Liste d'interdiction de vol
No fly list
Federal anti-terror bill amplifies concerns over secretive 'no-fly list': critics
The National Post 15/04/2015 - Critics say measures already exist to block wannabe "foreign fighters" from travelling, such as applying for a peace bond or revoking their passports. Further, they say, the no-fly process is shrouded in secrecy and would remain so under Bill C-51. If names are added to the list, people are not notified until they attempt to travel. And they are not entitled to know the full reasons. "It is notable that the new regime does not have any kind of independent challenge function, like a special  advocate or the Office of Reconsideration, which can review all of the secret evidence and make recommendations," said Paul Champ, a lawyer with the International Civil Liberties Monitoring Group in Ottawa. Even if they take the case to court, they might receive only a summary of the evidence against them. The no-fly system has been criticized by Canada's privacy commissioner for being "opaque" and lacking evidence it is effective, Champ said. "Rather than reconsidering the need for such a regime, or substantially revising it ... the government has effectively doubled down."

Surveillance des agences de sécurité
Oversight of security agencies
Andrew Mitrovica: Ex-spy watchdog Plunkett calls CSIS civilian review 'a joke'iPolitics 10/04/2015 - Eva Plunkett is not prone to hyperbole. The former inspector-general for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service - the public servant who was, once upon a time, the Public Safety minister's eyes and ears inside Canada's spy agency - chooses her words very carefully. Plunkett spent nearly a decade as IG before Stephen Harper shuttered the office in 2012 because she was doing too good a job - routinely issuing reports that diplomatically raised the alarm about CSIS's questionable conduct. She took the work seriously. So when Plunkett says that the government's civilian oversight body, the Security Intelligence Review Committee, is a "joke" - take it to the bank. She  knows what she's talking about. And nobody knows better how vacuous the assurances offered by Prime Minister Harper and Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney about the draconian powers CSIS is getting under Bill C-51 truly are. [...] With the IG gone, that left SIRC as the only agency that occasionally takes a glance over the shoulders of our spies. But, as Plunkett rightly points out, SIRC's mandate does not include oversight of CSIS - nor is it much of a review agency. SIRC is a limp, ineffectual body that, from time to time, administers complaints about CSIS it receives from the public. Its five-member part-time executive committee - the current committee has been short one member for ages - meets a few times every other month, and tends to be comprised of ex-politicians looking for something to do with their spare time. SIRC's acting chair is Deborah Grey, the former Reform Party MP who - ironically - once agreed with her ex-boss, Preston Manning, when he denounced SIRC in the House of Commons as a useless dumping ground for surplus government hacks.

IJV-Initiated statement defending the right to criticize the State of Israel gets 75 organizational endorsements
ICLMG has endorsed this statement
IJV 15/04/2015 - In what appears to be another attempt to suppress criticism of Israel, the Canadian government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Israel which makes the claim that "the selective targeting of Israel is the new face of anti-Semitism" and declares that Canada will oppose those who support the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement. Shortly after the MOU was signed, Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney announced to the UN General Assembly that the Canadian government would exercise "zero tolerance" toward "all forms of discrimination  including rhetoric towards Israel, and attempts to delegitimize Israel such as the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement." [...] It is not yet clear how the Canadian government intends to implement a policy of "zero tolerance" to those who exercise their freedom of speech by advocating and participating in boycott, divestment and sanctions campaigns to pressure Israel to respect the rights of Palestinians. What is clear, however, is that the Canadian government is determined to target people who expose and oppose Israel's mistreatment of the Palestinians. Such efforts by the government can only put a chill on Canadian democracy and may lead to the criminalization of such dissent down the road.

dangerous, and ineffective. This law will detrimentally impact our social frameworks, democratic values and fundamental rights. Our security agencies currently possess wide-ranging powers to address security threats, and the need for this broad legislation has not been demonstrated. While minor amendments to the bill have been suggested, amendments cannot repair such an extensive and dangerous piece of legislation. [...] We write to you requesting that the federal government listen to the wishes of the majority of Canadians, and withdraw this piece of legislation. We will not be pressured or scared into sacrificing our rights and freedoms.
poll, which was conducted for VICE two weeks prior, when only a bare majority of those who were aware of the bill opposed it. The news gets worse for Harper, as one of the biggest drops in support for the bill is amongst his own kind. Of those who said they support the Conservative Party, 72 percent support Bill C-51-that's a nine point drop since Forum asked earlier in March. Meanwhile, 13 percent say they disapprove of the bill. 
bill explicitly permits someone who received information under the bill to use and disclose it "to any person, for any purpose." Looking at the 
Internet (FAI) à « détecter, par un traitement automatique, une succession suspecte de données de connexion » pouvant correspondre à des schémas typiquement utilisés par les terroristes. En pratique, cela consisterait à installer chez les FAI une « boîte noire » surveillant le trafic. Le contenu des communications ne serait pas surveillé, mais uniquement les métadonnées : origine ou destinataire d'un message, adresse IP d'un site visité... Un dispositif contesté par de nombreuses organisations, qui dénoncent la mise en place d'une surveillance massive des internautes, en analysant très largement les données des Français à la recherche de quelques individus seulement.
