Why Canadian intelligence agencies never saw the freedom convoy coming
CSIS briefing notes show the agency believed a threat would come from "an extremist lone actor" against a high-profile target. Instead, we have a blockade of the capital by a group of angry truckers
B riefing notes and Power Point slides from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) identify enemies such as ISIS and a l-Qa ida, and the neo-Nazi Atom waffen Brigade, Blood & Honour and the Base. “ There is a continued threat of a violent attack in Canada with little or no warning,” they say.
But these analyses never mention the chance that a crowd of angry truckers and groups from the far right will join together one week and occupy the capital, rather than trying to kill people.
The CSIS documents, released through an access to information request, also identify high-profile targets of possible violence: a professional football game, Barack Obama’s 2019 visit to Ottawa, the RCMP Sunset Ceremony, the Army Run, and even the opening of the LRT back in 2019.
But again, nobody at CSIS was asking: What if a group ignores the high-profile targets and instead blockade s city streets, blasting disruptive noise all day, and refusing to leave?
The documents say security threats would likely be from “an extremist lone actor” or small group , with no warning. The past 10 days have turned that upside-down.
Analysts describe the usual weapons, such as firearms and bombs. But not air horns, fireworks, diesel engines, trucks blockading the streets, verbal harassment, which are technically not weapons and have baffled the police. They also don’t address the problem of re-supply lines that bring in crucial fuel , and the infrastructure: a camp kitchen, tents, fire pits and saunas.
And no one foresaw that millions of dollars would come in a couple of weeks from GoFundMe, and later GiveSendGo.
The documents are all from 2019. But a former national security analyst who now teaches at Carleton University says Canada was still not ready for the truckers this winter.
The truckers’ protest “is a weird event, and this may be why it wasn’t predicted,” said Stephanie Carvin, who teaches political science. “ I don’t know that they were prepared for a sustained event like this.”
She says the CSIS worldview changed suddenly with the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 of last year. But she said “radical change” is hard to implement within an institution.
One problem, Carvin says, is “hindsight bias” — the belief that future events will be similar to what we have already seen. Terror attacks in Canada have usually been by one person.

>The simplest answer is that the truckers were not and are not a security threat. Since they are not a threat they are not an appropriate part of a threat assessment.

In 2011, John Foley, an executive at Barnes & Noble in New York City, pitched his colleague, Tom Cortese, on the idea that technology could make it possible for people with little time to get the full experience of working out in a high-end studio cycling class in their homes. Peloton Interactive, LLC was founded in January 2012. The company raised $400,000 in seed money in February 2012 and another $3.5 million in December 2012. Peloton sold its first bike on Kickstarter in 2013 with an early bird price tag of $1,500. Peloton's first stationary bicycle was released in 2014.

The Little Insurrectionist is a statue in commemoration of the child soldiers who fought and died during the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. It is located next to the ramparts of Warsaw's Old Town. The statue is of a young boy wearing a helmet too large for his head and holding a submachine gun. The helmet and submachine gun are stylized after German equipment, which was captured during the uprising and used by the resistance fighters against the occupying forces. Polish scouts gathered the entirety of funds for the statue and it was unveiled on 1 October 1983 by Professor Jerzy Świderski – a cardiologist who during the uprising was a 14-years-old courier serving in the Home Army. Behind the statue is a plaque with the engraved words of "Varsovian Children", a popular song from the period: "Varsovian children, we'll head into battle—for every stone of yours, we shall give our blood".
