Anything to say about this Canada? ISIS threat could mute objections to expanded anti-terror laws, critics fear ONCE WE GIVE UP OUR RIGHTS AND LIBERTIES, ITS VERY HARD TO GET THEM BACK Says Elizabeth May (Blaney, who was joined on Thursday by senior officials from both CSIS and the RCMP, shared the highlights, including new provisions to allow the agency to track homegrown extremists abroad and extend witness protection to confidential sources. Now, more than ever, a radical individual or group of motivated extremists with access to technology can do significant harm to Canada from thousands of miles away, he told reporters.) It seems like what theyre trying to do is get around the gap in the CSIS Act that was identified by Justice [Richard] Mosley in his decision — theyre basically allowing CSIS to operate overseas in a way that the current act doesnt, she noted. In a landmark ruling handed down last year, Mosley concluded CSIS had misled the court on the scope and extent of its efforts to get foreign intelligence agencies to spy on Canadians. That was a deliberate decision that was made by Parliament to not have CSIS be like the CIA, for example, and limit its scope, Cheung said. cbc.ca/news/politics/isis-threat-could-mute-objections-to-expanded-anti-terror-laws-critics-fear-1.2801884 -D
