Every single day a new story. Something funded and/or paid for by taxpayers and we cannot see the results due to "safety". Why is this uniform and blanket secrecy so prevalent in Canada, furthermore, why doesn't any politician speak out on it? WHy aren't laws being put into place that demand transparency and access of citizens to facts instead of fluff?

I'm sure their definition of harmful doesn't mean "harmful to the victims."

Imagine this completely baseless potential finding I just made up: the study found that worker's at women's shelters were raping women in those shelters at a greater rate than the general population. That would lead to a public outcry that would likely close down many shelters. Now you have no shelters.

False assumption. More likely there would be rules implemented to reduce or eliminate the potential for rape at shelters.

Using your made up scenario; the study found that child exploitation is rampant in the sex trade. If the public outcry could stop it, why shouldn't we encourage that?

I'm thinking you must have some powerful people in government getting paid off to hush up any ideas about ending sex slavery in Canada.
