"Tomorrow" was the introduction to Michelle Yeoh for most in the west. Startling to realize that's 25 years now. I did not know Sid Meier was Canadian. And, while I guard my remaining sanity fiercely by adding new news addictions as minimally as possible, I will have to check in with MRG's substack now and then.
Her article about government ignoring information requests - even from MPs(!) is needed.
My suggestion, for both public and private bodies, is that "Communication Departments" - an Orwellian name, since they specialize in restricting information (I can give yawn-inducing but very serious examples from my little municipal career) - all be abolished.
Replace Abolish the Police with "Abolish the Police Communications Department", make serving officers face the media, and I guarantee you'll get improved policing that same year.
I actually didn't know Sid Meier was Canadian, either.
I increasingly agree, wrt to the communications divisions. They have stopped being facilitators of information flow and have become barriers. Police have, at least internally, been very clear that their corporation communications divisions are designed to cut out media, not work with them. We're seeing this play out in Eastern Ontario right now, where nobody seems to know how many armed and dangerous people are on the lose — in the last two hours, the OPP has said 3, 2, 1, and zero.
