Don't threaten us with a good time. Snowden's leaks unveiled just how shady and corrupt this agreement is.

Also does the US even have an intelligence sector any more? Or have they all been fired and replaced with toe-sucking morons?

Exactly. Do Australia next please!

Can't, sorry, I'm sure the Prime Minister would be removed again by your Governor-General if you tried :/

Don't worry folk, we have more than enough experience at this.

America's intelligence gathering apparatus is essentially the creation of Canada.

the first commandant was Lt. Col. Arthur Terence Roper-Caldbeck.[9] Colonel William "Wild Bill" Donovan, war-time head of the OSS, credited Stephenson with teaching Americans about foreign intelligence gathering.[6] The CIA even named their recruit training facility "The Farm", a nod to the original farm that existed at the Camp X site.[10]

He is best known by his wartime intelligence code name, Intrepid. Many people consider him to be one of the real-life inspirations for James Bond.[1] Ian Fleming himself once wrote, "James Bond is a highly romanticised version of a true spy. The real thing is... William Stephenson."[2]

On some level I’m glad he’s also going after Germany, Denmark, Ukraine etc. At least we’re not alone in this.

Just a report on beyond the scenes chatter from within Trump's inner circle.

Peter Navarro can go fuck himself right in his One Brown Eye

Article seems to have a hard paywall? Even 12ft.io can't bypass it.

Navarro did not respond to requests for comment. After the FT’s article was first published, Navarro denied pushing the idea, which he said was “crazy stuff”. “We would never ever jeopardise our national security . . . with allies like Canada,” Navarro said.

That is a full walkback if it was ever said originally. Doesn't make it time to trust the US on anything, though.

Pirates: on no stop don't.... come back.
