When an entity feels it has to say 'No judgement', more likely than not, you've already been judged and found guilty. Interesting that this kind of hand-holding doesn't appear for those searching for, say, sissification pornography—I mean, if any audience truly needed help. Apparently leftist authoritarianism is still a thing, of which we can never get enough, to save us from an ever encroaching—yet somehow never arriving—fascism. Thanks for recommending Diane Johnstone's memoir.

From what I've seen over the last ten years or so, the people in the minder class feel embattled and unappreciated. In a way, it's funny. They're mostly mediocre. So of course they're unappreciated, and they're embattled because they make hash of things all the time. They could either admit to major missteps and deeply damaging misconceptions or try to gaslight anyone who notices. No surprises which one they choose.

Thanks for tackling the FOIA! I'm curious to see how they respond.

Province of Alberta has already said they haven't got any info (I don't think this is a stonewall, they did not provide the funding) and gave me my $25 back (a nice surprise!). So I will file a federal inquiry now.
