(Opinion from someone north of the border): The good thing about being Canadian is we live mostly American-style lives but don't have to deal with stuff like this lol (or at least it doesn't look like it, but someone can correct me if we have secret PRISM projects too).
The bad thing is we have no say in what happens down there, and we are dependent on many services the US provides (not that I'm complaining, but PRISM stuff isn't comforting heh).
On the basis of secret government directives, Canada’s national security apparatus is conducting mass surveillance of Canadians parallel to, if not directly patterned after, the domestic spying operations of the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA).
You realize that 99% of Canadian traffic is routed through the USA right, and that sharing data between US agencies and CSIS is normal? Also we already seem to have our own PRISM that does not have a fancy name and no one is willing to talk about.
