That was part of the rationale for the Harperites' assault on the census, wasn't it?
For your consideration: Sean Bruyea. A vocal critic of Veterans Affairs whose personal medical and financial records seem to have been xeroxed and used for paper airplanes by hundreds of bureaucrats and used to brief former minister Greg Thompson.

One expert in privacy law called it the worst breach of privacy he'd ever seen.
This is what happens to critics of this government.
This is what this gang of thugs will stoop to.
I'm sorry, were they saying something about the long-form census being intrusive?
(H/t Susan Delacourt.)
Update: Chet has more.

Does this not go all the way back to the Liberals, too? It doesn't seem like anybody is coming out of this unscathed.
