Canadian MP upset CSIS knew about his meetings with dodgy diplomat

Canadian MP felt ‘shadow of doubt’ after spy agency warned him about diplomat

A veteran Canadian MP met three times with the ambassador of a country in the crosshairs of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, leading CSIS to warn the parliamentarian away from further interactions, CBC News has learned.

“You just cast a shadow of doubt over everyone,” the MP said, speaking confidentially because he was not authorized to comment publicly on the matter.

“Once you have that doubt placed on you, I don’t know how you recover.”

CBC News is not identifying the country in question in order to protect the MP’s identity.

CBC and the MP seem to suggest CSIS was out of line by doing their job.
