Speaking of David Kilgour..
The Liberal MP pondering a defection to the Tories... (which, by the way, would be a tragedy for Tim Uppal who barely lost in the last election to him.)
Let me quote from one of his books titled "Betrayal: The Spy Canada Abandoned" which was published in 1994.
This is from Chapter 9 "A Bizarre Episode in Rome":
As Paszowski was returning to his hotel, his mind was full of what he had just heard. He was to blow up a plane and cause people to die. He started to pull all the threads together. He remembered Maduck stressing the government of Canada's troubles with its Sikh community and that it would be useful to discredit Canadian Sikhs generally. The Air India catastrophe off Ireland, which had killed more than three hundreds passengers, mostly Canadians, had occurred the previous year. Would a similar event benefit the government of India while subduing the Canadian Sikh community as the prime suspects in the Air India crash? It seemed very clear that high-ranking people in these countries and probably others were involved.
The governments of Canada, India and Italy, or perhaps rogue branches of each, acting in concert, had decided on this preposterous mission and had recruited agents like himself to help carry it out. There was no concern for human life, only political objectives mattered. There were two Sikhs in the group, but who knew their real identity or from which side they came? They were many other unknown factors about the mission, but Paszowski was certain he wanted none of it.
If he's not going to be a Parliamentarian anymore, might as well help him sell some books.
And maybe he could testify at the Air India inquiry? (assuming one goes ahead...)
Update: I should include one more excerpt from the same chapter:
CSIS badly wanted someone arrested following an attack on an Air India flight after its ineffective efforts to identify those involved in the June 23, 1985, disaster in which three hundred and twenty-nine passenders died off the coast of Ireland. In all likelihood, if CSIS was a party to this enterprise, it intended to abort the mission by arresting all involved before anyone could be hurt. Third, a controversial book by journalists Zuhair Kashmeri and Brian McAndrew, argued that rogue members of the Third Agency, an intelligence group allegedly created in the early 1980s to build support for Indira Gandhi's government by stirring up Sikh militants in Punjab, committed the 1985 catastrophe to discredit Sikhs world wide and those living in Canada in particular. If true, and the government of India vehemently denied any involvement, was there some involvement by the Third Agency in the Rome plot? If Paszkowski's account of what he encountered in Rome all invented, why were so many Canadian government representatives so anxious that he divulge no details of why he was in Rome?
