The National Defence public affairs branch did not explain why it falsely claimed offensive cyber operations weren’t discussed for security reasons. But critics have pointed out that, over the past year, the Canadian Forces and the department have appeared to slide towards more secrecy even as they advocate for billions of dollars in additional funding.

Oh, so the government is allowed to be offensive on the internet, but when I do it I get downvoted‽ Seems like a double standard!

It sounds like you need to get a job with them and do it in an official capacity. Win-win.

They want to hire people who can make 400k a year in the valley for 18k a year in a hostile work environment with zero benefits and a non-optional fitness plan... and they want these people to be computer nerds? Good luck!
