14. Actually, I'm pretty sure that funding source was shut down by CSIS.

IIRC, whoever was running the front company was prosecuted. (The funding turned out to be Russian, naturally). Of course, Southern and Kirk et al. got away with it, but I know Southern was compelled to testify (the footage was on YouTube). I'm not sure if Kirk testified, but at the very least, he had to hire a very expensive national-security law firm--almost certainly one in Canada. Then there are the travel costs, etc. I know Kirk has his sugar daddy funding him, but at least they were forced to waste a bunch of money on a legal case they could have easily avoided. As I said, anyone older than a kindergartener should have seen it coming a mile away.
