@csiscanada The drug agency’s administrator answered that “we’re keeping our eye on Canada,” and said his agency proposes to open two more offices in this country in 2027. Then FBI Director Kash Patel went further. “What we’ve also focused on, at least at the FBI, is working with our Canadian partners on the production capabilities that the drug traffickers have moved up to the north of our border,” he testified. “And we’ve had some success there working with our Canadian partners because the drug traffickers got smart with the securitization of the southern border and moved it up there. So we’re tackling that with our CSIS partners.”
Note what the director of the world’s premier federal police force said, almost in passing. The Canadian partner he named on cartel production migrating north was not the RCMP. It was Canada’s spy service — the same agency whose annual report would not connect an Iranian-tasked cartel bounty to the politician it targeted, and which, characteristically, has declined to confirm to The Bureau whether it is investigating Mexican cartels in Canada at all. The intelligence picture exists, and Canada’s closest ally is describing it under oath in open session. What does not exist is the legal machinery to act on it, the candor to tell Canadians about it, and the political will to build both.
It seems likely that CSIS — with Canadian justice officials now facing death threats, or dying — has a very good understanding of these increasingly lethal threat networks, and no capacity to act on it. The probable reality, if Canada's past is a fair guide, is that classified assessments of this dire convergence are flowing upward to the office of Prime Minister Mark Carney — and that, as a decade of warrant delays, shelved warnings, and commission findings would predict, the only result will be deadly inaction, while Canada's sovereignty and safety erode
@MarcNixon24 So first it's "elbows up", then it's focus blame on uncaring seniors who just got lucky with their home purchases and then justify a tax to get some of that "free" money back.
Never forget that this video still exists and never forget the message. “We the people” tell the government what to do in America 🇺🇸- not the other way around. Our constitution is clear. And so is Ronald Reagan. #fyp#WeThePeople
@CCFR_CCDAF@TWilsonOttawa@CivilAdvantage1@gary_srp We may need a different strategy: convince them (it won't take much) that an orange horde is poised to breach our border. They'll pivot to a Swiss posture, cancel the confiscation, and start buying us all types of CZ stuff.
@CivilAdvantage1 We have replaced the courage of individuals with the comfort of systems. We have built a machinery that punishes conscience & rewards compliance. Not a mystery why each generation of officials seems less capable than the last. The system selects those who feel nothing.
@harryfisherEMTP And institutional systems can never be held to account. Responsibility is diffused over amorphous layers of bureaucracy. People are moral, groups are not. Deepest gratitude for what you do!
@echipiuk You are no doubt familiar with Adams letter to the Mass militia? Is a legal system that repeatedly releases dangerous offenders complicit? They can't plead ignorance of consequence. Their silence is not neutrality it is consent. Where is the moral courage?
