Unfortunately for capitalism, auditing is irredeemably broken. The Big Four auditors (#PWC, #EY, #Deloitte and #KPMG) have merged to monopoly, becoming #TooBigToFail and #TooBigToJail.

PJ O'Rourke once quipped that "The Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then they get elected and prove it." But conservative parties have unlikely allies in the project to discredit public service: neoliberal "centrist" parties, like @liberal_party. 1/

The Liberals have become embroiled in a series of scandals over the explosion of lucrative, secretive private contracts awarded to high-flying #consultancy firms who charge hundreds of times more than public sector employees to do laughably bad work. 3/
My first time home to Canada in more than 3 years and fined $6,255 at Pearson for not agreeing to the ToS of the #ArriveCan app and not disclosing my vaccination status.
Was detained by @OPP_News officers and threatened with arrest at the request of @CanBorder and @GovCanHealth

The @OPP_News officer told me that it was within my right to refuse to use the #ArriveCan app, but that exercising that right would result in a $6,255 fine for failing to comply with the Quarantine Act.

Was never tested or given any information about quarantining.
Only punished with a hefty fine for not agreeing to the terms and conditions of their #ArriveCan app and then sent on my way.

*BREAKING* Sources are telling me that #ArriveCan and all federal mandates are on the verge of being cancelled. Could be as early as next week.

Multiple sources tell me the liberals are in a panic over Justin Trudeau's record low approval rating. Expect @OmarAlghabra and @marcomendicino to resign in the next few weeks. They will be assigned the blame for the recent failures of the Trudeau government.
Senior liberal party leaders are also considering asking Trudeau to resign before the next election. There is a quiet majority of liberal MP's who oppose Justin's covid restrictions in private but are too afraid of the consequences of speaking out against the party's leader
Short 🧵on random #covid testing by @CanBorder & @GovCanHealth:
We crossed back into Canada April 1st, the 1st day pre-arrival covid tests were not required.
I was "randomly selected" and told to complete the take home test from @SwitchHealthCA within 24 hours. /1

Within an hour of getting to our cottage, fairly remotely located, where we indicated we would isolate in our #ArriveCan app (which worked well) as part of the quarantine plan ArriveCan asks for, I started the registration and testing process. /2
