Ford begräbt Handyaufzeichnungen, während Carney Lippenbekenntnisse zur Transparenz ablegt. Die Zeiten sind gut für Politiker, die etwas zu verbergen haben

This is disgusting and disturbing. Need to ask the question, „Is he going to get away with this“? Serious answers only please.
The rcmp is the fundamental problem. Whether it’s Randy Boissonault, Doug Ford, Trudeau, or the chair of the SDTC, the police don’t prosecute graft and corruption in Canada
Good time to note however that the Prime Minister, PMO and offices of Cabinet Ministers at the Federal level are exempted currently under the Access to Information Act and not considered „government institutions“ for purposes of transparency and access.
What Ford is getting rightly panned for proposing here, is the status quo at the Federal level.
The Federal Information Commissioner has noted this gap many times, and called for the PMO and Cabinet offices to be subjected to the ATIA via legislation or reform of existing act, going as far as calling this an affront to democracy. This and previous governments continue to refuse to make these reforms.
Transparency and access to information is something we should be demanding at all levels of Government.

We are terrible for transparency here at both levels. Oddly the Americans do way better on that front than we do which is pretty sad.
