On November 2224, 1996, for the first time in Canada, a host of diverse people critical researchers, scholars, union activists, and members of various other communities from across the country, including activists who had been on the receiving end of Canadas national security campaignsgathered at Laurentian University in Sudbury for a conference on national security. The broad-ranging meetings covered the gamut not only of national security campaigns against unions and the left, but also of state surveillance of university campuses, First Nations, immigrants, womens groups, gay men and lesbians, plus supporters of Quebec sovereignty. It addressed the impact of security campaigns on gender relations in the Cold War in a broader sense. The conference included a hands-on session on gaining access to security information. The event as a whole carried all the excitement of sharing ideas, comparing experiences, and exchanging research tips.

The conference had three main objectives: (1) to display the diverse forms of critical research going on across Canada regarding national security and security surveillance; (2) to develop an interdisciplinary focus not only spanning the boundaries of political science, history, sociology, and cultural studies but also moving beyond those disciplines by building critical studies of national security; and (3) to develop awareness among activists and researchers of how to gain access to security information, including the obstacles to access. The conference unanimously passed a motion calling for changes to the Access to Information and Privacy Acts to make it easier for this information to be released to the public and researchers (see Motion Regarding ATIP Recommendation).

This book is largely composed of papers originally given at the conference, and it therefore reflects the vibrant presentations and conversations of that event. Most of the papers have been substantially revised, and we have also added six essays, by Dieter K. Buse, Paula Maurutto, Mercedes Steedman, Christabelle Sethna, Zuhair Kashmeri, and Karen Pearlston. The result, we hope, reveals both the breadth of state surveillance in Canada and the impact of the security regime from a personal point of view.

The editors owe debts to many people. Terry Pender worked with us to organize the conference. Joanna Lam and Erika Espinoza were crucial to the running of the conference. We want to thank all the people who took part in and helped to organize the conference. Financial assistance for the conference was provided by INORD (Institute for Northern Ontario Research and Development, Laurentian University), the office of the Vice-President-Academic of Laurentian University, LURF (Laurentian University Research Fund), and SSHRC (Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council). Since the conference, Joanna Lam, Treanor Mahood-Greer, Barb Wendlowski, Rose-May Demor, Judy Malloy, Erika Espinoza, and Judith Buse have assisted us with this project. A LURF grant has also provided additional support for the publication. We thank our publisher, Between the Lines, in particular Paul Eprile, Peter Steven, and our editor Robert Clarke. We also thank the anonymous reviewers of the manuscript for their suggestions. Finally, we thank Labour/Le Travail for permission to reprint Paula Mauruttos revised article, Private Policing and Surveillance of Catholics, and to James Lorimer and Company for permission to reprint When CSIS Calls: Canadian Arabs, Racism, and the Gulf War, which is a section from Zuhair Kashmeris book, The Gulf Within.
