Canadian security still takes a back seat- a case of too little ,too late
CBSA is undermanned by about 1200 people- hiring 55 people/year is a tepid response to the immediate dangers. CSIS is short about 700 people and the RCMP are short at least 2200 "0fficers".It would have been preferable if the government understood the immediate threats but apparently they still don't. It's more like a financial shell game with that $10 billion for security. As for the undermanning- the terrorists, the crooks, the police and the government are all aware of the shortfalls in manpower. Everybody knows about it but the Canadian public.It would have been preferable if the government had taken some bold steps years ago on plugging the security gaps. They didn't then and with this announcement they still haven't.It's not like they were short of any money or anything.
Ressam was caught by an alert ,experienced U.S. Customs agent when she saw him sweating- he wasn't caught by a computer.This looks like a mighty lean bone was thrown out so the media can go back to sleep.
