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.

Outlining the role Canada played in the- Vietnam war, the article Says: ‘Canadian intelligence, functioning in opposition to official government policy, provided the CIA with invaluable assistance throughout the whole U.S. ad- venture in Vietnam. All In- ternational Control Commission reports were sent to the CIA via the Joint Intelligence Committee (which later became «the In- telligence Advisory Committee)”.
