Government Suspends Whistleblower For Revealing E.I. Wichhunt
Ordinary Canadians are assumed to be criminals while the Harper government turns a blind eye to Senate corruption. Sylvie Therrien, a federal fraud investigator, has been suspended without pay after she leaked documents showing that investigators had to cut people off their employment insurance benefits in order to meet quotas.

...and, Lorne, I just heard one of Harper's puppets--(Adler I believe or P.P.)--state re Lac Megantic tragedy that they've tightened up 'whistle-blower legislation/protection'...what complete and utter liars they are. And it's working because so many people are sleep-walking through life. It's disheartening sometimes, for those of us who give a damn.
ReplyDeleteI think the only thing that concerned people can do, Linda, is to disseminate as widely as possible all examples of government lies, malfeasance and hypocrisy. For example, although I don't have a large number of 'friends' on Facebook, I make a regular practice of posting relevant links in the hopes they will read them and realize the times we are living in.
DeleteAgreed. This hard target mentality is that of a collection agency and has no place in a supposed "insurance" program to which these people paid premiums in good faith. Audit of recipient files to look for fraud, I agree. A requirement for an auditor to complete a certain number of files per week, I agree. Quality reviews of the audits by senior auditors to ensure the auditors are not missing fraud, I agree. But to set hard financial recovery targets is a collection agency mentality. If you have 100 files and there is no fraud, you either have to fabricate fraud against people you believe won't or can't fight back...or you loose your job. Whoever thought this was a good idea should be fired.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, Anon. A government that looks at its citizens through a suspicious statistical lens has no place in a true democracy.
DeleteI agree with Anon, Lorne. E.I. is -- or should be -- an insurance program. To this government, everything is a cost. Therefore, E.I. has no value. In fact, nothing -- save self interest -- has any value.
ReplyDeleteWith almost every move they make, Owen, it is obvious that the Harper cabal is not here for us.
