National Security and Political Interest

intimidating: As scary and intimidating this argument sounds, murky and hollow it turns out to be, according to Huffington Post Canada. Indeed, we can never know for sure, if the concern of "national security" is real or simply a good pretext that would benefit the political interest of the government rather than the public interest. This behaviour is in total contradiction with what is written by the Privacy Act. Similarly, another argument often evoked by the government for not providing us with answers is the "national security" argument. Unfortunately, this apparent obsession with privacy seems to be very selective. On the other side, when information about citizens are being threatened or shared with government agencies without their knowledge or consent, the government doesn't seem to be much caring or to say the least outraged. In fact, we noticed that when individual cases would benefit out of disclosing information about them to activists and groups, the government is adamant about privacy. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
