Anti-terror legislation
How Canada's terror laws could change
The Globe and Mail 31/10/2014 - The attacks that killed soldiers in Ottawa and Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que., have Canadian MPs grappling with how to respond - one bill is already nearly through parliament, another was tabled days after the attacks and the government has mused openly  about what new powers it may yet give police. The collection of efforts have sparked calls for restraint - to not let the attacks spur knee-jerk counter-terrorism legislation that infringes on civil liberties. The government, however, has sidestepped many of the issues. Here's a summary of the developments to date in the parliamentary push to fight terrorism.

Réflexions sur la guerre au terrorisme
Reflections on the war on terror
More surveillance punishes Canadians, not terrorists
Huffington Post 29/10/2014 - The potential destruction of terrorism is infinitesimally smaller than the damage done to our rights by a disproportionate attempt to prevent it. Please. Please remember this. It's even more important now, when that fact is so easily forgotten in the wake of the attack on our Parliament and the tragic deaths of Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent and Cpl. Nathan Cirillo. We cannot allow the extreme actions of a few to strip us of the freedoms those soldiers worked so hard to protect. But the  Canadian government continues to roll back our rights in the name of "security." [...] More extreme laws aren't the answer. You can reduce the number of those inclined to violence with solid, community-based prevention programs, better mental health support, and by working to stop radicalization, ghettoization, and feelings of alienation among disadvantaged or minority groups. But if someone decides to go on a killing spree, all we can do is hope they don't have access to heavy-duty weaponry (which, in Canada, they most likely won't), and that our frontline officers and security personnel are there to stop them.

Surveillance et vie privée
Surveillance and privacy
Canada's bad dream
World Policy Journal Fall 2014 - Edward Snowden's June 2013 leak has shone unprecedented light on the dark underside of Internet connectivity. So far, however, Canada has remained a victim largely hidden in the shadows. Much of the debate over the National Security Agency (NSA) revelations has focused on U.S. domestic surveillance of individuals never under suspicion. But whatever modest legal protections Americans may enjoy, all those outside the United States are classified as foreigners and have no such protection. And while we know most about the NSA's domestic surveillance operations, the  Snowden documents make very clear that with the aid of its allies-Great Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand-the NSA has developed a globe-spanning surveillance infrastructure of remarkable scale and scope. Rarely mentioned in the Snowden documents is the targeting of Canadians. Given its long shared border and the pattern of Internet buildout in North America, much of Canada's internal Internet traffic- domestic traffic that originates and terminates in Canada-is routed via the United States, where it is subject to the NSA's domestic interception programs. Furthermore, the lack of international submarine fiber optic cables on Canada's shores means that almost all of Canada's third country Internet traffic is similarly routed through the United States and via NSA surveillance operations.

CBC "stonewalled" Snowden story, says Greenwald
CANADALAND 23/10/2014 - CANADALAND has learned that last year the CBC acquired NSA documents describing a major CSEC surveillance program, but the public broadcaster has been sitting on this news for over nine months, with no immediate plans to publish. In an interview with CANADALAND, Glenn Greenwald has revealed the "shocking reluctance" of veteran CBC reporter Terry Milewski to inform the public about CSEC spying, an indifference eventually revealed to be actual ideological opposition on the part of a  reporter to exposing government surveillance programs. Further, CANADALAND has learned that the Globe and Mail initially spiked documentation of an earlier Snowden revelation, reneging on a promise to Greenwald that if he were to provide them with Snowden leaks, the Globe would include this original documentation in their reporting. Greenwald learned that the initial decision to withhold the Snowden files came directly from former Globe and Mail editor-in-chief John Stackhouse, whom Greenwald suggests may have been buckling to government pressure.
