One point of correction:
That isn't how the 5 eyes actually works. It's illegal for most countries to invade the privacy of their own citizens without a warrant since they have the equivalent to the bill of rights or a constitution or something similar.
But... it's not illegal for Canada to spy on the citizens of the other 5 eyes technically speaking (especially if nobody ever finds out...) you just blame discovering stuff on other legitimate surveillance methods, or you "get lucky" one day and catch a person you're interested in by pure happenstance. Wow, would you look at that? They were criminaling while I was watching them.
You ~~scratch my back~~ spy on my citizens I ~~scratch~~ spy on yours?
