Hey, remember that deleted emails complaint against government? The privacy commissioner has finally released her report, and found the UCP complaints were "unsubstantiated." edmontonjournal.com/news/politics/… #ableg #cdnpoli

I did a bunch of stories about this at the time. If you fancy some background reading, here you go. First Wildrose found through two FOIPs that 860,000 emails had been deleted by government and political staffers. And were like, 'Hey, wth?' edmontonjournal.com/news/politics/… #ableg

So then the privacy commissioner looks into it, and retains this bloke from Ontario who played a key role in the Ontario government gas plant probe edmontonjournal.com/news/politics/… #ableg #cdnpoli

Premier Notley's former chief of staff, John Heaney, was also investigated.... but that was about alleged interference in a FOIP response, which doesn't seem to be part of this report. edmontonjournal.com/news/politics/… #ableg #cdnpoli

Yes, I know FOIP stories aren't like STOP THE PRESSES, but it's an important system that lets Albertans access their own information, and ensures some level of transparency into government practices. #ableg #cdnpoli
