Daly told the committee that she was seconded to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) while ArriveCan was being developed. She said she had no authority to make decisions about the contracting process and insisted that her role was largely an administrative one.

    Well, although that’s a perfectly fine problem to investigate, I just don’t really care. I really can’t imagine that this is being boosted for any other reason than conservatives still being butthurt that they have a social responsibility to not spread disease.

      You don’t care that the government is playing favorites / effectively sole-sourcing multi-million dollar contracts and just handing out money for effectively nothing to businesses?

      Wow. It sounds an awful lot like you don’t gives shit about corruption if the end justifies the means.

      Fuck, I long for the days that $16 orange juice was a big enough scandal to bring down the government.

        Get off your soapbox and consider that myself and hundreds of thousands of people in my generation in this country can’t afford to rent our own places because of the insanely inflated cost of housing and food.

        This story isn’t a shock to me. I think it’s a problem, sure, but in the context of our modern world this story seems much more like it’s intended as a distraction from the more systemic issues at hand.

          Government corruption is the reason you can’t afford housing and food.
