Something To Hide Danny?

A national audit of freedom of information laws puts Newfoundland and Labrador in the bottom half of national openness and transparency rankings.

This is quite contrary to what Danny fought for while in opposition and somehow the about face is amusing.

A 2005 CNA audit, using different methodology, put Newfoundland and Labrador at third-best in the country. Well what has happened since then? Does the Spending, Health Care, Public Service workers being stifled on providing information close doors? Any of this seem like plausible reasons to keep the lid on public information?

"Across Canada, respect for the freedom of information right by government is wildly inconsistent. Your rights as a Canadian should be the same wherever you are. no one is looking at the right to know and saying: it's got to be upheld as strongly in Newfoundland
as in Saskatoon."

Lack of openness, transparency and accountability has never been worse in this province, and in saying that, voters need to take charge of their own destiny in regard to process and policy making. Until we are ready to stand united, rid ourselves of being a culture of defeat, we will live with it as is.
