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.

Separately, someone disguised a phone number to look like Ms. Tait’s mobile number to make calls to multiple people.

With its frequent fog, rainstorms and snow squalls barrelling in from the Atlantic Ocean, Newfoundland and Labrador has long been known as a place with unpredictable weather. But until recently, dangerously hot and dry summers weren’t something people had to worry about. As unprecedented wildfires chase thousands from their homes in the eastern part of the province, Newfoundlanders are concerned that their usually damp island is entering new territory.
