[Billy]

In my opinion, amongst all the noise and drama that we have been living through this last wee while, This is one of the most intelligent and balanced views i have heard. Edwards answer to the womans question at the 1hr mark regarding surveillance and privacy hit high on the truth meter for me.

Thank you Edward Snowden. :bowing:

McGill University from Montréal hosted on 2 november 2016 via video conference, Edward Snowden. The conference took place during ongoing revelations that numerous Quebec investigative journalists had been surveilled for years by the Montreal Police.

Snowden's comments on these developments fuel the dialogue and debate on the right to privacy, journalistic integrity and the surveillance state.

A few quotes from Snowden at McGill University :

"If you want to build a better country, you're going to have to do it yourself."

''This election cycle is all about the candidates' personalities rather than the actual constitution.''

''We have news stories about it, but we have no idea what the government is doing for real.''

''The story about Montreal police spying on a journalist for to uncover sources is a radical attack on the free press. ''

"How do we maintain a free society in the context of an unlimited government? "

''Law is beginning to fail as a guarantor of our lives, says Snowden. Because gov. can get around law when it wants.''

''We all need to recognize and be cautious when putting all of our hope in a political candidate, says Snowden. ''

To meditate....

Edward Snowden's lawyer said US President-elect Donald Trump would closely review the whistleblower's case

US whistleblower Edward Snowden's lawyer Anatoly Kucherena expressed hope on Friday that US President-elect Donald Trump would closely consider the situation with information disclosure by Snowden, stressing that there were no reasons to extradite the whistleblower.

"I think that the new US President-elect Donald Trump will definitely put on agenda the issue of citizens' rights and freedoms. Since this is an inevitable process, he will also pay attention to the role played by Edward Snowden's disclosure of information on the total invasion into private life of the US citizens," Kucherena said.

He added that after regarding the situation closely, Trump's assistants would "inevitably come to the conclusion that Edward Snowden acted in the interests of the US citizens." Kucherena stressed that in case Trump (https://sputniknews.com/tags/tag_Donald_Trump/) justified Snowden's actions, the majority of the US citizens would "strongly support him in all decisions and planned reforms."

The lawyer added that there were no reasons to talk about Snowden's possible extradition due to the election of a new president.

Kucherena called the talks about the whistleblower's extradition speculation aimed at convincing Russian and US authorities that he should be extradited.

"In this case Russia must act exclusively within the framework of domestic legislation and related international regulations," the lawyer said.

In 2013, Snowden leaked classified documents pertaining to mass surveillance practices carried out by US authorities around the globe. The same year, Russia granted the whistleblower temporary asylum for one year. In August 2014, Snowden received a three-year residence permit to live in Russia.

In the United States, Snowden faces up to 30 years in prison on charges of espionage and theft of government property.

Excellent point Hervé :)

The billionaire elected had tweeted in 2014 that "Snowden has caused great damage in the United States. A spy, at the time when our country was respected and strong, would have been executed. " An execution that would be greatly facilitated by the Obama administration, which had decided to sue Edward Snowden under the Espionage Act, an old federal law of 1917 that forbade him to defend himself with a jury. Let see what is going to happen.
