What Canada does is Canada’s business.
Must have been a deal struck. Bet Canada goes after reporters too.
It’s obviously up to Canadians to decide if they’re OK with that.I wouldn’t trust *my* current leaders with my grandson’s shoe size but maybe Canada’s current leaders are made of more decent stuff.
Don’t care.
Canaduh can do whatever they want, in there country.
Under the Echelon program England, Canada or the USA did not spy on their own people but another country spied on their country like say Canada spied on the USA while USA spied on England and England spied on Canada.
In case folks don’t get the ramifications, the NATO nations have long been rumoured to have a sort of “Throw Grandma from the Train” network going on where they all circumvent their own laws against surveilling their local populous by making agreements amongst themselves. “I’ll spy on your folks and share the info with you if you’ll spy on mine.”
But then, if they discovered something really bad, that threatened Canada, what would they do?
I don’t think they have a particularly strong defense system.
Let’s face it, in the event of WWIII Canada will be our ‘ally’. Meaning WE defend THEM.
If all that is monitored is traffic crossing borders, then NO PROBLEM from this FReeper. That is the purpose of border control. Cross the border, in either direction, and YOU ARE subject to full search. Send a package, same thing. Send CDs and DVDs, same thing. So send an E-Mail, it should be the same thing.
But once they get into monitoring internal communications without a warrant, I have a BIG PROBLEM.
I guess that Carly Rae Jepsen song “Call Me, Maybe” had another meaning, eh?
