“I imagine the Chinese do a better job at spying on Canadians than the Canadians do”

My friend Paul, a Canadian, in response to the recent NSA events:

“[The stories] made me wonder what the Canadian spy agency does.  This is one of the stories that came up first:

‘There are reports Canada’s spy agency is appealing for the return of a top-secret document stolen from an agent’s car parked outside a hockey arena in downtown Toronto. The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) document was taken by some drug addicts last month, according to police.

It was inside a briefcase in the back seat of a vehicle, parked outside the Air Canada Centre, where the Toronto Maple Leafs now play their home games. Police say the thieves were caught a few days later. They had been looking for money and credit cars.

But the briefcase is still missing — leaving a worrisome spy case for CSIS. The thieves said they tossed the case in a garbage dumpster, which has since been emptied. The document outlines intelligence operations planned for the next year. CSIS considers it the most serious internal security breach in the agency’s 15-year history.’

I imagine the Chinese do a better job at spying on Canadians than the Canadians do.”
