War Dept: Canadian and Government Agencies

war dept: It also contradicts Trudeau's October 25 public declaration that nobody, ever, deserves to be tortured, according to Rabble. Readers may recall the infamous Harper-era torture memos of 2011 that allowed a range of government agencies, including the Canadian Security Intelligence Service CSIS the Royal Canadian Mounted Police RCMP Canadian Border Services Agency CBSA the Communications Security Establishment CSE and the War Dept. to trade information with torturers. This barbaric decision the kind smug Liberals would like to think is more appropriate to the Donald Trumps and Stephen Harpers of the world is part of the Trudeau team's efforts to pretty up the dangerous C-51 anti-terrorism act that they supported while in opposition. Such memos placed the Canadian government in contravention of legally binding commitments against complicity in torture. Instead, Goodale will continue to build on the concept of torture controls, which require the creation and maintenance of a bureaucratic torture infrastructure dedicated to determining who gets tortured, under what circumstances, and who is provided immunity for engaging in such illegality. But in a classic Liberal solution, Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale decided in September, via a series of new memos, to continue defying the absolute prohibition on torture.
