I got a good chuckle when reading these articles:

http://www.newsbytes.com/pubNews/00/146343.html

(As linked to from hackernews.com)  

A paragraph from the first url:

The U.S. Defence Intelligence Agency estimates that a full 80 percent of the attacks upon U.S. systems
originate in or pass through Canada, the report stated. The Citizen noted that the report, prepared by
Canadian military and intelligence agencies, including the ultra-secret Communications Security
establishment, further said, "It is the assessment of the (Canadian government's) Intelligence Policy
Group that the United States and our allies will expect Canada to participate in combating and reducing
the cyber threat." 

By the way, the "ultra secret" CSE is holding a conference again this year, 
12 th. Annual Information Technology Security Symposium
June 19-23, 2000
Ottawa Congress Centre
Ottawa, ON, Canada
