The Pirate Party of Canada has issued a release on this, due to
Canadians interest in themselves we are focusing on Canadian
surveillance of Canadians rather than foreign cooperation.

Re: [liberationtech] Canadian phone and Internet surveillance program revealed

[David Golumbia]

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.

[liberationtech] Canadian phone and Internet surveillance program revealed

[Nadim Kobeissi]

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.
