OTTAWA — A veteran Ottawa journalist is firing back against what he says are"entirely false" claims by a former Conservative cabinet minister that he acted as a Russian agent.
Alexander was an immigration minister in Stephen Harper's Conservative government and a former Canadian ambassador to Afghanistan. Reached by phone on Friday, Alexander said he stands by the comments he made at the committee and the documents presented to them. He said he has no way of knowing whether the documents are real, but that"the claims that I am some kind of Russian agent ... that's fabricated, that's false."
"It's a sad irony these comments were made in a meeting examining disinformation campaigns," the organization said.
