I will a) fall off my chair, b) eat my hat, c) drop my jaw, d) buy my colleagues a steak dinner if I receive anything approaching the truth of the matter. I might as well be buying lottery tickets and burning them as the machine spits them out. This is how governments of all stripes New Democrat in our case provincially, Liberal in our case federally, Conservative in our case at times historically treat the public right to know. It is more of a public right to no. As in no, you can’t have that. There was thus zero surprise to learn late Thursday that details of the coronavirus presence in the province are concealed from release.
Do you believe the BC government has been transparent in its handling of the pandemic?
