Sources tell CBC News Indian officials have not denied the existence of the intelligence in private

The Canadian government has amassed both human and signals intelligence in a months-long investigation of a Sikh activist's death that has inflamed relations with India, sources tell CBC News.

That intelligence includes communications involving Indian officials themselves, including Indian diplomats present in Canada, say Canadian government sources.

The intelligence did not come solely from Canada. Some was provided by an unnamed ally in the Five Eyes intelligence alliance.

for the health of US-Canada relations that unnamed ally better be the US

Considering that Canada didn’t achieve full sovereignty distinct from the UK until the early 80s, I wouldn’t be shocked if the Brits had helped them out on this one. They’re pretty damn good at intel, too.

Well I'm not sure what really can. What the hell did the Indian government think they were doing?

It's Russia levels of shittiness.

Am I the only one who remembers the Israelis going psycho all over the globe murdering Nazis and creating a shitstir everywhere with the Mossad?

Then there's the Saudis, the Cubans, the CIA, really, being murderous cunts is not solely reserved for the Russians, if anything it's just another one of nation state's favorite pastimes.

ngl i dont remember the mossad one, when was that?

They thought the West wouldn't do shit, like we didn't when Putin and Saudi Arabia assassinated people or when Turkey beat up people in DC.

They're right.

It depends entirely on who’s in power. Trump and the GOP love Russia and Saudi Arabia. Trump personally wanted to get into business with both of them. Thats the primary reason nothing happened.

Yeah the UK is also a member of five eyes, it could be the us, uk, Australia or New Zealand

all five spy partners are pretty cooperative when it comes to sharing data. they all want the others to provide to them--so they're all gonna give, too.

[-] TheMadnessKing 1 points 1 year ago

Just give enough to get them by. They don't casually share the entire stuff with their partners.

It could be anyone, that's how FiveEyes works. Your allies spy on you, and give you the intel in a completely deniable way. Technically, you weren't spying on India; technically, you weren't spying on Canadian citizens; technically, you weren't spying on diplomats. It could have been New Zealand, it could have been the US, and that's very naughty of whoever it was, but you'll never know who.

Publicly the US is trying to stay neutral, but I have no doubt that privately they're 100% behind Canada
