🇨🇦 Canada urged to keep ‘eyes wide open’ on espionage

So now they suddenly discovered espionage is real. Brilliant. A new study says Canada should consider starting a foreign spy service, which is a tidy little admission that the political class spent years sleepwalking through sovereignty while obsessing over approved domestic narratives. We get lectures about disinformation, but when it comes to actual statecraft, borderless elites somehow forgot a country is supposed to defend its own interests. As reported, espionage is deadly serious and generally misunderstood. No kidding.

The real scandal is not that Canada lacks some glamorous spy brand. It is that politicians had their eyes wide shut while foreign influence, global pressure, and managerial complacency turned national security into a slogan. Ottawa loves performative virtue, endless bureaucracy, and moral posturing abroad, but basic sovereign capacity apparently needs a study to be taken seriously. That is the Trudeau-era template in one frame: theatrical governance, strategic weakness, and a ruling class always last to notice the world is not a graduate seminar.
