Tired journalism on the radio this morning:
"The Bank of #Canada has one job: to maintain the rate of inflation at 2%."
Maybe read the BoC Act before spouting nonsense? The Bank's mission is set out in the preamble. While inflation - though the word is never used in the law - is part of the story, it's anything but the full story. And, yes, 2% has become convention since the …

There is a culture about "in-camera" proceedings that even the most banal information about the proceedings should be kept secret. I saw this kind of attitude at the municipal government level while councillor and still see it today.
I'm very glad the Supreme Court of Canada made this strong ruling showing that confidentially to protect privacy does not and cannot mean complete secrecy if we are true to our ideals of transparent courts and gov.

D’autre part, répondre “Edit Piaf” pour “qui est la première personne qui a chanté l’Aigle Noir.. franchement… fraannchemennnnt?!?!! 😬
