Notley has asked a retired newspaper editor to make recommendations about “the government’s media policies." In Canada though, governments don’t have media policies. The only accreditation necessary is found in the Charter of Rights with its guarantee of a free press. Notley’s desire to regulate journalists – whether through armed sheriffs and Department of Justice letters, as she did last week, or through high-priced advisors, as she’s trying next week, smacks of banana republic socialism.
