CIA May Have Illegally Accessed Canadian Bank Records
Canada's privacy commissioner is investigating whether U.S. officials and the CIA were improperly given access to the banking records of Canadians. While declining to comment further on the American program specifically, a spokeswoman for the privacy commissioner's office said that, in general, "anytime personal information of Canadians is obtained by a foreign government in circumstances that may not provide the same privacy protections that exist in Canada, we have concerns."
