Still constrained.

There is not much on line coverage of the latest known incident involving a woman held naked in the cells of the RCMP detachment in Happy Valley- Goose Bay.

CBC radio in HV-GB had a long interview with Mary Adams yesterday morning, it was replayed in part on CBC Radio Noon and a news brief was aired on CBC On the Go.

This is not good enough, Paul Piggott [the reporting covering the story] is good at his profession, alas he does not get the appropriate support from the top brass at CBC.

This story highlights the whole sorry mess that is policing, health services, social services in this region and province; all need a good cleansing and purging. The to be sworn in Minister of Health should be promptly replaced for starters.

Where should it go from there? Well some place other than the status quo for sure. For those with a social conscience, and an urge for reform of the political system could make the effort to procure a transcript of the Mary Adams Paul Piggott interview. In it Mary states that she has walked out on her job within the system, she figures she can do a better job of working towards change from without, how refreshing and bloody honest.
Maybe there is an rss feed? I'm not into that stuff yet. CBC Labrador Morning will be having more today I just heard. The story needs regional, national and international coverage.
