Unsettled by CSIS coopting of Ottawa Police

I was bureaucrat in Ottawa, cleared beyond Top Secret, when CSIS decided I need 'disrupting.' I knew then and know now I've done nothing wrong, but residents should know of the dirty tricks applied by CSIS involving the Ottawa Police.

After some conflicts in my neighbourhood, I tried to involve the Ottawa Police. Incidents included vandalism and vehicular assault. But the officers involved in national security/'terrorism' are secluded into a special area and become CSIS employees (due to some contractual agreement) and turn the other way when (a) Ottawa police officers are impersonated, (b) a chief of police is made into a Senator and takes the relevant files, (c) numerous attempts to provoke traffic accidents (fender benders) in the commercial parking lots, (d) burying a charge of physical assault, etc. This has happened before (not to me) and the city police generally take CSIS' side.

Except they're wrong to do so.

I don't seek to 'defund the police;' far from it. Some officers knew what was going on and wanted nothing to do with it. More professionalism might seem to be the proffered advice, but my story is more specific: don't abide by CSIS' requests for assistance until you've confirmed independently whether or not 'disinformation' (that's the CSIS business, after all) or 'disruption' (often requiring defamation) is appropriate and right. CSIS has no oversight and are often agitators themselves. Police should silo themselves from political maneuvering disguised as 'national security.'
