I was a little upset at your post, until I realized I was pissed AND from Canada...

So are any Americans actually upset about this, or do us foreigners care more about your country than you guys do?

Trust me, plenty of us are pissed while still being from the United States - not that the media will ever tell you that.

Being in Canada, too, I think people here are just as apathetic as those in the US over things like this, maybe even more so.

I don't trust CSEC to not be spying on me any more than I'd trust NSA.

You're right. And it'll definitely have to be looked into (I haven't looked into it yet to be honest). The main issue I have with the NSA debacle isn't the act, which you could argue is mainstream, it's the procedures. It should require a warrant to even access someone's data. It should never be monitored of stored without suspicion, and it should be left to a court warrant in plain view not in a secret court.

Going with that, I'll have to research our procedures up here.
