US Corporations collect intelligence on Canadians

In the US, a new model of law enforcement has emerged in which police, military, security contractors and large corporations are collaborating on intelligence gathering.

β€œI am sure the data [US] companies collect on Canadian citizens is routinely shared with their headquarters in the United States,” he said. β€œIs consumer information being collected in Canada that is shared across the border and [then] being brought back to [Canadian] law enforcement in violation of privacy regulations? If the answer is ‘we don’t know’, that’s a problem, and if the answer is ‘we don’t think so’, that is still a problem. Because nobody is overseeing these intelligence activities it makes it very difficult to know the extent of the abuse.”
