The announcement, however, comes at a time when the government is increasingly facing questions about its secretive approach to cyber operations, cyber protections, and what duty of transparency about the country’s threat level is owed to Canadians who could bear the frontline impact of any critical infrastructure attacks.
It is a broad term that encompasses the ever-shifting nature of national security, particularly in light of the increased focus on cyberattacks and ransomware targeting critical infrastructure by actors like Russia and China, or proxies working in alignment with them.Russia is frequently cited as one of the major attackers in the cyber sphere, most recently in the context of the invasion of Ukraine and Russian attacks on both Global Affairs Canada and Ukrainian government institutions.
If passed, the legislation would let the federal cabinet “direct any designated operator or class of operators to comply with any measure set out in the direction for the purpose of protecting a critical cyber system.”
What do you expect from Chairman Trudao?
So what? Cyber security is the 1 issue. We need to keep our capabilities and our weaknesses secret. Newsflash, it's not a safe cyber space. Russians, N. Koreans, Chinese, Saudis, well just about every country is trying to hack critical systems. Let our people do their work.
Should you be reporting on this if you’re affected by it?
Increasingly facing questions about a lot of the secretive shit they're doing. Glad to see that after 7 years of incompetence, people are finally looking for answers.
They just don't give up on stripping Canadians of their privacy and freedoms. Time to eject the Liberals for a better Canada TrudeauTheTyrant TrudeauIsDestroyingCanada TrudeauFailedCanada
Its not the Government's role to be involved in media policing. Thats the exact opposite of a healthy democracy. This is about controlling what you think, not protecting you from 'disinformation'.
