YouTube Description
as posted by the channelEvery major Western power has a foreign intelligence service that collects information on the intents and capabilities of foreign states. Except Canada. We do allow CSIS to collect foreign intelligence as it is called, but in a very constrained way - why?
In this Quick Hits episode, Borealis looks at a recent court ruling and comments on this silliness.

Judge denies CSIS request to collect foreign intelligence. A court has put the brakes on a Canadian Security Intelligence Service request to collect foreign information, ruling a proposed technique would stray beyond the spy service's legal mandate. The service was seeking court warrants so it could gather intelligence in other countries, from a location inside Canada, to at the request of an unnamed federal minister. The spy service is allowed to collect information about threats to national security anywhere in the world, but there are limits on gathering intelligence unrelated to security outside Canada.
Section 16 of the CSIS Act allows the service to collect, within Canada, foreign intelligence relating to the capabilities, intentions or activities of any foreign state, as long as the informationgathering is not aimed at Canadians.
