Here’s the low-down from CSIS boss Dan Rogers, who just gave his first big public speech, and the security vibes in Canada are getting pretty wild. We’re talking foreign meddling from China, Russia, Iran, and even India; spies snooping around the Arctic; shady recruitment attempts; and even foreign governments threatening people right here at home.

On top of that, violent extremism is still a major problem and the scariest part? More Canadian teens are getting pulled into extremist stuff online. Nearly one in ten CSIS terror cases now involves a minor.

Rogers also flagged how our data’s getting scooped up by foreign companies and states, giving them new ways to mess with us. Also, it’s not just government targets anymore; businesses, universities, and even local governments are getting hit. Basically, if you’ve got valuable tech or info, someone out there wants it.

Big picture: Canada’s threat landscape is getting more complicated, and CSIS says foreign states are way more aggressive than they used to be.
