When it comes to government information, there is no shortage of sensitive matters. As it turns out, a 91裸聊视频渇un fact91裸聊视频� about ocean critters is on the list.

Fisheries and Oceans Canada tweeted about the parasites that plague swordfish last November. Two days later, the tweet was deleted.

The reason? 91裸聊视频淪ensitivities about the parasites,91裸聊视频� the department says.

91裸聊视频淲e recognized after posting that the use of the word 91裸聊视频榩arasite91裸聊视频� without more detail might leave a negative impression about swordfish and the fishery,91裸聊视频� spokesperson Kariane Charron said in an email.

It wasn91裸聊视频檛 the only time in recent history that a government department or agency regretted hitting the send button on a social media post.

Since 2019, tweets have been deleted for everything from mundane formatting errors and spelling mistakes to threatening comments or, in some cases, puns that didn91裸聊视频檛 quite land.

Conservative member of Parliament Michael Barrett requested details about the deletions in a written question, and the government recently tabled its reply in the House of Commons.

Last September, the Privy Council Office sent condolences out on Twitter after the death of Queen Elizabeth II 91裸聊视频� but then discovered an inconsistency in the spelling of her name between the English and French versions of the message. It deleted and then reissued the post after deciding to stick with the English version of the deceased monarch91裸聊视频檚 name.

Parasites weren91裸聊视频檛 the only fodder for regret at Fisheries and Oceans. When the department tweeted out a video about the sustainability of the seafood industry, staff who had initially been angling for views ultimately decided that the 91裸聊视频渁ngle of the message was wrong.91裸聊视频�

And the department found itself erasing another post, this time about a Coast Guard vessel that had transferred fuel to another ship. The tweet was scrubbed after staff discovered that the fuel was contaminated.

Staff behind a Twitter account for the government91裸聊视频檚 surplus purchasing website 91裸聊视频� which includes goods forfeited by police 91裸聊视频� kiboshed a post advertising a gold Rolex 91裸聊视频渇ollowing an (inquiry) about the watch potentially being stolen.91裸聊视频�

There were more serious concerns at play behind some of the other decisions.

The RCMP has edited or deleted tweets from its national account at least 13 times, including last December. That91裸聊视频檚 when it apologized for promoting an online application for firearms licenses on the 33rd anniversary of the 脡cole Polytechnique massacre, when a gunman murdered 14 women and wounded 14 other people at the Montreal engineering school.

Last winter91裸聊视频檚 91裸聊视频淔reedom Convoy91裸聊视频� protests also prompted the Mounties to scrub at least four tweets about the Musical Ride, a specialized unit intended to promote the force. That came as a result of reported death threats against officers who are part of the unit, after their personal information was leaked through messages shared in an RCMP Musical Ride group chat.

Hate speech against women and LGBTQ people that had cropped up in the comments led the Treasury Board to delete posts themed on Women91裸聊视频檚 History Month in September 2021.

While some of the deletions highlight the vitriol that exists on social media, others show the ways that staffers tried 91裸聊视频� and perhaps failed 91裸聊视频� to use the platforms for light-hearted humour.

On one occasion, the Canada Revenue Agency tried to turn the unofficial December holiday of 91裸聊视频渘ational monkey day91裸聊视频� into a chance to steer people to use its online portal.

Telling Canadians to 91裸聊视频渂e a chimp-ion this tax season91裸聊视频� and describing the perks are 91裸聊视频渁bsolutely a-peeling-in,91裸聊视频� the message featured monkey and banana emojis. That was deemed too risky, as it could be 91裸聊视频渢aken out of context,91裸聊视频� the agency said.

On May 4, the National Research Council Canada tried to join in on the fun of what91裸聊视频檚 colloquially known as Star Wars Day 91裸聊视频� because 91裸聊视频淢ay the fourth be with you.91裸聊视频�

But its tweet about meteorology was nixed two weeks later. The department got rid of the message, it said, after determining that the intergalactic content fell outside of its 91裸聊视频渕andate.91裸聊视频�
