Tommy Douglas, Stephen Harper and spy files

Tommy Douglas is far from the only politician to have been followed by the RCMP or CSIS but given his iconic stature with many Canadians his files have attracted plenty of attention.

What might be surprising is the possibility that the current prime minister, Stephen Harper has secret files about his early political activities.

We were able to ask the PM about this possibility and about releasing secret files while he was in Vancouver today.

Stay tuned for more.
