My father, George C. Kane, during the Second World War was with the Canadian security forces. He was behind enemy forces a number of times. He was also part of a team that captured a Spy in Nova Scotia before he went overseas.
When I was on the Ashburn golf course one time I asked him: "What did you do in the war Dad?" He responded by saying, as he walked off to his next shot that; "I was in the security forces in WW II and in WW I the Halifax Explosion was not an accident."
I worked with the National Museums of Canada, developing and obtaining information (from the National Archives of Canada) for their "Discovery Train Museum".
During that research time, I came across files that indicated what he had told me could be true. Since then, I have obtained numerous files that indicate espionage activities all across Canada, and through United States.
