Remember that RIM being in Canada, will be working with SIS.
SIS works very closely with the UK
And there are fewer restraints on the SIS than on FBI/NSA/CIA etc.
Canada has the Official Secrets Act, which allows prior restraint of publication of any information. US avoids prior restraint.
There is no 4 th Amendment, but extensive precedent - but that precedent is not as strong.
Fourth Amendment – Protection from unreasonable search and seizure.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

I hate to be crude, but why would you trust ANYBODY ?
You know Canada is in bed with the UK, and does deals with the US, and the UK and US trade information....
And it is reasonable to expect, based on history, that the Russians may have some penetration of one or more agencies. |
