Something has gone very wrong with the secret security / intelligence apparatus in Canada. CSIS is out of control and Canada’s politicians seem too scared of them to ensure proper oversight.
While it’s true that rules and regulations may bind ordinary citizens, many examples prove that power-elites need not concern themselves with such petty details if they are close to their own security / intelligence agencies. This article describes how, where CSIS is involved, Canada’s entire legal, government and policing system seems to shut down.

A very Orwellian story - when security / intelligence agencies start using Stasi-style secret police tactics against innocent citizens everybody’s liberties are threatened.
