[liberationtech] Canadian phone and Internet surveillance program revealed
Some news in Canada similar to the NSA revelations in the US: Defence Minister Peter MacKay approved a secret electronic eavesdropping program that scours global telephone records and Internet data trails – including those of Canadians – for patterns of suspicious activity. Mr. MacKay signed a ministerial directive formally renewing the government’s “metadata” surveillance program on Nov. 21, 2011, according to records obtained by The Globe and Mail. The program had been placed on a lengthy hiatus, according to the documents, after a federal watchdog agency raised concerns that it could lead to warrantless surveillance of Canadians. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/data-collection-program-got-green-light-from-mackay-in-2011/article12444909/ NK -- Too many emails?

Re: [liberationtech] Canadian phone and Internet surveillance program revealed
the buried lede in all these stories is that cooperation agreements mean Canadians can spy on US citizens (but are only ever asked about Canadians, Canadian pols only talk about protections for their citizens), US can spy on Canadians (but are only asked about US, US pols only talk about protections for their citizens), etc., etc.--esp. for UK, NZ, and Aus-- share the info as they like. and not spy on their own citizens and (kind of) tell the truth when they say it. or a half-truth that makes them feel better and appears to comply with letter of the law.
