Joe Friday’s report is a reminder: Canada persecutes whistleblowers

It's time for our political leaders to end this charade, which is unbecoming to a progressive democracy and contrary to our values as Canadians, and to do what they have repeatedly promised: to protect the public by protecting whistleblowers. If our peers can do this, why can’t we?

Integrity Commissioner Joe Friday, pictured in this file photo. Although the Office of the Public Sector Integrity Commissioner is responsible for overseeing the entire federal public sector with its approximately 400,000 employees spending about $1-billion per day, PSIC rarely finds anything amiss. It has found only 18 cases of wrongdoing in its 15 years of operation, in spite of receiving more than 1,500 disclosures of wrongdoing from whistleblowers, writes David Hutton.
