Canada's top cybersecurity agency has named China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea's state-sponsored cyber activity as posing the 'greatest strategic threats' to Canada's critical infrastructure, intellectual property, and political events like elections.

Scott Jones, head of the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security and CSE deputy chief of IT security looks on during an announcement on the National Cyber Security Strategy on Parliament Hill, in Ottawa on Tuesday, June 12, 2018.

“The key findings of this report from the Cyber Centre are a timely reminder not to let our guard down,” said National Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan in the foreword of the report. The report is an update to the 2018 version, and offers forecasts on the threat environment through to 2022. The agency cautions that the threat assessment does not include an exhaustive list of activity, but is based on classified and unclassified sources available up to Oct. 20.

One specific area the report delves into is the threat to Canada’s electricity grid. While the report says this remains “very unlikely,” it could cause major damage and interruptions to wide swaths of the country.

If a country can disable electricity and communication lines of another country; that's a significant and concerning vulnerability (especially if there were to ever be a physical war, which nothing is out of the question in the world we live in)...

Let’s bring even more immigrants from all of those strategic threat countries to our shores. What could go wrong? canada

LETS BE 100% CLEAR .... THE BIGGEST THREAT TO CANADA IS TRUDEAU AND HIS CORRUPT GOVT ..... next in line is China ... one could actually same they one in the same ....

Keep in mind Stephen Harper under Conservative government signed Foreign Investment Promotion an Protection Agreement aka FIPA with China and Justin Trudeau cashed it in so both parties (Libs and Cons) are also a threat to Canada.
