Canadian here. This lifelabs breach is a national travesty. Compared to the ruckus the opposition made for the We charity situation, why are they not after these guys? This really disgusts me about our political system today .. if you can score points against your opposition, go full-on guns blazing. If it actually is of consequence to citizens, meh.

For context ... the lifelabs folks do labs/diagnostics for a huge part of the country .. and they had a data breach where some private data was lost. That's half of Canada, eh.

  And there are no real alternatives. I really wish the government was doing these tests rather then some rando company.

      That instead of a private company doing bloodwork it was a Goverment entity or even a hospital.

Wait that whole billion dollar ethical possible crimminal situation that the government created on their own makes you made you angry at the opposition (left / right / french / green)? You don't think it's of any consequence to citzens? You think they are causing an unnecessary ruckus? What part of Canada are you from? Is that you Justin?

  I've read like three articles on the thing and I'm still not clear what exactly the alleged wrongdoing is.

  All levels of the Canadian govt have done a reasonable job during the pandemic when a bulk of the world has faltered. I'm not a fan of all the fiscal stimulus (top tax bracket) but I understand why it is being done. There is a concept called Helicopter money that some economists have proposed. You may want to look into that. I'm in Ontario btw and don't see the need for a personal attack in your comment.

Another Canadian here... We have a seldom understood issue in Canada about representation. I'm hopeful that this will change. https://nationalcitizensassembly.ca/ https://nationalcitizensassembly.ca/
