Show Notes

On this edition of theBreaker.news Podcast, host Bob Mackin speaks to Vincent Gogolek, who retired at the end of February as the executive director of the British Columbia Freedon of Information and Privacy Association.  As head of B.C. FIPA, Gogolek became one of Canada's most important voices in the ongoing battle for citizens' information access and privacy rights. Gogolek has a background in both law and journalism. In the interview, he recounts some of the victories and what still needs to be done.  Plus, commentaries on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Delhi Debacle and how the media and public in the State of Washington banded together against secrecy in their state capital.  Enjoy this week's edition and spread the word.
