So here's the scenario. I was speaking with my girlfriend about Mossads involvement in the state sanctioned killings(I believe they called them executions in Israel) of the 18 black September members after the Olympic hostage situation. We then segued into the US MKULTRA project and how astoundingly awful some of the things they did was. Anywho, this led us to wonder how prevelant high level "black ops" were throughout the world. To challenge ourselves to find a country that seemed overall benign we settled on Canada. After an admittedly short amount of research I couldn't find really anything about Canada behaving badly on the upper echelon. So I bring this question to y'all. Please do tell if Canada has any skeletons in their closet.
Well, there was Defence Scheme Number 1. The Canadian plan for the pre-emptive invasion of the United States.

But to be fair the US actually conducted exercises, built 3 airfields, authorized the pre-emptive use of poison gas and the Destruction of Halifax harbour by area bombing as part of their plan to invade Canada. So we kind of gave up on the notion in 1930.
During the second world war Camp X, the School for mayhem and murder was operated in Canada.

At Camp X SOE commandos were trained before being dropped behind enemy lines in occupied Europe. Very cloak and dagger stuff.
Recently Brazil got annoyed at Canada for spying on them:
And Snowden has implicated Canadian spy agencies in collaborating with the NSA

I guess we're kind of boring recently.
Sorry.
Though you might want to look into Joint Task Force 2
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (roughly equivalent to the FBI) have been caught doing a few naughty things, much related to 'combating' the separatists in the 70's. Pretty tame compared to other countries.
This led to a ban on any espionage and the creation of a separate agency, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service in the early 80's.
