Is Canadian intelligence to blame for this man's 14 years of incarceration?
Mohamedou Ould Slahi is not a Canadian citizen. He's Mauritanian. But he did spend a few weeks in Canada, and during that time he was watched. It is that evidence gathered by Canadian authorities, he claims, that led to his eventual detention and torture, and 14 years in security facilities. Now he's suing the Canadian government for $30 million. How did a few weeks in Montreal change his life, and how much is our government to blame? GUEST: Michelle Shephard, terrorism and human rights reporter, filmmaker and podcaster
