The traditional meaning of “counter intelligence,” for those who don’t understand the phrase, is the field of intelligence used to combat another country’s intelligence agency. So the CIA, for example, would have a department of counter intelligence whose duty would be to find and counter spies from other countries

Granite’s rather dull, not all that intelligent. Of course that might be why it’s “counter intelligent!”

We know Ron Gee … That is what makes the joke.
Ron must have made the joke for us in the US… CSIS is the Canadian equivalent to the CIA.
