According to reports, it wasn't just the FBI tracking the movements of John Lennon and Yoko Ono during the height of their peace protest period in the seventies - the Mounties got in on the act too. Apparently, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police spied on the couple ahead of a three day peace festival they planned to take place in Ontario in the seventies, according to a document recently obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access To Information Act. The festival was ultimately abandoned, despite plans to invite high profile guests, and to syndicate the idea elsewhere in the globe.
