Canadian Foreign Interference (General)

Nothing will be done about foreign interference as long as some politicians and parties feel that said interference helps them get/ stay elected. Foreign Agent Registry legislation gained assention in June of 24. Since then it has languished. A Commissioner has not been appointed to administer the Act, an office for the Commissioner has not yet been established. Once a Commissioner is appointed, an office must be established and staff must be hired. The previous liberal government avoided actioning it like the plague and Carney has given no indication he is even aware of the legislation. Pick a Commissioner and set up an office. How hard is that? The answer is that it isn’t hard at all. A consensus of some parties on who should be Commissioner. Allocate some money, which we apparently have bags full in excess, and hire staff. That’s it.

If one distrusts our previous and current government, it wouldn’t be a stretch to believe the government is avoiding implementation of the Registry on purpose.

The US has had a FAR since 1948.
 
Can't find the original post about these guys getting kicked out, so here's the before from a couple of weeks back ....

Would be nice if we could us our large diaspora population to give us some intel on our adversaries.


The history of CSIS would be fascinating, even after redactions. The early days were dominated by the RCMP cowboys who formed the nucleus of the service, followed by the professionalization of the intelligence function.

Heck, you could probably have a full volume on Jack.

 
I’m hoping!
The idealist in me likes to think SOMEONE in Big Int is tapping a ton of expat resource in the country in a way that would make Canada a niche but valuable player in the 5 Eyes - not massive, but "ya know, they seem to always be ahead of the game in this area."

I know, dare to dream ....
