🇨🇦 RCMP outsourced forensics and maybe national security too

The RCMP allegedly hired a digital forensics firm secretly controlled by Russians. That is not a thriller plot, that is Ottawa governance in 2026. The same federal machine that lectures Canadians about disinformation, extremism, and cybersecurity somehow could not perform basic due diligence before handing sensitive police work to a firm now under this cloud, as reported.

This is what managerial Canada looks like after years of Trudeau-era decay: endless slogans about protecting democracy, zero competence when the state actually handles critical files. The people running this country are obsessed with policing speech, monitoring lawful citizens, and funding DEI box-checkers, yet they leave the back door open on core security functions. Sovereignty is not a land acknowledgment and a press conference. It means a state capable of protecting its own institutions from foreign leverage and contractor fraud. Instead we get bureaucracy without backbone, and a federal elite too busy performing virtue to notice who is inside the server room.
