
five eyes program I think that should be
0:12:09.760,0:12:13.779
looked at it won’t be but I think it
0:12:11.950,0:12:17.800
should be as long as the Prime Minister
0:12:13.779,0:12:19.540
is there I think the other aspects that
0:12:17.800,0:12:21.880
the Canadian people should be looking at
0:12:19.540,0:12:25.240
are you know what are those
0:12:21.880,0:12:28.180
relationships I mean is you know do you
0:12:25.240,0:12:29.830
want a communist form of government and
0:12:28.180,0:12:31.300
if you look at what the some of the
0:12:29.830,0:12:33.610
statements the Prime Minister is made
0:12:31.300,0:12:37.089
about there being now he’s assuring in
0:12:33.610,0:12:39.760
this period of post nationalism in the
0:12:37.089,0:12:41.709
sense of no longer will there be Canada
0:12:39.760,0:12:45.520
for Canadians it’s some sort of rural
0:12:41.709,0:12:47.110
government idea and that’s basically the
0:12:45.520,0:12:48.670
socialist international status the
0:12:47.110,0:12:52.089
policy that you see the Communist
0:12:48.670,0:12:53.680
Party’s push worldwide so it seems to be
0:12:52.089,0:12:56.080
kind of the way that Canada is headed
0:12:53.680,0:12:58.330
which has allowed this open door where
0:12:56.080,0:13:01.150
the Chinese are just running rampant I
0:12:58.330,0:13:03.520
mean this is completely out of control
0:13:01.150,0:13:06.700
in Canada so how this plays out how this
0:13:03.520,0:13:08.740
goes forward we’ve seen also a great
0:13:06.700,0:13:10.370
deal of repression of the news in Canada
0:13:08.740,0:13:12.830
this type of stuff isn’t reported
0:13:10.370,0:13:13.970
so III don’t see how the people are
0:13:12.830,0:13:16.810
going to be able to fight back and
0:13:13.970,0:13:20.120
defend themselves as Canadians in Canada
0:13:16.810,0:13:21.790
particularly with this virus being taken
0:13:20.120,0:13:24.980
advantage of to shut everything down
0:13:21.790,0:13:27.080
related question should Canada plow
0:13:24.980,0:13:31.490
forwards if we aren’t already with
0:13:27.080,0:13:32.900
having China’s Huawei install our 5g do
0:13:31.490,0:13:36.020
you think that might cause the United
0:13:32.900,0:13:38.089
States to completely cut can it out of
0:13:36.020,0:13:41.710
any five eyes or any other special
0:13:38.089,0:13:45.080
relationship in terms of intelligence
0:13:41.710,0:13:45.860
well I am you are asking actually two
0:13:45.080,0:13:48.170
separate questions
0:13:45.860,0:13:50.450
should they or will they and that should
0:13:48.170,0:13:53.750
they yes almost certainly I mean if if
0:13:50.450,0:13:54.920
if Canada goes with Huawei 5g which we
0:13:53.750,0:13:57.589
all know Canada is basically
0:13:54.920,0:14:00.140
blackmailing to have happen and if
0:13:57.589,0:14:01.250
Canada capitulates on that which you
0:14:00.140,0:14:03.680
know with the Prime Minister that’s
0:14:01.250,0:14:05.270
their that’s what he wants to do so I
0:14:03.680,0:14:07.580
think stopping it would be hard he’ll
0:14:05.270,0:14:10.330
come up with an excuse why he has to go
0:14:07.580,0:14:13.550
forward with with Huawei with the 5g but
0:14:10.330,0:14:15.440
Canadians if if while it runs 5g for
0:14:13.550,0:14:17.420
your country they own you I mean they
0:14:15.440,0:14:19.339
own you the amount of information that
0:14:17.420,0:14:21.709
they they run and can have and have
0:14:19.339,0:14:24.320
access to you can’t have a medical
0:14:21.709,0:14:25.730
secret or a banking secret or a behavior
0:14:24.320,0:14:28.610
secret they’re going to know it all in
0:14:25.730,0:14:30.950
China they’ll know more about Connect
0:14:28.610,0:14:33.410
Canada and Canadians than Canada will
0:14:30.950,0:14:35.750
itself and unless they share it back for
0:14:33.410,0:14:37.250
some reason but I think that’s the
0:14:35.750,0:14:40.700
beginning of the end of Canada of
0:14:37.250,0:14:42.950
democracy in Canada if you go 5g and now
0:14:40.700,0:14:45.920
will the United States drop Canada from
0:14:42.950,0:14:47.570
these information sharing things like
0:14:45.920,0:14:49.730
five eyes I mean I don’t think they
0:14:47.570,0:14:52.190
would I just don’t think so I mean there
0:14:49.730,0:14:54.260
would have to be a specific provocation
0:14:52.190,0:14:54.709
where once again we find somebody like
0:14:54.260,0:14:57.350
this
0:14:54.709,0:14:58.880
Cameron Ortiz that’s sharing or giving
0:14:57.350,0:15:00.740
spying for China and giving you
0:14:58.880,0:15:02.209
information back to China with a couple
0:15:00.740,0:15:03.770
of provocations like that maybe you’d
0:15:02.209,0:15:06.470
see it reexamined but without the
0:15:03.770,0:15:07.459
provocation people it’s Canada the
0:15:06.470,0:15:09.620
United States if had to get a
0:15:07.459,0:15:12.770
relationship for too long for somebody
0:15:09.620,0:15:14.450
to just have the wherewithal the courage
0:15:12.770,0:15:16.100
to look at look at it and say wait a
0:15:14.450,0:15:17.779
minute let’s examine this whole
0:15:16.100,0:15:20.030
relationship from top to bottom
0:15:17.779,0:15:21.680
you got 5g now they’re there China’s
0:15:20.030,0:15:23.590
having your launch you know you’re not
0:15:21.680,0:15:26.380
worth partnering with on these
0:15:23.590,0:15:28.380
because you can’t be trusted and that
0:15:26.380,0:15:31.420
would require a lot of political courage
0:15:28.380,0:15:34.000
and I just don’t see anybody having that
0:15:31.420,0:15:35.560
the United States but politicians are
0:15:34.000,0:15:37.360
cowards I mean we all understand that
0:15:35.560,0:15:39.100
they want to stay elected till the day
0:15:37.360,0:15:43.440
they die and they’re just not going to
0:15:39.100,0:15:43.440
do what’s right if it requires courage
0:15:47.510,0:15:49.570
you
0:15:49.710,0:15:59.120
