And don't forget about the NSA's Operation Backhoe.  What more convenient way 
of installing a tap than cutting the fibre, then installing a passive tap while 
repairs are in progress ...

That would be the CSE, not CSIS ...

 I'd assume the NSA and CSIS would be talking as needed.

 Whether CSIS is actually monitoring in there is another question.  I'd
 assume yes, but have never heard anything to confirm or deny.

 If your talking the NSA I doubt anyone would tell you.  That being
 said: it would mean the US gov't breaking Canadian law I suspect.  Now
 in Canada it is quite possible that the Canadian Fed gov't monitors
 traffic but I would also say no one would tell you because telling you
 would also be in violation in wiretap laws.

 Best advice, assume they do and hope they don't. :)

Andy,

Let me recommend the IXmaps project. It is documenting the very question you 
are asking :)


http://www.ixmaps.ca

IXmaps is an interactive tool that enables internet users and researchers to 
study the route(s) that data packets take across North America, with 
'interesting' sites highlighted along the way. It is currently under 
development. It has been supported by a research grant from the Social Sciences 
and Humanities Research Council of Canada's Image, Text, Sound and Technology 
program.

IXmaps is affiliated with the New Transparency Project and the Information 
Policy Research Program at theFaculty of Information, University of Toronto.

regards

Robert
