  • I think something everyone forgets is, if we had human based foreign intelligence services, if they were good at their jobs, we would never know.

    We also have multiple agencies, not just CSIS that conducts intelligence operations. CSE and CFINTCOM come to mind, as well as others. In fact, CFINTCOM specifically calls this out on their Canada.ca page; "strategic, operational and tactical human intelligence resources"

    Edit: Just found this job posting

  • Facebook is being flooded with deepfake news reports about Mark Carney

    At this point, if my own mother posted a Happy Birthday message to me on Facebook, I would want to double check my birth certificate to verify it.

  • I had the same issue. I finally told my family if being in contact with me is important to them, they needed to be willing to use another tool.

    I posted a message saying it was being deleted and provided alternative contact methods. Bumped it a couple of times and deleted it.

    The end result is i found out who really cared about me, and i have fewer toxic people in my life.

  • Ask them if they are offended that Cyprus is in the EU, even though it's in Asia. Or ask if it's OK that Turkey may be joining.

    Some people just like to argue, and if they are really butthurt "because the name", then they probably aren't worth debating the point. It's a name that already encompasses countries that are not in Europe.

  • Sure, but the counter argument to that is Europe has lots of people, and Canada has lots of space. We could do something with all the empty space we have, and build industry. We would have a potential ready supply of workers to build the infrastructure we would need to settle some of the empty space and build industry, that could then export goods back to the EU.

    We have lots of to offer the EU.

  • It was someone in the EU that pointed out that the requirement to be European doesn't have a strict definition. Cyprus is a member, but not in Europe because it was found to be 'European in culture'. Turkey is in Asia and is currently negotiating entry. I believe there are others as well, not in Europe.

    Geographically speaking, we share a close sea border with France and a land border with Denmark, the latter even if only technically.

    Politically, while the UK is no longer a part of the EU, it gives us much closer ties to Europe. Our Monarch is European. We have close ties to the UK in our system of government. Culturally, we are very aligned with Europe in general.
