Welund’s services are offered in a format designed to thwart access to information requests. Instead of sending intelligence reports to government officials by email, they publish them on their own secure site, where government officials are able to sign in and access them. Because the documents are never in the possession of the government, they can’t be compelled to disclose them.
I'm waiting to see Albertans be happy about this until one of them is personally caught up in this bs.
F'ing Hellberta spending taxpayer's money on secretive crap is just so on par for its current gov't.
edit to add ... and f'k the feds for doing the same damned thing.
Jayzuz. :/
I think Canadian governments have been doing that since forever, but it's getting harder and harder to use cops/intelligence agencies for that bullshit so they're having to outsource it.
The privatization of everything continues.
UCP politians paying their buddies big bucks and hiding information from the Albertans they supposedly serve. What else is news. Fuck those cowards; every UCP voter can go to hell.
What's going on Canada?
