Bourduas and Mendicino agree that costlier security for MPs is likely the new normal.

"Sadly, I don't think this is a one-off or a temporary blip," said Mendicino. "I do think that we are now living in an era where we are beset with disinformation and propaganda and foreign interference and cyberattacks and transnational repression — all of which makes for a very complicated threat environment."

Sad to say this certainly seems to be the case these days.
