Everyday the people of Canada climb onto a computer and pump out personal information to thousands of people, companies and governments that do nothing (24 hours) a day but collect this data. Who is to blame? We are? For some unknown reason Canadians are all to happy for a moments gratification to answer any question on line.
Banks, Insurance Companies, etc. trade and sell your personal information (world wide) daily. I can guarantee that a company in China can tell you what colour underwear you have on this morning, the maker and what it cost. Governments in Canada sell your information world wide to security firms, foreign governments etc. ; an agency in China knows everything relevant about your life i.e. age, sex, physical description, address, income, habits, political leanings, sexual preference and criminal record from parking tickets to criminal investigations etc. During the 1960s it was illegal for the RCMP and the FBI to tap phone calls in Canada and USA respectively. So they got togeather and Canada intercepted USA calls of US interest and the USA recipricated in kind.
Intelligence is basically, in todays world, "telecommunication intercepts". There was in the 1990s such a intercept being run out of Langley, B.C. by Canadian Forces. Yes I said Canadian Forces; not the RCMP or CSIS but Canadian Forces. The military in this country intercept Federal MP comunications right down to police stations all over Canada.
