> * Due to this, and the RCMP going bananas in other ways (eg, burning down barns on private property because bikers were legally meeting there....), parliament disbanded the RCMP's domestic and international "spy" departments.
So one of the five eyes activities I found which involved the RCMP (I'm based in the UK), was putting a tiny picture of a full stop (period/dot/whatever you want to call it), at the end of sentences in various web forums. If your broadband was slow, like in the dialup days, before the image had downloaded, web browsers would put a placeholder square or rectangle where the image would eventually appear. I saw this on some forums, so naturally I traced the image back to Canadian webservers. It was their way of tracking who was reading what threads on a forum, but not the only way!
You will find the security services sacrifice many innocent members of the public even kids, in the 5eyes countries, its how the security services effect change when they cant manipulate or blackmail the politicians. There is also a lot of collusion between the Police and the security services, its totally criminal!
Hey, could you please stop posting unsubstantive and/or flamebait comments, and especially personal swipes, to HN? You've unfortunately been doing that a lot lately, and we ban that sort of account. It's not what this site is for, and it destroys what it is for.
