Législation antiterroriste
Anti-terror legislation
Monia Mazigh: Harper's recycled anti-terror rhetoric is getting tiredrabble.ca 14/08/2015 - In 2011, Somali-Canadian Mohamed Hassan Hersi, designated in the media as a "terror tourist," was arrested at the Toronto airport, prosecuted, and in 2014, sentenced for trying to leave Canada to join a militant group, al-Shabab, in Somalia. Despite all the lingering questions around the circumstances that led to Hersi's decision to leave Canada, his possible entrapment and radicalization by an undercover police officer who befriended him, Hersi was found  guilty and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
He is the first Canadian to be convicted of joining an overseas terrorist group. Hersi was not even charged under the amended Criminal Code of 2013 (the Combatting Terrorism Act or Bill S-7) -- he was charged under the Anti-terrorism Act 2001. So that would prove we don't need Bill S-7, Bill C-51 or even this new measure contemplated by Stephen Harper [to ban travels to 'terrorist hot spots']. Canadian judges already have all the necessary legal tools needed to prevent people from travelling to undesirable destinations.

Le géant des télécoms AT&T a aidé la NSA à espionner des milliards d'emails
Le Monde 16/08/2015 - L'agence américaine de renseignement NSA a trouvé en AT&T, le géant des télécoms, un partenaire particulièrement efficace pour espionner les communications, selon de nouvelles informations trouvées dans les documents de l'ancien consultant de la NSA Edward Snowden. Selon le New York Times et le site d'investigation ProPublica, qui continuent de décoder les données divulguées par le lanceur d'alerte, la compagnie  américaine AT&T y est décrite comme une société « extrêmement coopérative », et qui a démontré « une grande volonté de collaborer ». On ignore, selon le New York Times, si le programme décrit par les documents, qui datent de 2003 à 2013, est encore actif aujourd'hui. Les documents montrent que AT&T a permis à la NSA d'avoir accès à des milliards de mails échangés sur le territoire américain, parmi lesquels ceux du siège des Nations unies à New York, dont AT&T est le fournisseur d'accès internet.

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.

those accused, and what kind of accountability protections would be constructed around such a measure. The experience of Bill C-51, the recent anti-terrorism legislation, does not create much confidence about a strong regime of checks and balances should the Conservatives win another majority in the fall and actually introduce such legislation. What we need from all the major political parties contesting the election are coherent and substantive statements about their strategic vision for Canadian national security, now and in the future. [...] Let's see our political parties engage openly on this difficult matter. What we don't need are point-scoring little announcements like the no-go zone one, designed by the Conservatives to seize a putative advantage by showing yet again that they are "tough on terrorism" and force their opponents into various traps as they react.
watchdog took on what she called the "perplexing" and "indiscriminant" disclosure of suicide attempt incidents by police. "You don't have to be branded by a mental health mistake," she said. In a report to the Toronto police board released Monday, Chief Mark Saunders outlined changes made in the wake of Cavoukian's 2014 report, Crossing the Line, which chronicled the experiences of Ontarians refused entry into the U.S. based on a past suicide attempt. 
We allege not only that Canada's spy service broke the law by gathering information on peaceful civilians inside Canada, but that government spying has put a chill on democratic participation. Do you know that feeling, that you're being watched? It's like when you park your vehicle in a bad spot and have to walk there after dark. Or you come home after a trip and the door is unlocked. Or you peer into the webcam on your phone or computer and wonder, is anyone there? This spring I couldn't shake that creepy sensation. I told myself I was being silly, that I had nothing to hide, that all my interesting consumer data is swept up by marketers already. But the feeling wouldn't go away, so I sent CSIS a request under the Privacy Act to see if they had a file on me. A few weeks later a brown envelope arrived from Ottawa with my address hand-written on the front. Inside was a single, watermarked page with the Canadian Security Intelligence Service logo at the top.
