edit: Spelling. They changed it from CSEC to CSE

- dmix 9y agoI'm sorry but I don't understand your question here. Unless you didn't catch the sarcasm of my original comment?
- uiri 9y agoCSE recruits fairly heavily at student-focused CS events in Montreal. Never seen or heard a peep about CSIS.
- singingboyo 9y agoInteresting - I remember seeing CSIS at CS student events in Vancouver, but I don't think I saw CSE.
