A Postmedia columnist is criticizing the federal government after learning a bureaucrat asked social media companies to remove links to a newspaper article containing leaked details about Canada’s immigration strategy.
On March 29, The Epoch Times reported that an Inquiry of Ministry document, tabled by the Liberal government, mentions instances where federal departments sought to have online content removed. In one of those instances, the director of communications at the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) made a request to Facebook and Twitter that an article by Lorne Gunter be “removed/unpublished” from social media.
