One family member believes he saw an IIO investigator hugging an RCMP officer at the scene, hours after the shooting. The IIO declined to follow up with the members assigned to this case for my story.

My story on the BC Human Rights Commissioner report that finds press access was blocked/delayed in a way that violated human rights. And the city's assertion that the commissioner is wrong. Despite the rigourous evidence-gathering process conducted by the inquiry. thetyee.ca/News/2026/02...

It's taken more than 19 months for B.C.'s financial regulator to issue a decision on Hon Kit Chung. He's accused of posing as a mortgage broker and running an illicit scheme to pocket the proceeds of home loans. In the meantime, there are new claims of fraud by Chung. theijf.org/article/hot-...

Another colleague, @kehyslop.bsky.social, is only now being allowed by VPD to go into their HQ to view training material for their SLO program. That was also an incredibly long battle.
