Canada's former National police force is now Canada's "State Police" controlled by the PMO

OTTAWA—When Halifax professor Darryl Leroux helped organize a public panel discussion in Montreal last year, he did not expect to end up in an RCMP report.
 

But that’s what happened when Leroux’s event at Concordia University in Montreal last September became one of hundreds of lectures, public gatherings, vigils and protests observed by federal departments and law-enforcement agencies since 2006.
 

Ottawa has been keeping tabs on hundreds of public events and demonstrations both at home and around the world, according to documents published by the Star on Thursday. After events are observed by departments, details are collected centrally by the Government Operations Centre, an agency that prepares the federal government’s response to emergencies.
 

Leroux said he was surprised to find his public panel discussion was on that list.
