As they argue, what makes Canada unique among Western countries is its insistent focus of its surveillance inwards, and usually against Canadian citizens.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSecret Service\u003c\/em\u003e highlights the many tensions that arise when undercover police and their covert methods are deployed too freely in a liberal democratic society.
