Link:How is this even possible? This was done to Canadians by our own military?
“senior military leaders viewed the pandemic as a chance to test out propaganda techniques on Canadians”
“Canadian Armed Forces violated intelligence gathering rules during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020”
“the forces went too far and eroded public confidence”
“the military … was excited about trying to influence how people think”
“One of the units involved … didn't have a background in intelligence”
“There weren't enough government-issued laptops … so they had to use their own from home.”
“the team gathered information about Canadians that the government and military's top commander didn't explicitly ask them to collect”
“The team also didn't immediately delete the information as required”
“this team went beyond what the mission required by monitoring the Black Lives Matter movement”
“This unit failed to log information it inadvertently collected about Canadians”
“All three units gathering intelligence failed to use tools that concealed their identity, which risked exposing the military's work and trade secrets”
