Federal politicians have changed the law to prohibit big businesses from making false claims about their environmental protection commitments. When will politicians prohibit themselves from making false claims #cdnpoli

These are unacceptable actions by Elections B.C. A committee of the B.C. legislature needs to hold public hearings to question Elections B.C. officials #bcpoli open.substack.com/pub/bobmackin/…

If the businesses made more money from violating the law since the investigation began in 2019 than they were fined in 2025, then the fines will change nothing #cdnpoli #onpoli

One of the greatest failures of governments across Canada is enacting laws but failing to plan or budget enough to ensure compliance with the laws. Failing to do this again and again for decades has shattered public trust in governments. Any law is just words on paper unless it

The military should not be investigating members of the military, just like any police force should not investigate members of its force, because conflicts of interest undermine the effectiveness of the investigation #cdnpoli #bcpoli

This is crazy bad. Such violence can never be justified given the level of democracy & rule of law Canada has. We are far from as democratic & just as we could be, but still many legal, non-violent avenues exist to build support for any political position #cdnpoli #bcpoli

This federal government contracting process smells and should be frozen until it can be investigated by the Auditor General and Procurement Ombudsman #cdnpoli #bcpoli

Globe editorial calls for most of DWatch’s key changes to strengthen Canada’s federal ethics law, and says there are so many loopholes that the Ethics Commissioner’s weak recommendations are like fixing a broken dam with popsicle sticks theglobeandmail.com/opinion/editor… #cdnpoli #bcpoli

PM Mark Carney’s ethics screen is an unethical, loophole-filled smokescreen as it hides that he is allowed to participate in almost all decisions that affect companies he is invested in even though he has a conflict of interest & can profit from his decisions #cdnpoli #bcpoli

Doug Ford PC Party’s Bill 9 does little to improve broken, unethical, conflict-ridden and ineffective municipal politics ethics system, DWatch will say at Committee hearing today. Key changes needed for effective system. Details at: bit.ly/43e8VDO #onpoli #topoli

Many changes needed to make B.C. elections & political system actually democratic, honest, ethical, open and fair, and to stop foreign interference. DWatch calls today on MLAs on Special Committee to recommend all the changes. Details at: bit.ly/4eUZgYb #bcpoli #cdnpoli
