An online campaign that targeted a Globe and Mail journalist, in part using surreptitiously taken photos of her in public, was widely condemned on Monday, including by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and a national journalism organization that called the campaign an attack on press freedom.

Reporter Carrie Tait, who has been investigating allegations of political interference at Alberta’s provincial health authority, has been the target of an anonymous account on X, called The Brokedown, which posted photographs of Ms. Tait meeting with two former political staffers in the Alberta government. The account also referenced her movements around Calgary.

Someone also recently disguised a phone number to look like Ms. Tait’s mobile number to make calls to multiple people.

A Globe and Mail reporter investigating allegations of political interference at Alberta’s provincial health authority has been targeted by an anonymous account on X, which posted surreptitiously obtained photographs of her in public settings and described her private movements.

Pictures of Calgary correspondent Carrie Tait meeting two women, who are former political staffers in the government of Premier Danielle Smith, were posted earlier this month by an account calling itself The Brokedown.

Details about the photographs were also posted beforehand by a podcaster, who made references in a video to a meal that Ms. Tait attended. He confirmed to The Globe that he was supplied with the photographs in advance of their posting on X. Separately, someone disguised a phone number to look like Ms. Tait’s mobile number to make calls to multiple people.

One of Ontario’s largest hospital corporations is taking the unusual step of suing its former chief executive and two senior administrators, alleging they failed to act properly when they were presented with evidence of a procurement fraud.

London Health Sciences Centre, which manages three hospitals and more than 15,000 employees, announced two lawsuits this week stemming from an investigation into an alleged $50-million fraud scheme. The hospital network alleges inflated contracts were steered to companies with ties to a former vice-president of London Health Sciences.
