🇨🇦 Canada grants parole to its own secrets violator

Cameron Ortis, the former RCMP intelligence director convicted under the Security of Information Act, is already getting day parole. That is the state of Canadian justice: endless lectures about extremism for ordinary citizens, but the man who sat at the top of federal intelligence and violated secrets law gets a supervised outing schedule. As reported, this was the first person ever convicted under that law in Canada, which makes the leniency look even more absurd.

This is what institutional rot looks like. Ottawa cannot secure borders, cannot stop foreign interference, cannot protect classified information inside its own police apparatus, yet still demands more trust, more surveillance powers, more deference. The same elite class that treats patriotic dissent like a public menace somehow finds mercy when failure comes from inside the regime. National sovereignty is not defended by hollow talking points and bureaucratic theatre. It is defended by serious institutions, and Canada clearly does not have them anymore.
