An invoice obtained through a federal Access to Information request allows Canada’s National Observer to reveal a report commissioned by the RCMP, spying on activists' online activities

“The underlying problem here is that the RCMP is presuming that a person who is engaged in environmental activism, necessarily, is a higher risk for engaging in criminal behaviour — that somehow, that you’re voicing dissent, that you pose a risk of criminality,” Jack said, “and that that gives the police the authority to be investigating you, following you, collecting information about you.”
