## Editorial caveat

The article separates public records from allegations. NewsForBC does not allege a crime by Dogwood, BC Politics Watch, Elections BC, any party, candidate, donor, foundation, Indigenous government, union, politician or staff member. The public-interest issue is transparency: what the law requires for paid election advertising versus what citizens may still want to know about non-party organizing, donor mix and influence.
