Canadian Mounties building their own email system

Typical “government contractor doing it wrong” story. Here’s the meat of the article:

Blockquote
In June 2013, Bell Canada won the contract to move 550,000 mailboxes from 63 email systems to a uniform email address ending with @canada.ca. The transformation promised to make the email system more secure, efficient and easier for Canadians to access while saving $50 million a year.
There’s still no word on when Bell Canada will make good on a $245-million contract, which has officially been on hold for two years.

Get ready for Bell to implement a insecure system that will be hacked as soon as it gets online. Assuming that they even roll a system out.
