Who’s Watching Whom: An Examination of Canadian Privacy and Surveillance

Earlier this week I was pleased to speak at the monthly Geek Girls Toronto event. Hosted at the Mozilla offices, a sold-out audience showed yet again that there is enormous public interest and concern with recent privacy and surveillance developments. A video of the talk, which focused on the problems associated with lawful access, privacy reform, and surveillance, is posted below.

    Major Conflicts of Interest Relating to Bills Harper & his Government Are Pushing Through
    The evidence proves that there are major conflicts of interests relating to the bill’s Harper & his government are pushing through, and here are just a few important examples…

    Harper & his government are major partners with the mega private corporation, CGI, who do the spying and data collection for the NSA and CSEC. The evidence proves that Harper & his government have awarded CGI contracts worth BILLIONS, placing thousands of CGI employees into almost EVERY department of our government, and Harper even made a primary member of CGI’s Board of Directors, a major CGI stockholder, GG…

    To view much more evidence on this issue proving the serious conflicts of interest that exist relating to this issue, including substantial evidence proving CGI are unlawfully using the extreme access they have to Canadians most private and personal information to commit crimes against Canadians to serve their private and financial interests, and the interests of their clients, open link below…

  3. Running with it
    CGI is a one stop shop, eh?

    Seems they touch most every aspect of our lives (from wiki):

    Communications
    Financial
    Banking and financial markets
    Insurance
    Government
    Central and federal government
    Defense and intelligence
    Health and human services
    State, provincial and local government
    Public safety and justice
    Tax, revenue and collections
    Space
    Health
    Manufacturing
    Oil and Gas
    Posts and logistics
    Retail and consumer services
    Transportation
    Utilities

    Yet we don’t really hear much about them (in terms of privacy and who accesses what).

    Also, with a 400-million dollar gov contract (that’s just the email system) with Bell-CGI, I now see why Bell was “apprehensive” in giving more detail to the privacy commissioner in regards to all the data they give away about their subscribers.

    TY for bringing CGI on the radar (for me anyhow).

    Would be very interesting to know what info CGI sells about Canadian people, and to whom.
