Request Summary: I write to make an Access to Information Act request regarding Earle Birney which is likely contained in the RCMP records tranferred to the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. Birney died in 1995. As a public intellectual and poet, this is well documented, for example http://canaduan-writers.athabascau.ca/english/writers/ebirney.php Birney was a member of the Left Opposition (i.e. Trotskyists) in Toronto, Vancouver and Salt Lake City during the 1930s. He sometimes used the pseudonym E. Roberston. I am seeking a copy of any files maintained by the RCMP regarding Birney and his political activity.
