Foreign enemies 'increasingly targeting Canada,' Privy Council warns new minister
Memo says interference beyond the electoral cycle will require 'focused attention'
· CBC News · Posted: Feb 02, 2020 4:00 AM ET
A briefing memo submitted to President of the Privy Council Dominic Leblanc warns that Canada remains a target for foreign electoral interference. (Jim Urquhart/Reuters)
The 2019 election might be long over, but Canada is "increasingly" a target for foreign interference, warns a briefing note prepared for President of the Privy Council Dominic Leblanc.
The heavily redacted package of briefing notes, drafted for the New Brunswick MP around the time of his swearing-in last November, also points to potential "gaps" in the way Canada responded to the fall election.
As part of his new job at the cabinet table, Leblanc is responsible for supporting Canada's democratic institutions — a role that had its own ministry last session.
While the briefing document is filled with bureaucratic jargon, the warning jumps off the page.
"Foreign adversaries and competitors are increasingly targeting Canada in order to advance their own economic and national security interests," says the 150-page briefing binder, obtained through access to information.
"Canada, like the majority of Western democracies, is a target of foreign state efforts to interfere with or damage our democratic processes (cyber and non cyber)."
"It suggests that there may be some metrics by which they're measuring these things to suggest that, in fact, there's more attacks in new ways, perhaps even novel attacks that we're seeing. So that is something that jumps out to me in this report."
The redacted briefing note doesn't name the foreign adversaries.
In the lead-up to the Oct. 21 election, sources told CBC News that Canada's intelligence services were carefully monitoring attempts by six countries — China, India, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Venezuela — to influence the federal election. Top Canadian officials also were warned last year that China and India could try to use their links to diaspora communities in Canada to advance their own agendas.
Traditional spying still 'the greatest danger': CSIS
Carvin said those countries are likely still on the list of engaged adversaries, along with Russia and other states in the Middle East.
"Really, there's a range of interests that foreign actors are interested in. They're interested in targeting our energy sector, oil and gas. They're also interested in just discrediting our democracy and democratic processes," she said.
"In some ways, [they want to] just whip up anger and dissent about a number of issues to get Canadians angry at each other."

John Townsend, a spokesperson for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, said that over the years CSIS has seen multiple instances of foreign states targeting specific communities in Canada through human intelligence operations, the use of state-sponsored or foreign-influenced media and cyberattacks.
"Traditional interference by foreign espionage remains the greatest danger, but interference using cyber means continues to be a growing concern," he said in an email to CBC.
In 2018, CSIS Director David Vigneault gave a speech to the Economic Club of Canada pointing out that the scale, speed, range and impact of foreign interference has grown as a result of the internet.
'Gaps' in election response
In an attempt to prevent foreign meddling, the federal government set up an internal team — the "critical election incident public protocol panel" — to publicly sound the alarm if it saw evidence the October federal election was being undermined. It never did.
In the days immediately after the federal election, government officials said they did detect attempts to spread misinformation and disinformation during the election campaign — but not at a level high enough to trigger a public warning.
Ottawa also set up a special task force, known as SITE, which brought together Canada's national security and intelligence agencies: CSIS, the Communications Security Establishment and the RCMP.
The briefing binder mentions "remaining gaps" in the way Canada responded to the election, but the examples were blacked out in the redacted pages.
A declassifed report is expected in the coming months.
The briefing package told LeBlanc that, given the pressing timeline of the campaign, most of the government's pre-election pro-democracy initiatives focused exclusively on the election itself, "leaving broader issues of countering interference in Canada's democratic institutions — i.e. public servants and government, politicians and political parties, media, the judiciary and others — aside.
"Interference in democratic institutions beyond the electoral cycle will require focused attention."
A spokesperson for CSE, Canada's foreign signal intelligence agency, said threats continue to change over time.
"Traditional hostile foreign threats have been persistent over the years, but they are now taking advantage of evolutions in technology," said Evan Koronewski.
"However, as these threats evolve, so do our abilities to detect them and take preventative action."
Disinformation should still be a source of concern, says the government memo, but fact-checking and traditional journalism have been helpful so far in debunking and correcting misinformation.
"While these efforts have been sufficient up to this point, a more fractured and divided Canada could make countering misinformation and disinformation more difficult."
"I think Canadians should always be concerned," said Carvin. "What we've seen in the past, say in 2016, is not what we saw in 2019. It might not be what we see in the future. Canada isn't immune to these trends."
LeBlanc was not available for an interview.
"We will continue to be vigilant in combatting any threat. Ensuring the security of our democratic processes is a priority for our government," said a spokesperson for his office.

