Globe and Mail reporter targeted by online campaign, photographed surreptitiously in public settings

July 21, 2025

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 Globe 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.

A judge who found the complainant in the Hockey Canada trial to be untruthful in a ruling that acquitted five former junior players of sexual assault has come under strong criticism, after a judgment starkly at odds with a growing public emphasis on believing women.But Ontario Superior Court Justice Maria Carroccia is also being praised as brave for calling it as she saw it in her 91-page written decision on Thursday, despite a potentially hostile public reception.

Legal experts say while the judge's reasoning on consent may raise concerns, the decision itself appears legally sound and may not form enough basis for an appeal.
