I read today on BBC that canada issued order to deport a russian spy that was posing as canadian carrying false papers, money in different currencies and three cell phones, and that russia finally provided the necessary papers for him to leave after deport order. Canada said that it won't hurt relations between the two countries because "it happens all the time between countries"!!!

The quick answer is: Industrial espionage. This happens all the time, everywhere. The biggest offender of all in this respect is: France. I have spoken to fellow engineers that have travelled to conventions in Paris and found bugs in their hotel rooms. This is much more common than you may think. I have to sit through a counterintelligence breif once a year at work, and this is always the centerpice of the lecture.

Why you may ask! Why not. Consider this while you munch on your breakfast.
The fastest way to get to any point in Russia is over the North Pole. Guess who owns most of the land on the "other" side of the North Pole? Canada - you win. Just gotta know if there are any new defense stations up there and what the plans are man.
It is a paranoid business spying is. Always have to play the what if game and check out all the possible outcomes. Cause if you do not and trouble starts - you lose.

Wow i could be very nervous. You in no way understand what Canada has planned with tiny transmitters that in basic terms have a sort a pair KM. they could have spies planted everywhere. Oh wait did no longer the object say that the main effective suspect have been China, Russia, or the feared France?

Ooooo. Interesting. . All the best sellers about spies and spying tell us the same thing, that all countries spy on each other. Almost like an international club? The United Nations spy club?

Most people trying to get into the United States will come in through either Canada or Mexico. Canada has the least border control, so it is favored.

Everyone spies on everyone, been that way since the beginning of time. And Canada's response is a very generous one. But Russia is no longer the military threat it used to be.

More than likely, he was to enter the states on Canadian papers. Either that, or the was after the secret recipe for LaBatts

Probably Russia wants to know why Canadians call their ham bacon.

Canada is quite correct. It happens all the time.

I don't know. But I do feel that all countries are spying on the other countries.
