Fraud and breach of trust charges against a former Agriculture Canada researcher at the research centre in Swift Current, Sask., have been stayed.
Yantai Gan was to go to trial May 1, but a King’s Bench judge ruled earlier this year that the matter was taking too long.
Federal prosecutor Wade McBride said the Supreme Court of Canada’s Jordan decision established timelines to get matters to trial. For provincial court, the limit is 18 months and for King’s Bench it must be heard within 30 months.
“We argued all sorts of points as to where portions of the delay (occurred),” McBride said.
“In the end the trial judge found that to the end of the trial would be 30 months and two weeks, so we would be two weeks past that Jordan absolute limitation.” […]
Gan, now 67, was charged in November 2019 after a 21-month investigation by RCMP.
He allegedly worked for Gansu Agricultural University in China while also working for the federal government.
Court documents alleged the offences occurred between Jan. 1, 2012, and June 30, 2018. They said Gan entered into an unauthorized contractual arrangement with the university, failed to disclose the relationship and the remuneration he received, and that he recruited for, or organized, an international research collaboration for the university.
The arrest was kept secret for two years.
The greatest victory is that which requires no battle: “He told MPs that Mounties nevertheless parked police vehicles in front of the four suspected illegal police stations to show their presence”

So the Chicoms not only own the politicians, they also own the courts.
Yes the Chicoms own them, but they allowed themselves to be bought. I don’t think the Chinese had to work all that hard to corrupt them. It’s seems most in Canada are happy to be bought by either the Chicoms or the government. What a failed experiment Canada has become.
You can count on the bottom feeders to come up with laws that they can skate around depending on the requirements of the ruling class.
China’s communists know and are experts, if there were actual experts, on how to weave silk around democracy to strangle it with its softness.
Of course they will call anybody that speaks to it a “racist”.
The media cartel will use it in their submission to call those that don’t agree, “racist”
So the Chinese communists have no way to lose.
Why should anyone be surprised that a Canadian Judge can be bought?
After all…most of them are Liberals.
Perfect example of why they all need to be elected with recall options available. This is top down corruption and its systemic now in Canada. Don’t think we can vote our way out anymore.
Even with the Recall, in most cases you end up with the same corrupt politician getting put back into place.
A convenient little delay quickly erases a shitload of inconvenient truth.
BTW, I sent the story to Peter Pea-rabbit. I know he’ll get right on it.
Oh, Joostaihn…how about an SCC appointment for that judge?
Ain’t Just Us grand?
This process is the status quo method of appearing to obey the law,while subverting the law.
And it works,the media narrative spinners just lap it up..The politicians continually abuse it..
Yet a citizen can sit in jail,on mischief charges, for month before a trial..
Just Us is a prerequisite of an operational kleptocracy.
The enemy within has shown its face,once again.
Everybody understands their role; no orders have to be issued and no money needs to be exchanged. The cops investigate and dick around before laying the charges; the crown half-heartedly starts the prosecution; the defence throws as many monkey wrenches into the process as possible; the administrative staff could really care less; and hizonnurr is only too willing to ditch a case that would prove embarrassing to the Man (okay, stop your giggling) that made him.
