The basis for our analysis is a global trend upwards in threats to democratic institutions. We don't spend inordinate amounts of time trying to attribute where that behaviour comes from. The resources we have we turn towards detecting, finding solutions and turning to prevention as early as possible. I think it's important to realize, and it's in our report, that these threats have been mounting, and Canada being the key player in the world that it is, is likely to be a target of the same threats.
