It's starting to look very suspicious that he's being so evasive. To properly cite the info we need to know who's creating it. SSP states
When posting images in the forum which are not your own you are required to provide credit to the originating website of each image.
To properly credit an image please include, above or below the image, the name of the photographer or creator of the image, plus the URL to the webpage the image originates from.
Sadly, we know none of this info. The emails sent out every week only link to the marketing campaign site which is clearly not the source of the info. We also don't know who's creating these updates despite having asked at least twice for the info. Must be a state secret.
The APA guidelines for citing material include the following advice:
- Cite primary sources when possible, and cite secondary sources sparingly.
- Cite sources to document all facts and figures that you mention that are not common knowledge.
- To cite a specific part of a source, provide an author–date citation for the work plus information about the specific part.

The first two points are something Mykie needs to address in the updates as he and/or his team are not doing them. We at least have dates but no author info. I find it very odd that he won't even indicate the organization behind these updates. I doubt it's the province as they copyright everything they do. I get a similar weekly email update from another government department that makes it very clear who's producing the content, etc. I could see this being a contractor(s) based on what we get from KGL including the attitude.
