The Licence to look away
A surveillance camera on a wall in the occupied West Bank, flagging a hoodie, a movement pattern—Canadian-funded, Israeli-built, later deployed on Greek refugees, now aimed inward through Bill C-22. On Nancy Perin, a forensic tracing of Canadian foreign policy from Stephen Harper’s Christian Zionist alignment and his venture capital in Israeli military surveillance tech, through Mark Carney’s “principled and pragmatic” doctrine and its Defence, Security and Resilience Bank. The story Canada keeps telling itself about its values—and the policy record that contradicts it sentence by sentence.
