The guy who supposedly found them is a member of the "Rideau Institute". For those not in the know they are a left leaning anti-war group. CTV love to use them when we lose a soldier.
Very suspicious.

It may not have been an accident.

It was Dion, just another attempt from a feeble opposition leader to try to stir up controversy
It was one of his left wing-nut insiders

There is more to this than meets the eye. My spidey senses went right up when I saw a guy from the Rideau Institute 'found' the documents.
I don't know if you are familiar with this 'advocacy' group Bart. They are part of 'ceasefire.ca' and were formerly the anti-military org called the Polaris Institute.
The pinkies at CTV love to have Steven Staples (the head guy at the Rideau Inst) on NewsNet when they want to tilt Afghanistan stories to the anti-CF side.
The guy has no military background, either educationally or operationally yet they wheel him out as a 'defence expert'.
Very annoying.
Having this Rideau Institute guy with this kind of anti-military background coming across these documents on an Ottawa sidewalk seems highly unlikely as well as co-incidental.
I don't think we have heard the last of this.

According to what I heard on the news from an "insider", this type of breach is actually shockingly common. Secret files left open on benches over coffe breaks. Shredders not working properly so documents just tossed out.
I think this is a result of lax security procedures.

There have been lots of similar issues, laptops stolen etc but this guy from the Rideau Institute 'finding' this stuff is very different and inherently suspicious.
There will be more on this!

The updated story contains this...
"Anthony Salloum, policy analyst for the left-leaning Rideau Institute, says he and his spouse came upon seven cardboard tubes of blueprints in a pile of trash during a walk on Bank Street on Oct 13."
oct 13 and we're just hearing about it now ![[huh]](./images/smilies/icon_scratch.gif "huh?"){kind=icon}

It was a security contractor that got lazy I bet. Happens all the time because they answer to no one as most are here today gone the next anyway. So standards are impossible to enforce.
