Markham Deputy Mayor Michael Chan says he has been humiliated by leaks related to foreign interference, which he denies
As well as suing CSIS itself, Chan has named service director David Vigneault, CSIS leakers identified by the pseudonyms John Doe and Jane Smith, Globe and Mail reporter Bob Fife and Global News reporter Sam Cooper. The two journalists were behind the bulk of news reports on the leaked material.CSIS was unable to provide comment by deadline.
Chan spent 11 years in provincial politics, retiring in 2018, then ran for the York Region council north of Toronto. As the candidate with the most votes in Markham he automatically became deputy mayor of the city. Chan’s lawsuit says the accusations of disloyalty are all erroneous, charging that the intelligence was based on rumour, innuendo and political biases. Because of its unreliability and potential to harm reputations, it was especially important for CSIS and Vigneault to ensure such leaks didn’t happen, the claim says.
