Jesse Brown insists he’s done nothing wrong
Banned from Reddit and accused of phishing critics, Canadaland’s founder is leading a chaotic 'investigation' into an army of sockpuppet accounts
NEW: Today marks 2 years since Israel killed a Canadian aid worker in Gaza. But Canadian MPs have abandoned public calls for accountability for his death.
This is part of a broader trend, where MPs seem to quickly forget about Canadians killed by Israel. www.readthemaple.com/say-their-na...
NEW: Global Affairs Canada may have simply scrubbed the word "Israel" from an artillery propellant contract with the USA without receiving any assurance that the goods would not end up in Israel.

"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.
There is a race to the bottom going in with Freedom of Information laws across the country, at every level of government.
A couple of years ago, British Columbia tripled processing fees, justifying it by saying that Alberta charged the same fee.

Lockheed Martin Supplies War On Iran As Canada Reviews F-35 Deal
Nearly half of Canadians oppose the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.

The government proposes "allowing institutions to extend response timelines when they receive multiple access requests from the same person." This is fucking insane.
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...
NEW: Lockheed Martin is playing a key role in arming the U.S.-Israeli war of aggression on Iran.
