What these papers reveal is that the state and police force are collaborating with private security contractors from the oil industry to suppress groups that work to represent regular Canadians and their concerns about the environment,

There are hundreds of intelligence reports on people and groups who were apparently opposed to this pipeline,
A Canadian Security Intelligence Service assessment highlights a renewed sense of indignation among protesters and clearly indicates the spy service’s ongoing interest in anti-petroleum activism.

Na'moks, a Wet'suwet'en hereditary chief who opposes construction of the Coastal GasLink pipeline in northern British Columbia, is glad CSIS backed off from the terrorist label.
But he worries that by branding elements of First Nations rights movements as "extremist," CSIS leaves the door open to continued surveillance.
"We know we've been under constant surveillance for decades," said Na'moks, whose English name is John Ridsdale.
I don't know which rock you live under, but this has been going on for decades.
Useful to whom? I'm sure the oil execs find their work useful.
You keep thinking whatever you want, I'm sure that boot tastes great!
I'm sure all the people who had all their families get a visit at their house from CSIS agents because they ran protests against the Vancouver Olympics and all the first Nation folks who fought against pipelines on their land have a stronger sense of what the reality actual is.
You're getting downvoted by blind patriotism, but you aren't wrong.
conducting covert action within Canada and abroad.[3] CSIS reports to the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness
CSIS is primarily domestic. It's its raison d'être. It was created after the McDonald Commission into the crimes and illicit actions committed by the RCMP against the independent movement in Quebec. CSE is more foreign oriented.
Absolutely. Simply use ACME with the DNS validation method. Using bind you'll want to create keys and allow TXT access for those keys to the validation domains. Fear not, this isn't exclusive to bind, ACME tools supports dozens of other backends. That's all you need the actual domain doesn't need to be resolvable with an A/CNAME record. Internally you can run an entirely different DNS server to resolve your hosts, use hosts files, or use bind zones.
Except it isn't. Saying it is trivial is just gross generalization. It's trivial to configure bind to have internal zones that aren't resolvable publically. It all depends on configuration, such as reverse ns entries, zone accessibility, etc.
You can have (sub)domains that are listed in the certificate lists and yet aren't resolvable externally as well.
It'd be better and more accurate say the list of certificates then.
Sub domains aren't public unless your DNS server has XFER on.
Worth noting about this approach is that the global list of subdomains is publicly searchable.
Can you expand on this? What is it that you call the "global list of subdomains"?

On Tuesday, 52-year-old Grenier traveled from Aruba, an island off the coast of Venezuela, to Canada’s Montreal airport.
Law enforcement officers of the Sûreté du Québec (SQ – Quebec Provincial Police) escorted Grenier to the SQ police station in Shawinigan. Police had carried out an operation in February 2024 which targeted Grenier and several individuals linked to the current prosecution. Grenier, who was outside Canada at the time, avoided arrest and remained at large for more than a year.
Court Hears Allegations Concerning Signal Theft and Pirate IPTV
The warrant for Grenier’s arrest was issued as part of an investigation into the illegal acquisition and sale of TV channels distributed by Canada’s leading telecoms companies. Bell, Rogers, and Quebecor claimed their losses ran to several million Canadian dollars.
Grenier appeared at the Trois-Rivières courthouse on Wednesday. The prosecution alleges that devices supplied by Grenier provided customers with access to thousands of television channels, most if not all pirated, for a low subscription price of ~CAD$25.00 per month (US$18.00).
The authorities accuse Grenier of operating a company which in turn owned pirate IPTV service Arubox TV. As per our 2023 report, Grenier made no secret of his involvement in the IPTV market.
Grenier Advertising IPTV Boxes
Police say that Arubox TV and a linked service called Stocker IPTV provided thousands of customers, 7,000 in Quebec alone, with illegal access to more than 3,500 pirated TV channels.
Grenier faces ten charges linked to the theft of telecommunications services, including conspiracy, fraud, theft, and money laundering. The alleged offenses took place between June 2020 and February 2024, generating annual profits of at least CAD$2 million (US$14m) according to Sûreté du Québec estimates.
• Conspiracy to defraud Bell, Rogers and Quebecor • Theft of telecommunications services • Production of devices linked to illegal signal access • Trafficking in devices linked to illegal signal access • Sale of devices linked to illegal signal access • Trafficking in property obtained by crime • Theft of more than CAD$5,000 • Laundering proceeds of crime • Transfer of money linked to crime in Canada with intent to conceal/convert • Computer data ‘mischief’
Other charges concern alleged trafficking in the prescription drugs Sildenfil and Tadalafil.
Seven Co-Defendants
Grenier will remain in custody until his next court appearance. The prosecution argued against Grenier’s release and insisted that he should face trial by jury, rather than by judge alone. Grenier’s co-defendants, several of whom previously appeared in court following their arrests in 2024, have already opted for a trial by jury.
A total of seven people stand accused of various crimes in the same case.
Le Nouvelliste identifies the co-defendants as follows:
• Danick Rouleau, 39, of Saint-Eustache (alleged Stocker IPTV operator) • Sarah-Maude Grenier, 25, of Brownsburg-Chatham • Marie-Ève Poliquin Karaguioules, 26, of Saint-Eustache • Éric Laforge, 44, of Gatineau • Daniel Perreault-Marcotte, 38, of Saint-Henri • Patrick Cyr, 49, of Longueuil • Christian Sabourin, 60, of Princeville
Are Customers at Risk of Prosecution?
While police have offered assurances that customers are not targets in the current criminal investigation, possession of a pirate device could be a criminal offense in its own right. Police are therefore advising affected customers to dispose of their pirate devices at recycling centers.
Pirate subscriptions make legal devices illegal
The IPTV services in question are known to have been installed on relative expensive Formuler set-top boxes. When fresh out of their packaging, these Android-based devices are perfectly legal; only the subsequent configuration for piracy purposes changes that.
A full and properly executed factory reset will remove the offending configuration, help the environment, and via legal apps installed from Google Play, provide access to legal streaming services.

Press X for doubt.... butif he truly doesn't need the money and you provide for all his wants, you should tell him to put it in a 401k/RRSP/Whatever investment vehicle is available in your country, use the opportunity to teach him about compound interest and make sure he's set for retirement. It's crazy how little you need to invest if you do it that early.
