"where institutions can sign up to using a federal DNS service provided through the domain registrar..."

The domain registrar is CIRA, and has only one of twelve board members having a federal government affiliation. See cira.ca for the facts. Their Canadian Shield services uses data from Akamai, Mozilla, and CCCS.

It is not "federal".

Sigh. Another comment from someone's memory that takes only 2 minutes to fact-check and discover to be incorrect.

Would you like to elaborate on who collects the data and does the security analysis on it and offers to provide threat intelligence back to the institutions? I can save you a click:

It's a useful service that I was commenting on as analogous to the one being provided in the UK, and it taking a different and passive approach. Instead of apologizing, my favourite charity can be found at victimsofcommunism\.org
