Peter Navarro wants to increase pressure on country that Donald Trump has threatened to annex
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.
Oh, no!

But useful idiots kept warning about China spying on me through Huawei without evidence.
Don't make the mistake to think that reliance on China is not a security threat. It might not impact privacy, but at least from what I heard here, big network operators are unable to maintain their networks without support from the hardware vendors, and not just in the sense that they need updates, patches etc, but that the OEMs rather do everything and the providers just slap their label on it.
Now us has trump spying on them for russia
The US should be axed from the alliance at this point, honestly. No intel shared with us can be trusted to be secret, even to our 'enemies'.
I wouldn't be surprised if filters are in place for sharing Intel
Lmao. Yes. By all means dismantle the giant multinational CIA of the west.
Great idea. Fantastic. Love to see it.
It’s what Putin commands of his asset Trump.
If what's good for Putin is also good for the people then I don't give a shit that it's good for Putin.
First, US wanted UK out of five eyes. Now Canada. Pretty soon, it'll be one eye.
yep, the united states is the brown eye of the world
Best thing Trump's ever done, if his team can do it.
Five eyes is why your government legally has real time data on everything you're doing regardless of local privacy laws.
Exactly.
They're not spying on their own citizens, that would be illegal. They're simply allowing other countries to spy on you (legal) and then they "share" data with each other.
The net result is every FVEY agency doing an end run around laws that exist to prevent government intelligence from spying on its own citizens.
Add in data brokers who buy all your data stolen by Facebook and Google and re-package it for sale and Big Brother can have all of the data that they would get from spying on you without being bothered by silly laws that prevent them from spying on you (they didn't, the UK did).
I could have sworn I saw UK too, but can't find it anymore.
It was in response to the UK trying to get Apple to put a back door in their advanced encryption for all Apple customers, not just UK citizens.
Something tells me that an intelligence community alliance between the U.S., the U.K., and three former United Kingdom colonies could well do without the United States, just sayin'.
Australia as well please, get us out of this stupid security pact
I’m starting to think this Trump character isn’t on the up-and-up.
If they're going loose an eye, it seems likely it'll be the orange one.
WHAT?? YES!!!
Gotta make room for Russia huh?
