Licia Corbella: Epidemic of espionage -- Spies cost our economy billions and put Canadian jobs in peril June 19, 2005, Calgary Sun

While CSIS is mandated to investigate economic espionage, it is barred from investigating corporate espionage.

As a result, the 25 foreign governments involved in espionage in Canada, often only have to incorporate a business within Canada to become exempt from official investigation.

China's Ring of Crime -- Chinese Intelligence and Triads Team Up Against America Charles R. Smith, July 31, 2002

In early 2000, six individuals, including a Chinese general, were indicted by a U.S. grand jury, convened in Detroit, for running an illegal smuggling operation. The indictment of Chinese Gen. Zhang (pronounced Fhang) Wei included as evidence videotape taken by a Canadian undercover operative who managed to penetrate the smuggling ring. (See: Inside the Dragon's Den .) [. . . . ]

Ironically, after being indicted in the United States, Chinese Gen. Zhang may have met with Canadian officials, including Immigration Minister Elanor Kaplan, during a briefing in Fujian on how to combat illegal people-smuggling. The briefing included plans for Canadian security and law enforcement operations to combat smuggling.

[. . . . ] "Intelligence indicates that these specific individuals with these three groups: triads, Hong Kong investors and people close to China's leadership, have been identified working in concert with the Chinese government to gain influence through some of their 'financial ventures' in Canada.

U.S. Police and Intelligence Hit by Spy Network -- Spies Tap Police and Government Phones Charles R. Smith, Dec. 19, 2001 --

Note the date: The Canadian connection has been under-investigated--if not unreported--until lately when there has been a little bit. Why had journalists ignored this? Still the MSM are generally supportive of the government in power . . . in power of ruining careers to remain in power . . . and dispensing advertising $$$.

[. . . . ] "The critics also underestimated the incompetence and total ineptness of the people running our intelligence and law enforcement services during the Clinton-Gore years. One guy uses his home computer for storing top secret documents; another high-tech guru guy can't figure out how to save and retrieve his e-mail, and the guy in charge of everything is having phone sex over an open line with one of his employees," said Brown.

[. . . . ] Lisa Dean, vice president for technology policy at Free Congress Foundation, delivered a scathing critique of the breach of the U.S. law enforcement wiretap system.

"We are exercising our 'I told you so' rights on this," said Dean.

I don't know enough to decide whether this is an argument in support of the perils of outsourcing . . . or not; judge for yourself. It is definitely worth reading, but so are the rest of these links.