Xenophon
Words of Socrates as quoted by Xenophon
"It is the example of the rider who wishes to become an expert horseman: "None of your soft-mouthed, docile animals for me," he says; "the horse for me to own must show some spirit" in the belief, no doubt, if he can manage such an animal, it will be easy enough to deal with every other horse besides. And that is just my case. I wish to deal with human beings, to associate with man in general; hence my choice of wife. I know full well, if I can tolerate her spirit, I can with ease attach myself to every human being else. "
He was tried and the mode of execution was by drinking poisonous hemlock. It wasn't suicide, but he was his own executioner I suppose, and chose to be his own executioner.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_of_Socrates
"Contemporaries differ in their account of how Socrates supported himself as a philosopher. Both Xenophon and Aristophanes state Socrates received payment for teaching, while Plato writes Socrates explicitly denied accepting payment, citing his poverty as proof.
Socrates married Xanthippe, a younger woman, who bore him three sons: Lamprocles, Sophroniscus and Menexenus. There is little known about her except for Xenophon's characterization of Xanthippe as "undesirable."
He writes she was not happy with Socrates's second profession and complained that he wasn’t supporting family as a philosopher. By his own words, Socrates had little to do with his sons' upbringing and expressed far more interest in the intellectual development of Athens' other young boys."

Foreign interference?
A foreign citizen -- who volunteered for the military draft of a foreign nation, who never made the least effort to serve in the Canadian military at any level, who never even held a real job in Canada, who campaigned and voted for a foreign political party in foreign elections all his life -- is still the leader of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition.

Reply to @Bart
Roberts: He was ashamed, and he should not have been. The fact that he
was willing to forfeit his US dual citizenship showed a defect of
character, imo. But he doesn't understand the US very well, it seems. He
should not have let that stop him from seeing that his dual citizenship
should impose no limitations on his service to the Canadian people, and
he could have said so, to make that clear, rather than seeing it as an
impediment.
But the entire conservative party is in a dubious position re their loyalties to US policy and not being able to think outside of that box. They join US think tanks and other such things.
But what if he spoke against some sacrosanct US policy and then went there and was arrested under their law? So that is complicated and immunity should be a foregone conclusion. If he approved the departure of Meng, would he be liable under their law? So he couldn't go to the states? Dual citizenship for a PM has potential complications.
There are some complications, but the conservatives have even less chance of disagreeing with their ideological obligations, so they may be vouchsafed by their accordance.

Canada is also "increasingly" a target of internal interference!!!
Trudeau shipped bundles of tax dollars to Media that promoted his views.....hardly a 'free press'
And spent boat loads of tax dollars in legal fights (that he lost) trying to ban or bar Media that gave a better perspective of what he was really doing
And the CBC writes a lovely story getting Canadians to focus their concerns anywhere but where it should be....On the crazy new media legislation JT is trying to push through

The Fake News that this article warns Canadians about creating division among Canadians is here.
Note that Canada's PM is not in Africa, not giving away Canadian dollars looking for friends.
See the Iteneray of the Canadian PM where he has had business in Ottawa on the 30,31 of January, as well as the 1,2,& 3rd of February in Ottawa as well.
https://pm.gc.ca/en/news/itineraries
Canada's PM does have three trips on the itenerary for the month of February, with visits in Ethiopia, Senegal, & Germany. Prime Minister Trudeau will meet with Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and President Sahle-Work Zewde. Prime Minister Trudeau will meet with President Macky Sall. Prime Minister Trudeau will attend the Munich Security Conference.
https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/prime-minister-to-travel-to-ethiopia-senegal-and-germany-834311899.html
If Canadians want Trade, Climate Change, Security, as well as democracy, gender equality, as well as peace & investment these are the outreach necessary at the foreign statesmen level that is required.
To foreign agents seeking divisiveness in Canada & Canadians that might be spun into the nonsense, "Trudeau is off to Africa with a plane load of Canadian dollars looking for friends "...without the actual planeload of Canadian Dollars, or the known understanding that Canada's trade & security as well as the Worlds peace starts with relationships.
Please, however show us the photo's of this plane full of cash alleged to foment emotional hysteria...Inquiring minds want to know?
Without that Fake News insertion all that is true is that our PM will be off for a trade delegation to Ethiopia, a Francophonie session in Senegal, and a Security conference in Germany. Hmm normal Canadian PM stuff!

The list of Nations were for those reading & comprehending:
"China, India, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Venezuela, as well as Russia, and other 'Middle East nations' "
The allegation was that our PM had a close relationship with those nations?
The truth appears to be very distant from those allegations, other than cordial personal meeting with Modhi, our PM 'close relationship with these nations just simply doesn't exist beyond the statesmen level, and that likely applies to India as well.
As for allegation number two, "He actually said he admires their dictatorships."
That was a quote, that in context was a sarcastic phrase that the Conservatives & Sun Media(right-wing media) would say, and that they did without the bits that allowed the viewer/reader,listener to have the full context.

It is a fact that c b c collects $1.7 billion each year ( $4.66 million per day ) from hard working taxpayers to promote its Liberal agenda.
It does so, even though the Broadcasting Act, which was updated in September, 2018, specifically states in Section 3(l)(i) that broadcasters are required to provide a balance of information and in Section 3(l)(iv) that the CBC must provide a reasonable opportunity for the Canadian public to be exposed to differing views on matters of public concern. CBC is clearly operating outside its mandate by campaigning for the Liberals.
