Investigative journalist Sam Cooper’s revelations of money laundering and communist China’s involvement in transnational criminal activities on Canadian soil was the topic of a panel discussion on Oct. 21, with one expert saying that Ottawa should do a better job of keeping the public informed.

Cooper’s book, “Wilful Blindness: How a Network of Narcos, Tycoons and CCP Agents Infiltrated the West,” details his investigation of suspicious money-laundering activities in Vancouver’s casinos. Following the money trail, he uncovers the intricate connections between drug trafficking organizations in Canada, Hong Kong triads, and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
