whistleblowers #7

   The whistleblowers article I picked is one on (Vice News Canada), about how Canada made up laws which will protect journalists. Bill S-231 amends the Canada Evidence Act. The new bill allows journalists the right to refuse to disclose information or documents that could identify a source who has requested anonymity.

   

  I think that as people we have the right to know about what our government is doing and the decisions that are being made. Some things also should be left unsaid as well, I think its good that they came up with a law that make it harder to question and investigate journalists about there story's and articles. Half the time they are about things that the RCMP and the POLICE and they are trying to hide them from the public.

   

 I think that its good because it makes it harder for the police and other agents to find out who the whistleblowers are and its important because the public can know what they are trying to hide.
