It's no longer news that the
National Security Agency is spying on the leaders of the United States'
closest allies. But it is news that one of our closest allies, Canada,
helped us spy on leaders at the G8 and G20 Summits in 2010, according to
the latest leaks by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. According to a
Canadian Broadcasting Company report, the US "turned its Ottawa embassy
into a security command post during a six-day spying operation by the
[NSA] while U.S. President Barack Obama and 25 other foreign heads of
government were on Canadian soil in June of 2010. The covert U.S.
operation was no secret to Canadian authorities." RT's Meghan Lopez
talks with Steve Anderson, the executive director of OpenMedia, a group
that works to safeguard the Internet, about Canadian complicity in NSA
spying.
