New heads of Toronto CSIS office say they want to hire a more diverse group of spies

When Katherine Hannah and Zahra Musaji first started at the Canadian Security and Intelligence Agency back in 1999, they couldn’t have told you what colour the carpet was on the management levels.

Hannah said they were told at the time that women didn’t work in counterterrorism at CSIS — that they were supposed to work in human resources.

“There wasn’t a lot of diversity. It was hard to see how you fit,” said Musaji.

Funny, but I don’t feel safer.
