History shows that confidential sources are critical to safeguarding our democracy. The Pentagon Papers, Watergate, Snowden, Abu Ghraib, the Somali Affair, the present White House, the Sponsorship Scandal, Shawinigate: confidential sources have revealed to the public, through the voice of the media, fundamental issues of public and corporate governance. 1 Without those confidential revelations, these important matters may well never have seen the light of day.2 Therefore, the disclosure of information that would identity confidential sources should only be permitted in rare and exceptional circumstances. 2. As of the current date, two matters of importance to the rule of law and the governance of the country dominate the news: the Mark Norman trial, and the SNC-Lavalin affair. Each matter had its genesis in anonymous sources who shared information with a journalist. Regardless of the outcome or ultimate truth of those matters, our democracy requires their transparent investigation. 3. The present appeal is this Court’s first consideration of the Journalistic Sources Protection Act provisions in the Canada Evidence Act (s.39.1) (the “JSPA”).3 The outcome of this appeal, and the interpretation of the JSPA, will critically affect the way journalism is conducted across this country, and the ability of journalists to investigate and reveal problems in our society, to hold 1 R. v.

  • Journalistic Pathfinding: How the Parliamentary Press Gallery Adapted to News Management Under the Conservative Government of Stephen Harper
    Journalistic Pathfinding: How the Parliamentary Press Gallery Adapted to News Management Under the Conservative Government of Stephen Harper by Jennifer Ditchburn A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Journalism School of Journalism and Communication Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2014 Jennifer Ditchburn ii Abstract Commentary on the contemporary interface between the media and governments often portrays outnumbered reporters as willingly accepting information subsidies as a way of meeting the demands of the 24/7 multi-platform newsroom. But this view fails to take into account the impact on journalistic routines of more extreme forms of government news management, which block access to information and to politicians rather than merely packaging or “spinning” them favourably. The experience of the parliamentary press gallery in Ottawa vis-à-vis Stephen Harper’s government offers an excellent opportunity to take a closer look at the practical realities of political journalists confronted with stringent government news management tactics. A rupture in the historic role relationship between the gallery and the Prime Minister’s Office resulted in journalists adapting their techniques. They became pathfinders seeking out new routes – alternative human and data sources – to reach the information they needed to write their stories and prepare broadcasts. iii Acknowledgments One of the first things you’re supposed to do when embarking on the Master of Journalism program at Carleton University is come up with a thesis topic. For someone like me, having been away from university for 16 years doing hard news, the academic ideas weren’t exactly flowing freely.

  • Candal at the British Broadcasting Corporation, Revealed That Male Hosts Earn Almost 9.5 Per Cent More Than Their Female Counterparts (Houpt, 2018)
    Chapter 2 Canada A strong foundation with an uncertain future Gregory Taylor & Brooks DeCillia Introduction From its earliest days, when information often moved at the speed of canoes traversing rivers between villages, communication has played a defining feature in Canada’s history. Spanning nearly ten million square kilometres, communica- tion and media remain at the heart of the northern country’s ongoing nation- building and cultural efforts. Canada’s expansive landmass and its shared border with the US, the world’s media superpower, continue to profoundly structure the country’s communication and media system. Politically, Canada is consid- ered a federal parliamentary democracy under a constitutional monarchy with different federal and provincial responsibilities (The World Factbook, 2021). Freedom in the World 2021: status “free” (Score: 98/100, down from 99 in 2019). One point has been deducted in the category of Freedom of expression and belief, justified by the approval of a Quebec law “that prohibited civil servants in positions of ‘authority’ from wearing religious symbols in the workplace” (Freedom House, 2021). Liberal Democracy Index 2020: Canada is placed in the Top 10–20% bracket (rank 28 of measured countries, down from 11 in 2016) (Varieties of Democracy, 2017, 2021). Freedom of Expression Index 2018: rank 19 of measured countries, down from 17 in 2016 (Varieties of Democracy, 2017, 2019). 2020 World Press Freedom Index: rank 16 of 180 countries, up from 18 in 2019 (Reporters Without Borders, 2020). Canadian media policy has historically focused on attempting to slow the persistent, powerful, and popular flow of American media across the 49th parallel separating the two countries.

    THE SPIES WHO HATE US: † OFFICIAL MISDEEDS AND SOWING DISTRUST IN CANADIAN NATIONAL SECURITY Faisal Bhabha* There are no assurances. There is, rather, the virtual certainty that an agency chartered to protect ‘national security,’ cloaked in secrecy, and accountable to no one who does not share – or actively encourage – its conspiratorial mystique will continue to commit monstrous crimes…1 I. Introduction On December 14, 2017, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (“CSIS” or “the service”) announced that it had reached an out-of-court settlement with five of its employees.2 The group of intelligence officers and analysts sued the service in July 2017 alleging that racist, anti-Muslim, sexist, and homophobic discrimination and harassment were rampant among staff and supervisors, and was tolerated at the highest levels of the service.3 The allegations appeared to be corroborated by the findings of an informal internal investigation into CSIS’s Toronto Region office, which was released publicly in October 2017. The report exposed an internal culture at CSIS that included “misogynistic, offensive and inappropriate comments and jokes… and even bullying by colleagues and managers, which remained unchecked for years”.4 The † The title of this article is borrowed from a comment of the same title published in 1977 in the American leftist magazine, The Progressive, after secret and redacted documents were obtained from the United States’ Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) pursuant to freedom of information litigation. The information revealed illegal and abusive conduct by the agency. The comment posited that spies who behave illegally do harm to the very purposes they are meant to serve.

URL: http://journals.openedition.org/eccs/4064 ; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4000/eccs.4064 AFEC The SNC-Lavalin Affair: Justin Trudeau, Ministerial Resignations and Party Discipline Alex MARLAND, Memorial University The SNC-Lavalin affair ranks among the most spectacular cases of ministerial resignations and party discipline in Canadian history. In 2019, discord plunged Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government into turmoil amid explosive news stories, cabinet shuffles, committee testimony, an ethics investigation and party discipline. SNC-Lavalin, a Quebec-based company, faced criminal charges and urged the Trudeau government to negotiate an alternative, or else jobs might be lost. The Prime Minister’s Office, the clerk of the Privy Council and the minister of finance were at loggerheads with Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould over her refusal to do so. This chronicle situates the political events among antecedent cabinet crises of the Manitoba schools question in 1896, the conscription crisis in 1944 and nuclear armament in 1963.

  • The Omar Khadr Case F
    Joint Briefing to the Committee against Torture on CANADA 65 th Session, 12 November – 07 December 2018 Re: the Omar Khadr case from Lawyers’ Rights Watch Canada & The International Civil Liberties Monitoring Group 1 Re: Canada’s failure to fully comply with the 2012 recommendations of the Committee Against Torture 1 to: a. “ensure that [Omar Khadr] receives appropriate redress for human rights violations that the Canadian Supreme Court has ruled he experienced.” 2 b. “incorporate all the provisions of the Convention into Canadian law in order to allow person to invoke it directly in courts”; c. “raise awareness of [Convention] provisions among members of the judiciary and the pubic at large.” 3 d. “ensure that provisions of the Convention that give rise to extraterritorial jurisdiction can be directly applied before domestic courts”. 2 Following the sixth review of Canada’s performance in respect of its obligations under the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (Convention), the UN Committee Against Torture (Committee), in Concluding Observations published on 25 June 2012, 4 identified as subjects of concern and made the recommendations for remedial action necessary to bring Canada into compliance with the Convention quoted in paragraph 1 above. The recommendation quoted in paragraph 1(a) was made specifically in reference to the case of Omar Khadr.
