The CRA is under fire as they trend on twitter for the abismal abuse of CERB.

The CRA isn’t the only federal organization with employees who took advantage of the CERB money-printing scheme either. Employment and Social Development Canada, and, by extension, Service Canada, has also fired and revoked the security clearance of an additional 54 workers, bringing the number of federal public workers who gamed the system up to at least 286.
