"Anonymous sources" from inside governments are not a substitute for this. Such sources nearly always leak information for a specific agenda or narrative that benefits their government.

FOI is one of the only tools we have to circumvent spin and deception.

We're witnessing the slow death of FOI in Canada. Governments, including the feds, have been getting away with it for years.

As I noted recently, this is paired with increasingly protective government comms teams who treat the concept of transparency with absolute contempt.

NEW: HonestReporting Canada continues employing a guy charged with allegedly spray-painting “FUCK GAZA” (charges were later dropped). That hasn’t stopped media from giving in to their demands. And it didn’t stop Parliament from inviting them to speak this week.

Information commissioner ‘disappointed’ by lack of federal ambition on access reform Information commissioner says most of the complaints her office receives relate to the failure to respond to applications for documents within legislated timelines.

We functionally do not have a legislated Access to Information system in Canada.

Federal departments face zero consequences for simply ignoring the rules. They are effectively allowed to only hand over documents if they feel like it. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...
