Hello, it’s me, your Canadian spy. Please let me back in.
Either that, or we're the only ones who are GOOD at it.
Our spooks are so good even our own government doesn't know they exist!
Sounds like a Murdoch Mysteries plot. Terence Myers establishes a top secret spy org financed through the Maple Syrup Reserve...
I think your title meant to say, "Canada is the only G7 countries without a foreign intelligence agency."
It has a "foreign" intelligence agency, as in it's intelligence agency is foreign. Makes sense to me
Also: Country?
Or "Canada is the only one of the G7 countries... "
Does CSIS not exist anymore?
The way I understand CSIS is it's more focused on tracking online actions, akin to chats plotting terrorism. I dont think they focus on actual bodies in other countries or tracking other country activities.
Yeah, from what I've gathered from previous articles on the topic, CSIS does not have boots-on-the-ground spies, foreign assets, or the infrastructure to support them.
Huh Til... sounds like many other agencies that are there in spirit... but semi gutted and underfunded in reality.
They've been around since 1984 and they used to do much more than just online stuff.
The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS, SCRS) is a foreign intelligence service and security agency of the federal government of Canada. It is responsible for gathering, processing, and analyzing national security information from around the world and conducting covert action within Canada and abroad. The CSIS has no law enforcement function and mainly focuses on intelligence gathering overseas.
I've had family work there, but obviously they never talked about it much so maybe I just misunderstood what they were doing exactly.
I hear it’s pretty easy these days, you just gotta ask to join the group chat and then you’ll be in the loop and stuff. Just gotta remember to ask about new secret activities because they like to have a new group chat sometimes eg “hey are you guys planning any covert black ops atm be sweet if you could add me to the chat” and they’ll be like “sure are you still on the same number” and there you go
Oh wow really? I thought you guys had one the entire time.
I feel like there's a meme to be made on this...
