Floreat Grimsby In Medio Horti
After being raked over the coals by the Ombudsman over the illegal seizure and ejection of media from a meeting last year, Regional Council looks like it’s trying to make amends. Did we mention it’s election season?
In what seems to be a malaise in politics to intimidate, control and influence free media (or “fake news” as some elected officials call it), it looks like The Region got caught red-handed. The Ombudsman recently released a report entitled “Press Pause” on the Region’s December 7, 2017 meeting where press equipment was seized and journalists were ejected.
The Region recently held a meeting discussing possible changes to media policies and the recent seizure of press equipment. In the incident that involved seizure of media equipment, Grimsby Regional Councillor Quirk says the Region is the victim and did nothing wrong.
