OTTAWA — A woman accused of spying for Russia says there’s nothing to the allegations because her actions ended up helping Canadian interests.
An agent from the FSB, a Russian security agency, contacted Filatova to ask questions about the project and David gave her permission to tell the agent anything he wanted to know in the interest of transparency. Elena and the agent met about seven times over a period of years. She came to Canada in September 2013 to live with David, applying for permanent residence under his sponsorship.
Adjudicator Annie Lafleur wrote that some may consider Elena’s acts harmless given the socio-political context of post-Soviet Russia in the 1990s, and she was sympathetic to the couple. But she said there must be legal benchmarks “to preserve the integrity of the immigration system, guarantee Canada’s security and on a larger scale, protect Canada’s fundamental values.”
“Sanity may prevail and I’m very hopeful that it will. But at the moment it’s conceivable that they could say, ‘Well, let’s grind these people into the ground.”‘The intelligence was 'necessarily intended to be used in one way or another by the Russian state'
Let us find Justin Trudeau JustinTrudeau inadmissible to Canada because he spoke to Putin FSB Officer.
We have 40000 illegal emigrants in Canada in two years and the immigration board is choosing this women to show how they are protecting the integrity of the system. God help us.
If she's not a Muslim terrorist, she'll have to go.
