6. Personality type? Honesty would be #1 trait

Undercovers should be watchers, analyzers and factual. Instead too many are full of shyte, angle-shooters, agent provocateurs or "guiding hands". They can act this way because the system is stacked in their favor. No accountability, no one listening to victims except in extreme cases.

The costs of being wrong or pursuing the wrong path can be extremely deadly: socially, economically and democratically. In the worst case scenarios lives are lost and/or we put our allies in the path of danger. As I have come to understand Canada simply isn't as trusted as it once was.

Nothing is worse than a nation in which their intelligence capital has no value or is deemed untrustworthy. In the last couple of weeks I have read articles about the British criticizing the RCMP, I have read a number of articles about how Canada is not as close to America and our other allies as it once was. This from former politicians and aides. This distrust didn't just start over night.
