The fact that CBC was too cowardly to film this is indicative of a much bigger problem in media.
When layoffs come, they tend to target journalists who are "problems" for management, who question authority.
This is what you lose when you only keep the journalists who are deferential to authority:
Last month, B.C.βs agriculture ministry took over cannabis policy from the public safety ministry (excluding enforcement). Itβs a small change that the struggling cannabis industry hopes is a positive one.

Here's how Cosmo and his owner Sunny Nemmes helped changed the law for the better.
For the dog people: I wrote about a good boy who helped change a B.C. law.
