Yukon-based clinical social worker temporarily stripped of registration for supporting conspiracy theories – CBCNov 20, 2024Debbra Greig under investigation by British Columbia College of Social WorkersA Yukon-based clinical social worker has had her professional registration stripped — at least temporarily — for supporting conspiracy theories, but that’s not stopping her from offering services. The British Columbia College of Social Workers says Debbra Greig’s views could be detrimental to her clients and there is a real risk of harm. Greig believes in cult leader Romana Didulo, the self-professed “Queen of Canada” known for her QAnon beliefs.

Service Canada has been holding off on mailing out 85,000 passports due to the labour dispute at Canada Post. Employment and Social Development Canada said that in anticipation of a potential labour disruption, Service Canada stopped mailing passport packages on Nov. 8 — a week before Canada Post workers walked off the job. By holding residential mail several days in advance of a work stoppage, Service Canada has reduced the risk of having any passports held in Canada Post distribution centres, Roy said. If a client mailed their passport application just before the start of the strike, Service Canada might not have received the application, Roy said. In these cases, Service Canada will not be able to process the application until mail service resumes, she said.
