It has been traditionally believed that any U.S. Central Intelligence Agency activity in Canada would be undertaken with the "general consent" of the Canadian government, and through the 1950s information was freely given to the CIA in return for information from the United States.〔Vienneau, David. Toronto Star, "No secrets hidden from CIA in 1950s, former official says", April 14, 1986〕〔Canadian Institute of International Affairs, "International Journal, 1972"〕 However, traditionally Canada has refused to voice any anger even when it was clear that the CIA was operating without any authorisation.〔Sawatsky, John. "Men in the Shadows: The RCMP Security Service", 1980. p. 5〕 Apologists have noted that Canada was vital to CIA operations as it "physically occupied the territory between the United States and the Soviet Union.〔 However, on May 28, 1975 Solicitor General Warren Allmand directed the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) to begin investigating the levels of CIA involvement in Canadian affairs.〔Buncher, Judith F. "The CIA and the Security Debate", 1976〕 Today, the country continues to cooperate with the CIA, enabling their black sites, allowing ghost planes to land and refuel in Canada, en route to delivering prisoners to unknown locations.〔USA Today, (Declassified memos show 74 CIA air landings in Canada ), February 23, 2006〕 ==Project MKULTRA== The CIA convinced the Allan Memorial Institute to allow a series of mind control tests on nine patients in the Montreal school, as part of their ongoing Project MKULTRA.〔Cawley, Janet. Chicago Tribune, (Brainwash tests in '57 haunt CIA ), June 1, 1986〕 The experiments were exported to Canada when the CIA recruited Scottish psychiatrist Donald Ewen Cameron, creator of the "psychic driving" concept, which the CIA found particularly interesting. Cameron had been hoping to correct schizophrenia by erasing existing memories and reprogramming the psyche. He commuted from Albany, New York to Montreal every week and was paid $69,000 from 1957 to 1964 to carry out MKULTRA experiments there. In addition to LSD, Cameron also experimented with various paralytic drugs as well as electroconvulsive therapy at thirty to forty times the normal power. His "driving" experiments consisted of putting subjects into drug-induced coma for weeks at a time (up to three months in one case) while playing tape loops of noise or simple repetitive statements. His experiments were typically carried out on patients who had entered the institute for minor problems such as anxiety disorders and postpartum depression, many of whom suffered permanently from his actions.〔Marks 1979: pp 140–150.〕 His treatments resulted in victims' incontinence, amnesia, forgetting how to talk, forgetting their parents, and thinking their interrogators were their parents. When lawsuits commenced in 1986, the Canadian government denied having any knowledge that Cameron was being sponsored by the CIA.〔Vienneau, David.
