Of all the responses to the bombshell report of the Prime Minister’s national security advisory committee, in which it is alleged some MPs have been conspiring with foreign powers against the national interest, surely the most arresting was that of Professor Wesley Wark.
The revelations, he told the CBC, are “nausea-inducing.” The urge to vomit seemed particularly to overtake him at the story of a former MP who tried “to arrange a meeting in a foreign state with a senior intelligence official” and “proactively provided the intelligence officer with information provided in confidence.” Prof. Wark’s verdict: “textbook treason.”
