Brazilian President Demands Explanation from Canada over Spying Report 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff is demanding an explanation from
Canada after reports a Canadian intelligence agency spied on Brazil's
mining and energy sector. A Brazilian TV report based on leaks from
Edward Snowden given to Brazil-based journalist Glenn Greenwald said
Canada targeted the communications of the former Brazilian ambassador to
Canada as well as those of staff at the ministry managing Brazil's vast
energy reserves. In a Twitter post, Rousseff said, "The United States
and its allies must immediately stop their spying activity once and for
all."
