A recent report from the Communications Security Establishment, Canada’s electronic eavesdropping agency, revealed it conducted cyberattacks to disrupt the online fentanyl supply chain . The report also detailed the agency’s growth; its budget will surpass $2-billion in 2026–27, up from just over $1-billion in 2024–25. The organization is one of the two main spy agencies in Canada and yet it remains relatively unknown to the general public. Steven Chase , the Globe’s senior parliamentary reporter, joins the show to explain what exactly the CSE does and how it fits into Canada’s security landscape. Questions? Comments? Ideas?
