Ontario business man says U.S. wrongly put him on no-fly list
CBC News 07/01/2014 - Omer Qureshi was supposed to catch a flight to visit family in Pakistan last Saturday, but was to find out he wouldn't be allowed to go. It was the second time in a year that he had been barred from flying overseas. The first occasion was last year, when he learned he had been put on the U.S. no-fly list. Qureshi said he applied for redress and was told that he should be cleared to fly. He bought another ticket and was stopped from travelling again. In 2012, Qureshi said he was paid a visit by  CSIS and the RCMP, who told him that he had been investigated and cleared. Someone had claimed that Quershi had been planning a bomb attack, but it wasn't true. He suspects that a rival businessman made the unfounded claim. But under Canadian law, all of your personal information - including unfounded accusations - can be handed over to the U.S. Civil rights lawyers say more and more Canadians are being affected. They blame Bill C-42, a Canadian law that passed in March of last year. "We were opposed to Bill C-42 because we didn't like the idea of Canadian airlines sending their passenger lists to the U.S., for the U.S. to decide whether or not people can board planes in Canada," said Sukanya Pillay of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association. It appears that's what happened to Qureshi.

Editorial: The cost of Omar Khadr's missing years
Ottawa Citizen 07/01/2014 - The Canadian government's treatment of Omar Khadr might end up costing the taxpayers of this country tens of millions of dollars, if the young man wins his lawsuit. But the cost to Canadians will be even greater than that, if this country remains unprepared for the next time one of its children is captured in a war zone. A policy on child soldiers  that is irrational, contradictory and arbitrary will have consequences - not only for the children themselves, but for Canada's foreign policy and the conduct of its wars. Whether you believe Khadr is sincere or not, there is very little point in continuing to expect the worst from him. He will be free one day - in 2018, when his sentence is up, if not well before. He says he wants a normal, productive life. That is an impulse the government of Canada should encourage in young men accused of violent crimes in their youth, guilty or not. Read more - Lire plus

Spy agency admits it spies on Canadians 'incidentally'
Ottawa Citizen 06/01/2014 - Canada's foreign intelligence agency admits it "incidentally" spies on Canadians, but wants to reassure the public it protects the privacy of that information. "In the course of targeting foreign entities outside Canada in an interconnected and highly  networked world, it is possible that we may incidentally intercept Canadian communications or information," the Communications Security Establishment Canada (CSE) said in a new statement posted on its website. It is the first time the country's ultrasecret signals intelligence agency has strayed from its standard assurance that it does not "target" the electronic communications of Canadians.

Un juge fédéral sermonne le renseignement pour avoir contourné la loi
La Presse 20/12/2013 - L'agence canadienne d'espionnage a délibérément caché de l'information à la justice pour contourner une loi lorsqu'elle a appliqué pour des mandats confidentiels destinés à intercepter les communications de deux Canadiens à l'étranger, a affirmé vendredi un juge de la Cour fédérale.
Par ce moyen, l'agence a potentiellement mis en  danger les Canadiens hors du pays, a-t-il dit par écrit. Le juge Mosley a accordé les mandats en janvier 2009 à partir des promesses faites par le SCRS et le Centre de la sécurité des télécommunications (CSTC). Toutefois, les autorités canadiennes ont demandé de l'aide à des alliés du renseignement étranger pour intercepter les citoyens, sans le dire à la cour. M. Mosley, déçu, a affirmé que la cour n'avait jamais approuvé l'implication de l'extérieur.

Vancouver Observer
or TAO. This is the NSA's top operative unit -- something like a squad of plumbers that can be called in when normal access to a target is blocked. According to internal NSA documents viewed by SPIEGEL, these on-call digital plumbers are involved in many sensitive operations conducted by American intelligence agencies. TAO's area of operations ranges from counterterrorism to cyber attacks to traditional espionage. The documents reveal just how diversified the tools at TAO's disposal have become -- and also how it exploits the technical weaknesses of the IT industry, from Microsoft to Cisco and Huawei, to carry out its discreet and efficient attacks.
