Federal government staff made a series of social media errors that had to be later deleted, including spelling the Queen of England’s name wrong after her death, according to records from an Inquiry of Ministry.

On Dec. 1, 2022, Ontario Conservative MP Michael Barrett filed a request to cabinet for an itemized list of all deleted tweets since 2019.
