We, the media, haven't done enough to explain how devastating foreign interference can be for individual Canadians These people are Canadian citizensβ€”our kin. Part of our family. And we’re hanging them out to dry. They’re crying out for help, help that they are legally and morally owed, and we’re shrugging it off.

The PM discussed a "new" economic and security relationship post election. Canadians should know what is the new arrangement being discussed and negotiated before a vote.

After the Signal Leak, How Well Do You Know Your Own Group Chats? A journalist’s inclusion in a national security discussion served as a reminder that you might not know every number in the chat β€” and that could be a big problem.

Hey, are you sure you want to send that to your group chat? Like, one thousand percent sure?

Just checking. Because it’s been a strange week in the history of the group chat.

We knew a lot of this before from other stories and Hogue. Now we know he didn't know, or his circle, it was disorganized, and this was what CSIS wanted to tell him, ok. A lot isn't new. But why are we reading about it again at the start of an election?
