February 7 Toronto Gay activist […]

Description
February 7 Toronto Gay activist Peter Maloney claimed in an interview with a reporter from the Globe and Mail that he believed that Metropolitan Toronto police had been intercepting and opening his personal mail, which was illegal. Maloney had been tipped off in October 1980 by an anonymous postal clerk. Representatives of the police denied that they interfered with the mail, and Maloney's complaints to the office of Canada's Solicitor General Robert Kaplan were ineffective. In 2007 it was confirmed that both Maloney and fellow activist George Hislop were under police surveillance for years.
