So basically, Canada is tapping HTTP to popular sites and logging the IPs and URLs for later searching and correlation, on undisclosed grounds.
For most people that probably means in practice Canada knows who you are what you download, and has it available for searching on a whim. As disgusting as it is, I think the technical among us already assume every spy agency everywhere is doing at least this much behind closed doors, so it's not a shocking revelation.
My reaction can best be summarized as sadness. I was never under the impression my home country was somehow better than the states, but it's sad to have evidence of that.
