Canadian government records censored with Scotch tape, paper

A Paris based Associated Press correspondent was flabbergasted to receive a freedom of information request from the Public Health Agency of Canada that had been censored with scotch tape and paper. "I've never seen someone use an arts and crafts method in order to hide information from me," he told the Star.

Tom Henheffer, executive director of Canadian Journalists for Free Expression, has never heard of any redactions being made with tape and paper.

"This is the weirdest thing I've ever seen," he said. "It must've been someone's first day."
