Canada's New Laws Threaten Government Transparency

New provincial laws in Canada are making it tougher to access government records. British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario have introduced legislation that allows more discretion for public bodies to withhold, delay, or deny record requests. This makes it harder for journalists, activists, and citizens to hold the government accountable. What does it mean for you? It means less transparency and more hurdles in finding out what your government is up to. If you like knowing how your tax dollars are spent or why certain decisions are made, these changes make it much harder to get those answers.
