Top secret documents from Edward Snowdens cache have revealed Canadas ambition to become a big player in the world of electronic spying. The leak comes just as the country plans to vote on a law that would give its cyber agencies more powers.
FIG: A still from a CSE presentation obtained by CBC News.
A confidential presentation by Canadas intelligence agency Communications Security Establishment (CSE) dated 2011 was among the documents published jointly by the Canadian Broadcast Corporation and The Intercept, the website of investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald. In it, the counterpart of US National Security Agency (NSA) assures its Five Eyes allies US, UK, Australia and New Zealand that by 2015 it will seek the authority to conduct a wide spectrum of Effects operations in support of our mandates.

The C-51 bill, which would relax Canadas stringent policing and intelligence regulations, is currently being pushed through parliament by the ruling Conservative party in the cause of combatting terrorism, but is facing spirited resistance, including filibusters from the opposition. Public demonstrations have also been staged against the legislation, which has been criticized as vague, shadowy and intrusive.
The allegedly leaked presentation shows 32 techniques that could be employed by the CSE some defensive, others proactive.
