Why Canada can’t be trusted (long), please read.

4. Is this a serious question?

I wouldn't take all of that time to type up my personal circumstances in the interest of entertainment. Every word of my post is true. In fact, this post was the condensed version. I didn't even type up the specific conversations I had, nor the threat I received after I complained to the SIRC (the toothless oversight agency of CSIS). My wife was a witness to the threat I received. My wife was also present when we were held at the border and the guard advised me to contact my government. This in itself; the sharing of false information with another country is unacceptable.

Through understanding my circumstances I did a massive amount of research, read every book imaginable in regards to the apparatus in Canada (and other nations). The RCMP modeled their intelligence tactics after the East German Stasi in the 1970's. If you know anything about how they operated than you can understand why there are major democracy issues in Canada. The extent of persecution of Canadians is unmatched by the intelligence establishment, including a recent report that suggested that 85% of all residents in B.C had their name in an RCMP database. I wish I could find the link, I posted the article last year before the advent of the new D.U site. Even though they admitted that many of the names are based on thin relations with known felons and targets, they refused to "narrow down" those who were in the db. Would any such admittance of a DB that large be glossed over by American rights groups? I highly doubt it. Americans would storm the streets in protest.

In 1984 CSIS took over much of the covert operations from the RCMP. This was decided by Prime Minister Mulroney after the RCMP were caught red handed burning farms in Quebec and widespread agent provocateurs allegations. In effect, the same people who ran the covert arm of the RCMP also became leaders in CSIS. They simply quit and were rehired by CSIS. There is a close relationship between both organizations, simply presented as the Integrated National Security Enforcement Teams. According to the RCMP website this includes intelligence sharing at the border, with CSIS and provincial police. So in effect, if you are targetted by one entity all of the other entities are aware and can assist where needed. This multi level intelligence system in itself is some cause for concern, especially considering how much intelligence Canada shares with foreign nations.

If you have any specific questions about anything I typed please ask away, I would be happy to answer you. The persecution that I have experienced is not unique; not by a long shot. In fact, a Canadian businessman who was traveling in Arizona made headlines there when he went to the press about harassment he was experiencing by CSIS on American soil. I have stated it before and will continue to state that Canada cares little about intelligence; this is nothing but a high paying racket, manufacture threats, commit character assassinations if it benefits the "corporation. As a reasonable comparison, consider that the CIA suspected that Pakistan intelligence knew where Bin Laden was hiding but refused to report him to the Americans because as one agent put it, "it was extremely profitable to the Pakistani intelligence agents to have Bin Laden alive." Their government was throwing money at the Bin Laden search operation. Once he was caught, that money would dry up significantly...this is precisely how Canadian intel works. Keep the "boogeyman" label alive, and maintain funding and employment.

I think many Americans are shocked and surprised at how their "nice, friendly neighbour to the North" has such a powerful and ruthless intelligence apparatus acting against it's own citizens. Americans are so upset with the current degrading of their civil liberties, but this is a function of the fact that Americans enjoy the greatest freedoms. I challenge you to do some investigating on how many citizens coming from American soil; some American citizens many not, who were declined entry into Canada for no other reason than expressing an opinion that the establishment didn't like. This, after spending months speaking their mind on American soil.

A few years ago I cared little about politics, even less about the intelligence apparatus and it's mechanisms...this has changed out of necessity.
