After a series of appearances on podcasts and media programs in recent weeks highlighting systemic abuse and failures in one of Canada’s protection agencies, a former government whistleblower has decided to stop talking about his experience publicly after an insider advised him to resume a low profile for his own safety.

From interfering in immigration processing to associating with a known drug trafficker, Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) employees were embroiled in hundreds of misconduct cases last year, according to a new report.
The CBSA’s first annual misconduct and wrongdoing report, published Thursday, covers investigations between April 1, 2024, to March 31, 2025.
The border agency said it closed 364 investigations during the 2024-25 fiscal year, and 71 per cent of them were founded. It marks a slight dip from the year before when there were 319 founded allegations and up from 2022-23 which saw 238 founded cases.

Luc Sabourin, a former CBSA officer, chokes back tears as he recalls the day a man from one of Canada’s most violent crime families — a refugee from Palestine linked to Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel — stood outside Sabourin’s home in Gatineau, Que., and uttered brutal and visceral threats against Sabourin’s children.
Sabourin — a whistleblower who has complained of numerous serious incidents inside Canada Border Services Agency that he believes are due to organized crime infiltration — thinks a particular colleague may have leaked his home address to the drug trafficker, whom Sabourin was scheduled to testify against.
I would not be surprised.
