O, Canada! What have you done now?
When in the process of awarding military contracts, it would seem an elementary exercise to check the backgrounds of the people you are awarding contracts to. For example, you might want to make sure that the person receiving a $2 million military contract isn't, say, the son of a senior official in the government of the country that is the leading state sponsor of Islamic terrorism, a country that is an enemy of civilization itself.
And yet, that's just what Canada has done, hiring this goblin even as the Canadian intelligence apparatus was looking into the guy's activities.

Since founding two companies in Alberta, an Edmonton resident named “Sal Ghafouri” has received more than $2 million in federal and provincial contracts, including from the RCMP and Department of National Defence, public records show.
