Did Israel become the 51st state when I wasn't looking? How do Israel's plans for regional genocide count as US national security documents?
I get your point, but intelligence agreements break down if countries start letting their personnel leak information.
Canada has access to sensitive US intelligence. What do you think would happen if someone in CSIS leaked it?
Like, Israel bad, it was probably ethically correct to leak it, but I think your line of reasoning isn't fantastic from an actual argument perspective. It was a tweet sized, easily consumable expression of disagreement, and I can appreciate that art for what it is.
CSIS isn’t even well known because they’re either dependent or it’s because most people don’t even know Canada has a security agency.
That's not the only one here.
This is the super duper secret one:

And there's another I've heard about, but can't recall right now.
Canada is involved in some shady shit, to be sure.
How is how well known they are relevant? Would that make a leak more or less palletable? Are you familiar with the "five eyes"?
I wonder what CSIS does? Don't know what Canada considers threats.

Man, the US think tank CSIS dominates the Canadian intelligence agency CSIS in search results.
Okay, here's their jobs page.

Canada continues to cooperate with the CIA today, allowing ghost planes to land and refuel in Canada, en route to delivering prisoners to suspected CIA black sites.[6] The Canadian counterpart of the CIA is the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) and its agency heavily cooperates with the CIA.
Oh, so now we care about "willful retention of national defense information"?
What's the point, the incoming commander is just going to sell those secrets anyway.
Cool! Do Trump next, cause that was fast.
I appricate him for slowing down the third world war, but let's be honest here, it is around the corner. How else are the poor billionaires going to afford to be on tRumps cabinet.
