The article I picked was the one on Vice News Canada. It is about how Canada made up these certain laws that will protect journalists and their anonymous sources from search warrants and police surveillance. Bill S-231, was first introduced by Conservative Senator Claude Carignan in November 2016 after news broke that Quebec and Montreal police had been spying on journalists to find the sources of embarrassing leaks. 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 we should have the right to know what are government is doing and what they are planning on doing/talking about. However, I do believe that some of the things that the government knows, are things that should be kept unsaid. I feel this way because they may know things that we shouldn't know.
I think that its good because it makes it harder for the police and other agents to find out who the whistleblowers are.
