Canadians lining up to join spy agency

[X-mo-1979]

"Or maybe it's stronger recruiting efforts by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), including outreach in ethnic communities."

Do anyone remember Scotland yard a couple weeks ago or is it just me?
I wonder how many are sitting in CSIS right now.

I didn't ask how it stacked up, I wanted to know if it was the same thing as the CIA, because I like the idea of working with them.

  Ok, whatever, I don't want a pissing contest. Good luck with what you decide to do.

  To be honest X-mo, I think that's racist and uncalled for. Don't equate religious fanaticism with race.

It is not. CSIS could more accurately be compared to Britain's Security Service (MI5).

A fine line you just drew there.  Seems it is you who pulled out the "Race Card".  I sure hope that is not your normal MO where you work.  

I think X-mo-1979 made a valid point and one that may be a very serious Security Concern.  If you don't think so, perhaps you have some reason not to that we should hear about.

Now you went and really confused him.

Definitely not a race thing. But you can't just hire any foreigner.  Also does the CSIS work with the ASIO? and what US organization do they work with?, oh and not really George I saw the MI5 as i read on the site about the CSIS working with Britain, Australia, and the US, and that all organizations exchange info.

       He used the quote stating that CSIS was recruiting people of different ethnicity and immediately drew the connection to a terrorist incident, which I find offensive. If you call pointing out what I believe to be an inappropriate comment "pulling the race card" then so be it.

So you like to sit in a car full of empty coffee cups, sipping Timmies and eating Timbits, as you watch a suspects residence, waiting for him/her/them to go for a ride so that you can try and tail them to Walmart and back without being seen, or count down the seconds until your relief arrives?

LMAO, I said work with them, not like them.

more like MI5 (or what ever the Brits call it now)

I should have read the whole thread before responding  : ushup:

for Future_Soldier have you looked at this?

 

[medaid]

Ah... You said you have done research Future_Soldier... but have you? Doesn't look like you've done a bloody thing, because if you have you'll know that there are SEVERAL different jobs in CSIS and they ALL deal with different things. Most if not all require formal training or a degree, the ability to pass polygraph and obtain and MAINTAIN a TS clearance. The only job I can think of off the top of my head is the job that George spoke about. Just because the agency works with other units, TFs, countries' intelligence and enforcement organizations, it does not mean YOU do. They are VERY picky about who they send to do their liason work, and as they should be.

If you actually want to pick something and STICK to it now, go and speak to the Service's HR Reps at recruiting fairs all OVER the country. They will be able to dispell the myths and answer questions you may have. Just remember though... Watch what you say and ask intelligent questions. Those HOUR reps have really good memories, and the agents have better ones.

Benny... Please, x-mo's comments are valid, it had no "ethnic" or "racial" undertones as I see it. Give it a rest...
