Privacy
office appealing database release
Does the Ontario's
Information and Privacy Commissioner (IPC), have a hidden agenda regarding
the releasing of government computer records? Is that the reason
why I was stone walled by bureaucrats and their frivolous & vexatious
reasons. Would access to City computer files be what the government
and the IPC want to make sure does not happen and be the reason why I got
abused by the City and IPC, so badly?

Ottawa's Secrets
"Nobody
ever said gaining access would be easy. But by making queries you
can make a difference." & "Access
to information can be a powerful equalizer.",
powerful words from an experienced FOI requester that has made a difference,
for all of us. When you read this remember his and mine intent are
the same but our circumstances were different.
