Canada desperately needs a civilian foreign intelligence service, like Estonia's EFIS. Lacking one now, Canadians are hopelessly vulnerable to russian Chekist warfare. Canadians see how russian active measures are tearing apart France and how they already defeated the UK with Brexit and the USA with Trump-for-President. In Canada, we survived the russia-backed Siege of Ottawa and the Alberta referendum by sheer luck. But in this global war we're in, luck won't see us through next time.

Canada is being set up as the fall guy to explain the Republicans' upcoming election losses. We should be prepared for all outcomes, based on a single question: does the U.S. President operate within limits?
The U.S. Embassy in Ottawa has just issued a fact sheet accusing Canadian politicians of trying to influence American politics. It ends with a rather pointed warning: "Americans decide America’s elections."

NEW: The Ford government has broken its own record for ad spending. Internal documents show its advertising bill climbed to more than $117 million last year, according to internal documents — the highest total in a single year in Ontario’s history. A breakdown of how the money was spent in this story by me and @CharliePinkerto: thetrillium.ca/news/governme…
