Canadians secretly added to U.S. security list: WikiLeaks

www.cbc.ca

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service, Canada's principal intelligence agency, routinely transmits to U.S. authorities the names and personal details of Canadian citizens who are suspected of, but not charged with, what the agency refers to as "terrorist-related activity."

The criteria used to turn over the names are secret, as is the process itself.

Canadians have a constitutional right to privacy and to protection from unreasonable search and seizure, said Ruby.

As far as this secret report dates back it hasn't been that many names that were submitted.

But is Canada still a sovereign nation?
Is Canada cooperating too much with the U.S.?
How much information does Canaga give the U.S.?

Anytime someone flies from Montreal to Vancouver all information is sent to the U.S. because they fly over U.S. airspace.

Thoughts ATS?

Last time I checked Canada is almost completely independant of Britain. Sure, the Queen still appoints our Governor General, but that's it. I do think that we work with the US more than we should. As far as flying from Montreal to Vancouver, no plane flies into US airspace. It's clear sailing across the prairies, with maybe a pitstop in Calgary going from Montreal, and stopping in Winter-Peg(Winnipeg, for you non-Canucks) going from Vancouver. However, as for the intel-swapping, it is known that terrorists like to hide in Canada from the US because our immigration laws suck. Our co-operation with the US makes for tracking illegal immigrants and potential terrorists easier, I'm guessing.

I'm pretty sure I'm on that list.

But eh, what the hell. Being on the terrorist watchlist of the insane US government proves you're a good guy.

if it like the american terror watchlist for ther own citizens(which i assume it is) than i wonder how many of us up here have the potential to end up pn this list

I blame achmed
