Magazine exposes

Canada is far too deeply and
often blindly mixed up with the
Central Intelligence Agency,
and the spying relationships
are so close that the U.S. in-
telligence community and
defense establishment con-
sider Canada as merely an
extension of the United States,
in a northward direction.

These points are made in a
feature article in the July issue of
Maclean’s Magazine entitled,
“How We Help the CIA Spy on
Canada.” The article was written
by Bill Macadam and James R.
Dubro, who researched the
material for the CBC television
documentary ‘The FIfth Estate,”
shown some months ago.

The writers charge that the
bombing of the Montreal Cuban
Trade Mission in 1972 was
engineered by the CIA in co-
operation with Canadian in-
telligence officials, and was aimed
at getting copies of secret Cuban
files into the hands of the CIA. One
Cuban, 25 year old Sergio Perez,
was killed in the explosion.

The CBC documentary prepared
by the two writers broke the story
that Canada’s National Research

ouncil’s northern installations
were collecting spy materials for
the CIA. The Communications
Branch of the National Research
Council (CBNRC) is Canada’s
largest intelligence agency, and
operates under an agreement with
U.S. intelligence agencies which
Maclean’s describes as “in-
credible.”

Through this agreement, says
Maclean’s, ‘Canada, along with
the United Kingdom, Australia and
New Zealand, undertake to con-
duct signals intelligence (i.e.
eavesdrop) in their respective
areas of influence, for the United
States. This covers military data,
shipping, civil and diplomatic
communications around the

az?
Sate article points out that
Canada provides data collected on
sub-Artic Russia (much of it
collected through northern
Canadian military installations

such as Alert and the DEW Line)
and other material which comes
from diplomatic sources. It says
that the RCMP also maintains a
close relationship with the CIA,
and that Inspector Harry Brandes,
a 20-year veteran of RCMP in-
telligence, co-ordinates with both
the CIA and Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI).

“Everybody helps each other in
a complicated mass of in-
terrelationships,’’ says the
Maclean’s article and adds that the
CIA also conducts clandestine
operations in Canada without
clearing them through the RCMP.
“Usually,” when these are
discovered, the RCMP either
requests removal of the agents, or
asks for authority to supervize the
agents themselves. (In other
countries, discovery of a CIA man
may result in a jail term or even
death). This suits both parties in
that it allows the RCMP to retain a
semblance of control over. clan-
destine operations, and it allows
the CIA to conduct them with a
minimum of interference.”

According to the exposure in
Maclean’s, the ‘special
relationship’ between the CIA and
various organizations in Canada

also extends to other: than official
channels; there is also a great deal
of low-level cooperation. ‘When
the agency (CIA) wants to. know
about the activities of an American
here, a CIA operative simply rings
up his counterpart in the RCMP.
Similarly when the CIA’s covert
bureau undertakes a major
operation in Canada, such as the
Cuban Trade -Mission bombing,
they simply make arrangements
with their Canadian counterpart,’
says the article.
