Spies Like Us

With a combined 90+ years of experience in the Canadian intelligence community across many agencies (CSIS, CSE, CBSA, etc.), Neil the cherub Bisson, Phil the ‘Wall’ Gurski and Al the grizzly bear Treddenick weigh in on current intelligence and international security issues all with a sharp tongue and a well-needed injection of humour. You will learn something and have fun doing it! Imagine three retired spies in a bar shooting the breeze and go from there.
