To me, it is inconceivable that a colonel in Russia's military intelligence, Mikhail Mikushin, could have spent a decade in Canada, earning two degrees, one of which was at Carleton University, where the Valdai club member holds tenure. It is inconceivable that Canada's intelligence services did not identify him for over a decade. It was the Norwegians who had to do it for us.
Similarly, the Vavilovs were here for over a decade. They moved on to the United States. I mean, this is how they work. They become nice Canadians—we're all nice people—and then they go on as trusted allies and continue their work. They were exposed by the Americans.
I don't understand it. What are our security services doing?
