From the article: "the man worked for the Canadian Security and Intelligence Service, and then became a paid RCMP agent once a criminal investigation was launched."

That doesn't sound "late in the game" to me. Since he was already a CSIS agent I would guess that either he or his parents are "old school" immigrants who remember WHY they left their home country in the first place. I know a few muslims who fall into that category.

You're probably correct that the Star is using this story to spin their Lib/multicult vision of the world but the worst thing about it IMO was that they are placing the guy in danger by giving him more publicity.

The article begins with "A well-known member of Toronto's Muslim community worked as a police agent ..." which I'd interpret as making him, at best, a snitch rather than "an agent" for CSIS & the various police forces involved.

Plus, the very fact that the red Star was quite careful not to offer its readers anything even close to a timeline as to his activities, combined with its well known agenda, lends credence to my theory.

Also since he wasn't an "agent" in the sense you seem to be using the term, I don't see any basis for your "guess".

To me, some red-Star-approved left-wing 'community activist' and/or politico playing both sides in some sort of typical mid-Eastern 'double' game is far more likely.
