You may not be aware, but Canada does have a sophisticated organization dedicated to electronic security: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communications_Securi

  I'm Canadian and am well aware of CSE's existence. Do you think a Wiki article can capture the staggering incompetence that's endemic within the Canadian public sector?

    And you’re holding up the US public sector as your shining city on a hill? Canada is leading the world in procuring the vaccine, and has had a very well-considered response to the pandemic. How long did it take for CERB cheques to arrive? Days? Look at the cluster that was the US response, even at the basic “get money in people’s hands” level. Getting back to the original point - I’m sure there are a dozen or more countries with the capability to pull off something this sophisticated, which would include Canada. Highly unlikely that it was us, obviously.

      >And you’re holding up the US public sector as your shining city on a hill? Certainly not. I'm only holding the US's cybersecurity complex as a shining city on the hill. Our government is so inept that I very much doubt CSE has the funding it needs or the ability to hire skilled people. Happy to be proven wrong. >Canada is leading the world in procuring the vaccine Because we don't have any domestic production capacity due to decades of federal mismanagement. The same mismanagement that bought us used, obsolete fighter jets and submarines that catch fire at the slightest provocation. We lead the world in procuring those items too.
