White House official pushes to axe Canada from Five Eyes intelligence group

They can and will be prosecuted through legal means. As for illegal means, if it's a big enough deal you can bet the other 4 countries will accidentally leak the info.

So Canadian citizens are safe from prosecution then by their own government.

Huh? The other 4 can still spy on Canadians. They just won't share the info with Canada.

I could have sworn I saw UK too, but can't find it anymore.

yep, the united states is the brown eye of the world

This is great news for Canadians, meaning they'll be free from dragnet surveilance, as the five eyes monitoring system relies on other countries to spy on their citizens for them as a legal loophole.

Way to go trump, keep going, dismantle the five eyes entirely.

First, US wanted UK out of five eyes. Now Canada. Pretty soon, it'll be one eye.

The US should be axed from the alliance at this point, honestly. No intel shared with us can be trusted to be secret, even to our 'enemies'.
