Bill C-51: First Nation chief warns labour activists about jail time

A First Nation leader, who went to jail defending his community's traditional territory in northern Ontario, is warning other activists about the risks of government spying posed by Bill C-51.

Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug Chief Donny Morris already has the documents to show that the RCMP and government officials were spying on his community during a mining dispute in 2008.

He filed an access to information request on Thursday to discover the extent of the surveillance and called on other First Nations to do the same.

"Eventually if you're categorized as a terrorist, you're going to be spending the rest of your life in prison and for myself, spending time in jail for our action, I didn't really appreciated that," Morris told CBC News. "It was humiliating."
