The Gouzenko Affair September 5, 1945: Soviet cipher clerk left the Soviet embassy in Ottawa He was carrying over 100 top-secret documents (revealing that some Canadian officials were passing secret information to Soviets)

Igor Gouzenko claimed that Soviets were trying to gathering information About political activities, troop movements, and scientific developments (especially secrets relating to building atomic bombs) He was questioned by the RCMP Sceptical of his story at first Then his apartment was ransacked Soviets wanted to capture him and the secrets he carried

Gouzenko and his family were taken into protective custody Mackenzie King alerted Harry Truman (U.S) and Clement Atlee (Britain)to the affair Canadians questioned “...why spy on Canada?”

Why Canada? Reasoning: Canada underestimated its growing importance on the international stage Contributed scientific expertise Contributed uranium for atomic bomb project Canada had close ties with Britain and the U.S. Significance: Produced proof that the USSR had been spying in Canada, and was intent on developing an atomic bomb
