Well, bit of a breakthrough at my office. A government blog. I’ll blog and/or write about it when I have the energy, but thanks to the great support of my team and my bosses, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner has a blog.
That’s right. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner has a blog.
Why don’t you?
Obviously, this is a learning exercise for all of us. But we’re pretty excited.

Congrats Colin,
You’re a pathfinder. I’m sure many will watch this closely.
Now, a question. It seems that the privacy commissioner has had some big issues in the past few weeks. Will you post about substantive issues as they develop, providing background and links to relevant resource material?
We’ll certainly be posting on substantive issues, and one of my goals behind the blog is to build more reactive links among privacy advocates.
We face a natural restriction as an ombudsman: we can’t speak to ongoing investigations, points before the courts, or some policy areas.
Nice work, Colin.
Will you be the only person posting, or will others from your office join in?
As a fellow government communicator (at a provincial level), congratulations! This is great to see.
My first reaction was to look to see if you had comments enabled – I’m impressed that you do.
Like Joseph, I’m interested whether you’re able to write about contentious topics through this blog.
I’ll be watching closely!
