Législation antiterroriste
Anti-terror legislation
The Toronto Star 31/07/2015 - Bill C-51, the controversial anti-terrorism bill, emerged as one of the biggest political issues of the year, with thousands of Canadians protesting against legislation they viewed as excessively restrictive of their privacy and civil rights. The bill passed in June, but not before all three major parties adopted distinct positions. The Conservatives unsurprisingly supported their plan with few amendments, the NDP offered the strongest opposition, and the Liberals voted for the bill but promised changes if elected.
Those positions open the door to a robust debate on what comes next. The Liberals have committed to  repealing elements of Bill C-51, but leaving some of it untouched. What would an NDP government do? With a Conservative-backed Senate committee recently proposing additional reforms, do the Conservatives view Bill C-51 as the end or the beginning of legal changes to combat terrorism? On top of Bill C-51 and its aftermath, the Edward Snowden surveillance revelations still loom large. The government has largely avoided discussing Canada's role in global Internet surveillance activities even as other countries have eliminated some programs and beefed up oversight in response to public concern. A clear position from each party on Canadian network surveillance activities is long overdue.

Petition: Call a Coroner's Inquest in to Abdi's death
End Immigration Detention Network - Abdi had been in immigration prison without charges, trial or date of release for three years at the time of his death in a maximum security prison in Lindsay, Ontario. Days after his death, 88 immigration detainees imprisoned at the same prison, the Central East Correction  Centre, defied sanctions to issue a joint petition calling for an inquiry into their friend's death. We at the End Immigration Detention Network have just been able to access to this petition. It reads: * Coroner's inquest must happen and made public. * Thorough inquest, must include talking to detainees. * Implementation (of recommendations) from the inquest must be made immediately. * The parties responsible must be made accountable.

d'expression en criminalisant l'apologie du terrorisme, elle-même définie en termes vagues, et tout cela, sans aucun mécanisme de contrôle ni de reddition de comptes. Bon nombre de démocraties occidentales ont choisi de fermer leurs frontières aux migrants et réfugiés, les laissant même mourir en mer. Bon nombre de démocraties occidentales ont décidé de limiter la fondamentale liberté d'expression en octroyant des pouvoirs militaires à leur police, des pouvoirs discrétionnaires sur qui peut ou non manifester, qui doit être ou non arrêté. Sur ces trois exemples, le Canada est un élève zélé, il suit la tendance, voire parade en tête.
establishment knew that this Canadian agency, known today as the Communications Security Establishment (CSE), had been engaged in comprehensive eavesdropping and code breaking initiatives ever since the end of the Second World War. The Canadian government had secretly collected the country's post-war signals intelligence talent at the National Research Council (NRC) in 1946, establishing the intentionally vague-sounding Communications Branch: the CBNRC. [...] Every successive federal government vehemently denied that Canada engaged in any international espionage, while the CBNRC secretly helped to fight and even escalate the Cold War. Peck's interview in Ramparts provided one of the first concrete pieces of evidence pointing to this fact. It practically begged for further investigation-though that investigation wouldn't begin in earnest until the following year, with an enterprising young Englishman named William Macadam.
the interests of the national security establishment - that companies like Apple and Google might in certain cases be found legally liable for providing material aid to a terrorist organization because they provide encryption services to their users. In his email, Snowden explained how law enforcement officials who are demanding that U.S. companies build some sort of window into unbreakable end-to-end encryption - he calls that an "insecurity mandate" - haven't thought things through. "The central problem with insecurity mandates has never been addressed by its proponents: if one government can demand access to private communications, all governments can," Snowden wrote.
