"This is a violation of international diplomatic protocols and agreements. This definitely infringes on my human rights or my charter rights," Lukaszuk told CBC News in an interview.
Former Alberta PC leadership candidate Thomas Lukaszuk believes he's a target for his activism against a controversial Polish pastor, Father Tadeusz Rydzyk, who has private radio and television stations in Poland. Lukaszuk said for years he dismissed rumours that the Polish foreign affairs department was soliciting information about him and directing individuals to also gather information about him."Until I received a proverbial, because it was electronic, but a proverbial brown envelope."
"It definitely sent chills down my spine that as a Polish Canadian who lives in Canada more than 40 years, that government is still dispatching its officials in Canada to gather information that isn't publicly available," "This is not a good idea for any country to be doing through their diplomats," said Maria Popova, an associate professor in political science at McGill University.
