The latest ploy by B.C.’s allegedly ‘open’ government: Invoking Crown copyright as a tool of press censorship

Far from being the most open province in Canada, as Premier Gordon Campbell pledged, British Columbia has become the least open in one sense.
Besides undermining the B.C. Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act in countless ways, including passing regressive amendments and regulations to it, the provincial government has gone a step further.
Now it is attempting to block the publication of records by an FOI applicant even after releasing them, a potential tool of censorship that is invoked nowhere else in the world as far as I can find.
