Two stories that CBC radio are following today: In Quebec, 7 income tax workers have been fired for peeking into other people’s tax returns without authorization. Over in Ottawa they’re defending Customs Canada’s openning of personal mail on the basis that “they check for contraband but don’t read the letters”. Yeah right.
Riot cops
Those nice riot cops in Quebec City went through 1700 cans of tear gas last weekend–so much they had to put in an emergency replenishment order with their American supplier. Shucks, and there was me and the cat just laying around the country house, doing nothing more useful than reading and writing. Missed the whole darn thing.
