…you know what they say.
The Canadian military’s counter-intelligence unit considered the yearly Valentine’s Day vigils for murdered and missing Indigenous women as a potential source for “extremism” and “civil unrest,” according to a document released to APTN National News. The heavily redacted, seven-page counterintelligence report compiled by the Canadian Forces National Counterintelligence Unit was obtained under the Access to Information Act.
“Counter-intelligence.” Quite.
UPDATE: A Facebook friend raises a good point. Our military is spying on Canadian citizens, on Canadian soil. Is that part of its mandate? Is it legal?
