Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff says Canada has violated her country's sovereignty and demanded an explanation for "unacceptable" spying carried out by Communications Security Establishment Canada on Brazil's Ministry of Mines and Energy.
The spying was revealed Sunday night by Brazil's flagship investigative program Fantastico, in a report made by Sonia Bridi and the American journalist Glenn Greenwald, who lives in Rio. It is based on documents from the former U.S. National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden.
