This past July I wrote two posts on Sylvie Therrien, the government employee suspended because she leaked documents that revealed federal investigators were told to find $485,000 of Employment Insurance fraud every year.
An update on her fate, published in today's Star, reveals that she has been fired. The alleged reason?
According to Employment and Social Development Canada, Therrien had her “reliability status’ ... revoked, and therefore she no longer met the conditions for her job.
The real reason, I suspect, is that she dared to stand up to the bullying tactics of the Harper regime, and thus serves as a very public example of what can occur when integrity trumps the 'situational ethics' imposed by a cabal in which morality is a risible concept meant to be treated with the contempt that this government regularly shows to anyone or anything that impedes its debased journey.
Of course she was doomed the day she leaked that information. I wish I could say only Harper would have done that.
ReplyDeleteBTW, that looks like a lovely, hand-forged Gransfors axe from Sweden. They're my favourite.
The axe's especially sharp edge seemed an appropriate pictorial accompaniment, Mound.
