Short 10 minutes video below goes into the details.
To breifely summarize:
The Liberals never liked the freedom anyways, doing things like:
The authoritarian slide continues. Canada should become a communist "utopia" in no time.

To breifely summarize:
- This topic finished being discussed in committee in June. Bill yet to follow.
- The proposal would be to alter the freedom of information act so only official government records (and they decide what that is) would be subject to freedom of information. This would be the sanitized final copy which would leave out all the important stuff.
- The reasoning they give behind it is that there are too many freedom of information requests and a lot being filed by bots. Experts say there is no evidence there are any bots. Plus, they create the process to file so it is their responsibility to weed out any bots. Furthermore, you don't file these requests for free. You have to put in a filing fee. No one is going to spin up a bunch of bots to spend thousands of dollars of their money on freedom of information requests. These people seem to not know how bots work. Or they assume Canadians are stupid and don't know how bots work.
- The premier of Ontario, Doug Ford has already borrowed a little bit of this idea and removed a few things from the freedom of information act in the last budget. This is just another items that really points to Doug Ford being a Carney/Trudeau Liberal pretending to be a conservative. They borrow so many policy ideas from each other that it seems like they have to be having weekly meetings for this kind of stuff.
The Liberals never liked the freedom anyways, doing things like:
- Dragging their feet when releasing records.
- Refusing to release records to certain orginazation or delaying their release until a lawsuit might be innevitable.
- Redacting a ton of stuff from everything they do release. Can journalists even challenged a document for being redacted or having too many parts of it redacted? Without knowing what it says, how can you prove it shouldn't have been redacted?
The authoritarian slide continues. Canada should become a communist "utopia" in no time.
