In its annual report for last year, CSIS linked the jump in foreign spying to the increasing number of people working from home because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Foreign threat actors — including hostile intelligence services and those working on their behalf — have sought to exploit the social and economic conditions created by the pandemic” to gather valuable information, it said.Article contentThe head of CSIS said in February that China posed a serious strategic threat, while the signals intelligence agency last November identified state-sponsored programs in China, Russia, Iran and North Korea as cyber crime threats for the first time.
“In 2020, CSIS observed espionage and foreign interference activity at levels not seen since the Cold War,” CSIS said. “China, Russia, and other foreign states continued to covertly gather political, economic, and military information in Canada through targeted threat activities in support of their own state development goals.”
Shhhh! It's politically insensitive to say who's spying on us, they might 'feel' threatened or offended and you know that could lead the Liberals to pay them Reparations. RexMurphy47 diana_murphy613 Conservatives
I love how many people are blaming the actions of hostile nations on trudeau, as though he holds any influence over those countries and as if this has nothing to do with broader strategic relationships. We get it, you dont like JT, but you're not helping.
Seems obvious. China and Russia see Trudeau and think, “well there’s a useful idiot. We should take advantage of that.”
