A journalist’s question about a potential problem with the Royal Canadian Navy’s new Arctic patrol ships prompted federal bureaucrats to generate more than 200 pages of documents as they warned Irving Shipbuilding about the news outlet’s interest in the multibillion dollar program.
The access law allows any individual to file a request for federal records in exchange for a $5 fee. The Liberal government campaigned on making government open and transparent. Last week, the office of Innovation Minister Navdeep Bains alerted Irving that Globe and Mail journalists had asked that department whether an investment in an Alberta french fry plant counted toward the industrial benefits requirements established under the Arctic ship program. As a result the newspaper received a letter from an Irving lawyer threatening legal action if the article contained any allegations of improper conduct.
The department responded with a statement that it takes “privacy rights and obligations very seriously,” but did not answer the question.
Who are these bureaucrats working for again?
Liberal aligned corporations are always very well insulated and protected against the press and against law enforcement.

Dangerous ‘purple heroin’ has made its way to Montreal, police document saysThe Ontario Provincial Police warned earlier this year about the dangers of the drug, which is typically made up of heroin, OxyContin and fentanyl or carfentanil. Zero sympathy for people who die trying to get a buzz. Let them go and we'll all have a better society. Your serving that heroin on a bed of lettuce? On a serious note, I’m glad that we’re drawing more attention to the incredible dangers of fentanyl and carfentanyl (elephant tranquilizer). These synthetic opioids are so much more dangerous than semi-synthetic heroin or natural morphine.

RCMP went silent about massive pot bust over concern for marijuana producer’s stock price, documents revealThere were also concerns the release of information could embarrass Health Canada and expose ‘deficiencies’ in new medical marijuana regulations You should do some deeper digging. I believe you will find at east one federal Minister with major investments in the company. Uh, did the arresting officer need to dump his/her stock first? I know that a lot of RCMP officers made money investing in those companies. Huge. I can see a clear bias.
