::"The sources are published by the Crown...this article is about the Crown". Looking at the first three sentences, we have references from Colin Robertson (former diplomat and "senior research fellow at the Canadian Defence and Foreign Affairs Institute and distinguished senior fellow at the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs at Carleton University"), Dr. D. Michael Jackson (published academic in English, French, and Canadian Studies), Arthur Bousfield (published historian), and Garry Toffoli (published political scientist), as well as official sources. In addition, IRPP is a refereed and peer-reviewed source ("All of the research published by the Institute is subject to rigorous internal and external peer review for its policy relevance, academic soundness and accessibility").  

 ::Thus, this unfounded assumption that none of the sources are "reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy") is clearly false.
