British Columbia's Accountability and Transparency Mechanism just hit full swing. You can thank the BC NDP for Bill 9.

How does one choose which is priority when your timeline to file counts down. wtf

@gghalicki 😄 this gave me a good chuckle, thank you Garry

[The Remanded @TheRemanded]

Algo hit. Guess someone didn’t like something in my timeline.

[The Remanded @TheRemanded]

@QRTnurse Will see how they respond but seems like it.

So in the span of one afternoon, this office directed a BC resident to court and then used a policy that does not appear to exist in writing to block any new submissions.

I have asked them in writing to identify the specific page and document where the 3-file limit is published.

[The Remanded @TheRemanded]

The email cites their own published Decline Policy as the authority for a 3-file limit. I read that policy. The 3-file limit is not in it. It is not in any published OIPC policy document on their website. I checked all four.

[The Remanded @TheRemanded]

omg, BC bill 9 just hit me. wow, I can't believe this

[The Remanded @TheRemanded]

@ChrisRi85936325 hahaha, yes, quite so. Felt like I needed a recap.

*** BC Elections Update - June 4th ***

Filed 5 access requests with Elections BC about the 2024 election. The OIPC declined all five without reviewing a single record. When I asked why, they told me to hire a lawyer and go to BC Supreme Court. That is the oversight system working as designed.

Nearly two years into this process. I do not know yet whether I self-represent or find another way forward. What I cannot get past is how a system built for public oversight and transparency can direct a resident to the Supreme Court rather than answer a straightforward factual question.

No MLA has got my back or responded. I am at the moment between right and wrong, and I am looking to my left and right at my fellow British Columbians.

These are your election records too.

We Keep Going

@amboultbee Thank You for the clarification Amelia.

@MrMiyagikills @DrKindyMLA One day my friend…one day 🙂

[The Remanded @TheRemanded]

It seems the article or myself duplicated the title into the beginning. Whoops.

[The Remanded @TheRemanded]

This is a nearly two year documented effort by one British Columbian. If it resonates, share it. Democratic accountability requires more than one voice.

@QRTnurse @RobShaw_BC Yeah. I just don’t appreciate the public being mislead. Very unprofessional.

@Airfun101 Thank You 🙏

For clarity to the public regarding your editorial's suggestion of procedural failure, "the public was not told" and "public not told about an active police investigation" is not a failure of procedure. It is the procedure.

Under Section 11(d) of the Charter, every person is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Under Section 16 of the Access to Information Act, RCMP investigation information is legally withheld until charges are laid, this is mandatory, not discretionary. The special prosecutor announced charges exactly when the law requires. No law obligates an MLA to disclose an active investigation against them.

Disclaimer: This is not a defence of the MLA or the allegations against them. This is solely a clarification of the legal process for the public record - context @RobShaw_BC neglected to include
