Yantai Gan, whom the Royal Society of Canada said in a Facebook post “invented pulse-based, ‘integrated suite’ of farming technologies,” was arrested by the RCMP in November of 2019 after a 21-month investigation.
Gan, a 65-year-old from Kelowna, B.C., was employed by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada at the time of his arrest. According to the Government of Canada, he was a senior research scientist based in Swift Current.
He was elected to the Royal Society of Canada in 2019.
In a media release, the RCMP said a search warrant was executed at the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s offices in Swift Current on Nov. 19, 2019 after an investigation led by the RCMP’s National Security Enforcement Section (NSES). A search warrant also was executed at a residence in Swift Current that same day.
According to the RCMP website, officers from the NSES and related units “undertake national security criminal investigations into terrorist activities as needed in the antiterrorism provisions of the Criminal Code as well as any occurrence arising out of a threat to the security of Canada, under the Security Offenses Act.”
An initial search uncovers precious little background info about this guy from Kelowna. He’s been charged with fraud and breach of trust.
Professional bio here.
Just a guess, sold protected or patented data to a foreign power (which rhymes with miner).
That’s Justin’s job.
why now, after 2 years

Interesting that the vast majority of his posse are Chinese with little (2-4) in the way of publications. Must have been a mentor.
Let me just take a wild ass guess, bio technology advancements information leaked to CCP. When we have plants that have the ability to fix its own nitrogen from the atmosphere, like what current legumes ie peas and lentils, this will revolutionize agriculture. Anyone who owns this tech will rival big tech and pharma as synthetic nitrogen’s will not be needed. No more synthetic nitrogen equals no more carbon created from the industrialized process.
Can’t trust those Swedes.
Claws of the panda?
Maybe developing a new disease for Canadian crops?
In the same article, a link to this doozie:

The two arrested were named Nigel Oxbridge Carruthers, and Malcolm ChristleThwaite ….
…. just kidding, of course not! Bwwwaaahahahaha…
Big freaking deal, people are giving vax info to waitresses at restaurants. They are recording it on their personal phones. Jesus, is everybody stupid?
Just another stealing secrets story. Thank you, greedy Canadian university system. You should best check up on what your many “foreign” students are downloading on a disconcerting regular basis. Not to mention the foreign faculty and those funding the effort, with no little largesse. Tri Councils of Canada, list your research grants.
They infiltrate our institutions like rodents, or roaches. Pick your vermin. It will fit.
Just ask our dear Manchurian Candidate.
We invite them because they pay full fare as students. Graduate students have full access to the research they are involved with. Stuff gets stolen. Go figure.
Until we decide certain countries are not actually friendly there will be a lot of this closing the barn doors after the cows got out stuff.
We invite them because they pay full fare as students.
Like I said in my other comment, it’s all about the $$$$.
Graduate students have full access to the research they are involved with.
Yup. It’s the so-called “brotherhood” of research. Then again, corporations cut their internal R & D departments, farming the work out to universities where they can exploit the cheap labour of grad students, plus getting tax breaks for doing so.
Stuff gets stolen.
I never saw that as a grad student, but I wouldn’t be in the least bit surprised if it happened.
Thank you, greedy Canadian university system.
Yup. It’s all about $$$. I saw that while I was a grad student.
They infiltrate our institutions like rodents, or roaches.
As I’ve mentioned numerous times on SDA, the Chinese own the university system, even though they’re in the minority. In the department where I worked on my last 2 degrees, between a quarter and a third of the grad students were Chinese. They acted like they owned the place and we citizens were squatters on their turf.
B A,
I know whereof you speak, which is why I referenced rodents and roaches.
I even know all the Armpit colleges in Alberta, not to mention the Universities, and the former colleges that garnered university status.
You and me, brother, could share some stories, of that I am certain.
Part of the situation is the fault of the government.
A certain former grad student of foreign extraction that I personally knew got herself a cushy position at a certain eastern university. One reason she got the job, and the funding that came with it, was because the government wanted more women and, as the old Frank used to call them, vizmins and she filled both requirements.
Geez… the next thing you know the PM will be ordering our military to train the Peoples Liberation Army in tactical winter warfare… oh yeah, that already happened, but somehow Juthtin Turdhole wasn’t charged with anything.
Still waiting for the gangster Liberal Party to stop hiding information relating to their decision to allow high ranking CCP military personal into the Winnipeg Level 4 Bio-Lab.
Seems some people are above the law and when I say “some people” I mean Liberals, cops, and politicians in general, is there a more lawless mob then the entitled authoritarian modern ruling class.
There was the issue of the Chinese scientist crawling through seed corn fields in Iowa 4 or so years ago. Germplasma theft. Why spend all the time and money developing things when you can steal or bribe your way into access
The Chicoms are thieves. Maybe because they haven’t invented anything since gunpowder?
They invented an important virus just a couple years ago. And are rolling out improved models every 6 months.
