New Montrealers: an epic tale
A couple who sheltered Edward Snowden when he fled to Hong Kong have found their home here in Montreal. I’m surprised the United States isn’t making more of a fuss – wouldn’t they regard Snowden’s helpers as aiding and abetting his crimes?

What he exposed, what they want to try him for. What they sued him for in civil court. The whole basis of what he is charged for… was… declared illegal in September of 2020. So, while he violated the espionage law, he’s also now legally a whistleblower. So they want to charge him under the espionage act but he should be protected under the Whistleblower Protection Act. But it took 7 years to vindicate what he was saying. It’s a very complicated case.
