The RCMP has acknowledged it uses spyware to hack phones, including by remotely turning on a device's camera or microphone. politi.co/3OwTTjE

One thing I genuinely appreciate about our Politico Canada Playbook readers is how much mildly belligerent email we get for using American spelling. Trust me, folks — we're with you. If it were up to us, we'd favour "neighbours," too. politico.com/newsletters/ot…

The RCMP says it has used spyware to hack dozens of mobile devices since 2017, but it hasn't used Pegasus software. politico.com/news/2022/08/0…

RCMP officials at the ethics committee say one of the times spyware was used was to investigate an RCMP officer. Seems like that may have been Cameron Ortis? cbc.ca/news/canada/rc…

MPs on the ethics committee keep referring to spyware having been used by the RCMP since 2012. The RCMP actually testified yesterday that they've been using technology to bypass encryption since 2002, not 2012.
