Sounds like what you're saying is that because CSIS does some legitimate things it means they don't also do less legitimate things, like harass/spy on activists.

Perhaps the confusion is because CSIS spying on people is a legit thing.

Writing cryptography tools, and activism in general, aren't illegal and people who don't break laws should not be spied on or harassed.

[tedunangst]

If they knew who the lawbreakers were, they wouldn't need to spy on anyone.

Good logic to justify blanket domestic surveillance.
