Russia’s coming attack on Canada

My guess is that we will always be chasing our tails on that type of warfare and other cyber attacks. Have we been too complacent for too long, or are we ready to either prevent or respond in kind? If anything positive has come from the Russia/Trump fiasco, it is the stern warning to be on the lookout for anything.

Yes, and, if it might have helped a favorite candidate in some way, be ready to deny any connection.
 
I expect the main difference is the entrenched politicians that maintain their post and have significant influence for decades (ie a McCain or Pelosi). Federally the party in power tends to only stay in power for at most 12 years before the public gets tired of them. Once out of power, the politicians in that party see their influence drop drastically. Leading many to seek other jobs outside of elected office when that occurs. A few try to run for provincial offices, but that tends not to work out well.

So for Canada we churn out our political leaders I believe more often than the US does (outside of Alberta, but when Alberta turns it does so on a massive scale)

That does seem to be an issue in the US. Once elected to Congress, people tend to stay in Washington for a long time. Voters are reluctant to throw the rascals out, as that would involve voting across party lines.
 
It is a long term methodology

The US has practiced it for decades and a prime example is Chile in the late 60's and early 70's.

It is not the act of a desperate nation, but a cost effective method to disrupt/prevent events that the country nation does not want

Good point. It's not necessarily desperate nations, but powerful ones who use disinformation to advantage. Now, given the information age, it's even more powerful than it was when the USA was putting Augusto Pinochet into power in Chile.

I never did understand what Chile did to the USA to deserve such retribution.
 
Russia’s coming attack on Canada

The smear job on Chrystia Freeland is only the start. Why Canada is a logical next target in Moscow’s desperate clandestine war.

I'll also add that Canada has the largest Ukrainian community in the West, and Canada currently has ~200 soldiers in Ukraine training the UA military and UA medics.

When will you begin demanding pogroms to commence?
