The FOI system is broken, with fees, delays and redactions all being used today to prevent access. But the NDP’s Bill 22 will make it significantly worse #bcpoli #bill22failure 1/13 theorca.ca/resident-pod/w…
The @BCLiberalCaucus is one of the most frequent users of the FOI system, and so far this year has filed 2,180 FOI requests to ministries, crown corporations, health authorities, school boards, and other agencies and jurisdictions 2/13
The high volume of requests from the Opposition reflects a number of factors. In many cases, gathering information on a single topic requires multiple FOI requests as responsive records can exist in more than one ministry, school district, health authority etc 3/13

140+ pages on a Friday is a lot to digest, but @lilianedwards' "penumbra of often futile determinedly populist ideas largely not evidence-based" seems entirely consistent with @DCMS's Drunkard's Walk through #data and #ID this past year...
Under #FreedomOfInformation we asked @dfat @Australia 's Foreign Minister @MarisePayne why was Senior General Min Aung Hlaing of #Myanmar not added to the to the consolidated list of persons & entities subject to financial #sanctions. While EU, US, UK has already done so.

#Sanctions are how governments put pressure on each other, but #Australia has shielded the #Myanmar military's highest ranking perpetrator from them- and continues to "cozy up" with him at diplomatic meetings @hrw hrw.org/news/2020/02/2…

#MikePompeo on lying:
"When I was a cadet, what was the cadet motto at West Point? 'You will not lie, cheat or steal, or tolerate those who do'? I was the CIA Director. We lied, we cheated, we stole. It was like - we had entire training courses!"
