A senior bureaucrat with the Finance department sent out a mass email across government asking organizations to retweet messages about the announcement using the hashtag #StrongFamilies.
“We ask that your organization re-tweet the Department of Finance tweets from @financecanada on the announcement over the following 72 hours,” wrote Jean-Michel Catta, an assistant deputy minister.
“Most of our tweets will contain the hashtags #StrongFamilies ou #Famillesfortes.”
The proposal, which includes income splitting for families with children under 18 and extending the monthly Universal Child Care Benefit to more taxpayers, has not yet received parliamentary approval.

Inappropriate? Yes, in fact it sounds disgusting and I wonder if it might be illegal. Anyone having a difference with the government also, apparently, faces the same from the bureaucracy. If these are public employees, is their responsibility not to the public they are supposed to be serving rather than to the government of the day?
