What every citizen of BC should know about the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act is that at the end, it has a section that essentially argues that *any* and *all* government information *must* be disclosed if it is in the public interest.

“Division 4 -- Public Interest Paramount”

It has just one Section:

*Information must be disclosed if in the public interest*

25 (1)Whether or not a request for access is made, the head of a public body must, without delay, disclose to the public, to an affected group of people or to an applicant, information

(a)about a risk of significant harm to the environment or to the health or safety of the public or a group of people, or

(b)the disclosure of which is, for any other reason, clearly in the public interest.

(2)Subsection (1) applies despite any other provision of this Act.

Just sent a truly epic email to the Freedom of Information office at the BC Ministry requesting that they release a bunch of information that they refused/redacted in my 2000 page Island Railway related information disclosure.

It was 1160 words with 11 attachments. 😂

Feeling my citizen-power rn

Though i don't envy the FOI analyst opening that up just before lunch on a Friday in June. 😇

___ La foi est une disposition propre à tout organisme vivant. Elle revient à partir du principe que tes actions auront un effet sur le monde tel que tu le conçois.

Paradoxalement, toutefois, la foi repose sur l'incertitude. Elle se dissout et perd tout sens à l'instant même ou l'existence de son objet est prouvée.

@RightToKnow Do we have here another example of AI hallucinations or was the creation of false legal references an intention to deceive? Needs investigation.

OOOHH!!!! 🚨
Just got an email from the BC Government! My FOI request that I submitted almost exactly two years ago in 2023 has finally completed!

Looks like there is ALOT of redacted/partial disclosures

I'm going to keep a lid on what this is all about other than to say, it's about trains and climate change! lol (which is convenient, given my earlier post this morning)

Time for some light reading!
(edit: Holy.... it's 1600+ pages!!!)
