If you read through the Snowden leaks you'll see just how normal the CSE is. If you're a reasonably good hacker think how you'd do it. They probably do it kinda like that.

They've been given additional powers lately to expand surveillance on regular citizens, so I wonder how much that "sweet innocence" of theirs will last and how long until they also become more like the NSA, especially under a conservative government in the (near) future.

They don't have to be.

They can spy on Americans, the NSA can spy on Canadians, and the two governments can freely share information between eachother. (Because it's not information about their own citizens.) Canada is one of the five eyes, after all.
