Montreal sometimes prides itself on being the headquarters of OACI, but it turns out a mixed blessing. It’s been revealed that a diplomat of that service leveraged his position to deal Chinese military drones to regimes in Africa and the Middle East. He also dealt in fake diplomatic visas. The UN has sacked James Wan and he has left Canada, but the affair casts a shade over a global agency and, by association, this city.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say it shades the city. New York/Vienna/Berlin/London all have pretty solid reputations, despite being associated with all kinds of nefarious spy stuff.
