    This is great news for Canadians, meaning they’ll be free from dragnet surveilance, as the five eyes monitoring system relies on other countries to spy on their citizens for them as a legal loophole.

    Way to go trump, keep going, dismantle the five eyes entirely.

      But useful idiots kept warning about China spying on me through Huawei without evidence.

      Huh? The other 4 can still spy on Canadians. They just won’t share the info with Canada.

          They can and will be prosecuted through legal means. As for illegal means, if it’s a big enough deal you can bet the other 4 countries will accidentally leak the info.

            Yeah I dunno how anyone thinks this is a good thing. I mean, the destruction of the alliance wouldn’t be bad, but removing Canada from an existing one is just declaring info war.

            This phrase is way overused, for good reason, but I’ll use it again: I fucking hate this timeline.
