		<description><![CDATA[This story is an interesting illustration of the intersection between personal relationships and public obligations, and of one of the favoured reprisal tactics used against whistleblowers. It also shows how laws can be used in unethical ways. A Prince George city councillor, Brian Skakun, leaked information to the press about abusive management at a local [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a year-old story about a whistleblower working in Nunavut that I only just learned about a few days ago. He was fire marshal for the territory and still in his probationary year when he reported that Baffin Correctional Centre was a fire trap. The outcome was all too predictable, given the abysmal state [...]]]></description>
