We have a separatist movement in Alberta, that is fueled by a sycophantic and borderline treasonous Premier and UCP, multiple NGOs and special interest groups some of whom have already been fined for hiding their funding, and a think tank that gets more than 10% of their reported and direct funding from the US (ignoring funding that comes from the US but goes through one hop in Canada, thus legitimizing it).

Is it too much to ask that someone do some fucking investigation? Dig in and make sure the funding is all legitimate before we give up our whole country to a demonstrated enemy whose main mode of attack is division, propaganda and disinformation??

    Do you know what the word primarily means? Because they aren’t primarily domestic, like you claim. They are primarily foreign, and they wouldn’t interject into an oil sands and government issue. Which is what my article was about, if you read it.

    They do operate domestically, I never claimed they didn’t dude.

      The CSIS mandate and reporting show that most operational activity is anchored in Canada and supported by extensive foreign liaison and collection abroad. CSIS has a large global network of partners and some officers posted overseas, yet these are primarily (since you’re enamoured with that word) used to support investigations into threats to Canada rather than to run a separate, large, outward‑facing program comparable to a dedicated foreign intelligence service.

        Jesus Christ dude, that has nothing to do with my comment.

        What the hell is wrong with you? Just want to bitch instead of understanding what people are conversing about.
