B.C. civil liberties group files complaint over alleged spying on pipeline opponents by RCMP, CSIS
The Toronto Star 03/02/2014 - Civil liberties activists in B.C. have filed complaints against Canada's spy agency and the RCMP for allegedly snooping on opponents of the Northern Gateway pipeline. Josh Paterson with the BC Civil Liberties Association alleges the spying activities include illegal searches of private information, and he says some of the details were shared with oil and  energy companies and the National Energy Board. Paterson says it's illegal for police and spy agencies to gather information on the activist groups, as none of them pose any threat to public safety or energy board hearings. ForestEthics Advocacy is one of the groups that alleges it was spied on, and campaign director Ben West says speaking out about environmental issues is part of the democratic process. The allegations stem from an access to information request filed by online publication the Vancouver Observer last November.

Canadian NGO: Why we are suing the Prime Minister's Office
The Toronto Star 03/02/2014 - One would think it unfathomable in Canada that the heart of our democratic government - the Prime Minister's Office - would use the bullying tactics of undemocratic regimes to silence dissenters, but it has. Our organization, a mainstream Canadian NGO has worked tirelessly to protect civil liberties for over a decade, was recently smeared by the PMO as being affiliated with a banned terrorist group. Why? Because we dared to exercise our right to criticize Prime Minister Stephen Harper's  decision to take someone on his trip to the Middle East who praised individuals widely recognized as anti-Muslim activists. Rather than respond to the legitimate concerns in our open letter to the prime minister, the PMO's communications director dismissively stated that we have "documented ties to a terrorist organization such as Hamas."
Excuse us? Since when does government publicly accuse Canadians of criminal affiliations without a shred of evidence? Wait - don't answer that question. Among the vast portfolio of advocacy work we've done over the years, including standing up for Canadians like Maher Arar, we've seen first-hand how leaping to false conclusions can have devastating effects on people's lives.

Opinion: Border police in dire need of independent oversight
The Toronto Star 05/02/2014 - Human rights organizations concerned about refugees were shocked to learn of the death of Lucia Vega Jimenez, a Mexican woman held in custody by the Canada Border Services Agency at the Vancouver International Airport in December. Information about this tragic death was made public only after  a news agency broke the story last week. There has been no public explanation from the CBSA for what happened, whether anything could have been done to prevent the death, and what steps are being taken to determine whether there was any failing on the part of CBSA officials who were responsible for her care while she was in custody. This tragic case underlines the fact that there is absolutely no independent oversight of CBSA to which the family can seek recourse.

US, NSA and mass surveillance
États-Unis, NSA et surveillance globale
La Monde 03/02/2014 - Espérant montrer que leur rôle dans le scandale est limité, les géants d'Internet Facebook, Microsoft, Yahoo et Google ont commencé à publier lundi 3 février des détails sur le nombre de requêtes judiciaires qu'ils ont reçues secrètement de la part des autorités américaines dans le cadre du scandale des écoutes de la NSA. Le renseignement national a requis des informations sur 9 000 à 10 000 comptes Google les six premiers mois de 2013, et sur 12 000 à 13 000 comptes les six derniers mois  de 2013, selon le blog officiel du géant de l'Internet. Microsoft a déclaré de son côté qu'entre 15 000 et 15 999 comptes d'utilisateurs avaient été visés par des injonctions FISA, afin que leur contenu soit communiqué aux autorités, durant les six premiers mois de 2013. Brad Smith, conseiller juridique de Microsoft, a toutefois relevé que le gouvernement aurait pu intercepter des informations sans que les entreprises concernées en aient connaissance, en piratant les câbles de communication qui relient les centres de données de Google et Yahoo!, comme l'ont montré des documents confidentiels diffusés par Snowden. |
