From the RCMP on down, the S.I.C are a national security threat to Canada AND America. This is well known now, in some cases in very granular and specific detail.
The world views Canada differently, and Ontario in particular is going to be a steep price in tariffs and distrust, regardless of any future trade deal.
Five years and still no transparency by the police. Does Canada share American values?
Jamie Jelinski feels a bit like David — and the Toronto police are his Goliath.
The trouble is, he's worried that this time Goliath might win.
Jelinski filed a freedom of information (FOI) request to Toronto police in June 2020 for records concerning the facial recognition technology Clearview AI after the police service admitted to using the controversial tool beginning in October 2019 and committed to stop using it in February of the following year.
Jelinski said he filed the request hoping to learn how Clearview AI is used in practice — all part of his research into visual identification techniques and technologies used by Canadian law enforcement. But nearly five years later, the visual culture scholar still hasn't received all of the responsive records, despite paying police more than $200 for the remaining 1,100 pages of emails last July.
