A new portal to search for FOI and ATIP responses: https://theijf.org/open-by-default
Friends have just shared with me a new Portal that has been created recently - check it out: https://theijf.org. This is how they present themselves:
The Investigative Journalism Foundation is a nonprofit newsroom focused on public interest journalism. We are a new kind of media outlet, built around databases on who donates to politicians across Canada, who lobbies them, and how the government spends your money.
We're proud to be members of the National NewsMedia Council of Canada and the Institute for Nonprofit News. Details on our team can be found below. You can send story tips here.
One of the great tools they offer is the Open By Default database where Search our real-time database of records released under the access to information system in Canada: https://theijf.org/open-by-default. It is really impressive - I just tested it. It has already ~30K documents, with more added almost daily, and provides very powerful tools to search for specific keywords in documents from specific departments.
How I tested it
I searched there for the ATIP that made headlines last year (e.g. reported in https://torontosun.com/news/national/privy-council-advocated-downplaying-covid-vaccine-injuries-or-deaths, used in www.whocantellmethetruth.ca, I also wrote about it in my previous posts), which revealed that PCO was recommending PMO to use “winning communication strategies” as to not “shake public confidence,” and apply skewing stats to minimize the impact of vaccine-related deaths or injuries, and I easily found it.

Privy Council Office Released May 2023 • 2,540 pages
Request: IIU insight reports, briefing notes, memos and media lines related to vaccination and misinformation from May 2, 2021 to June 6, 2022.
Once you find this ATIP document, you can download it to your computer directly from the link provided: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24395011-2023-05-a-2022-00115-privy-council-office, or you can browse it and search for keywords online.
Try searching it for words “ winning” or “causality”, you will be impressed with the wealth of new knowledge on how pandemic and vaccine adverse reactions were managed by the government.
