It's good to know that Professor Deibert has developed a belated interest in promoting the civic rights of Canadians. In 2010, he and colleagues at the University of Toronto's Munk School of Global Affairs (seen by the Harper Government as kindred spirits) received a $25 million grant to launch a shell entity called the "Canada Centre for Global Security Studies" which was dissolved in 2014 after the bulk of the funds were spent on clandestine security contractors. It took an official Freeedom of Information Request for the University of Toronto to reveal (broadly) how the funds were spent!! See these links and judge for yourself:
