Quebec government employees might need a crash course in how to properly share hyperlinks.
On Monday, Transports Quebec (Ministry of Transport) confused a link to the Louis-Hippolyte Lafontaine bridge-tunnel repair site with a site selling Viagra.
Last week, the Minister of Health and Human Services’ Twitter account posted a link to a foot fetish website Pornhub instead of its daily COVID-19 data.
The Louis-Hippolyte Lafontaine Bridge-Tunnel is currently under repair and the Transports Québec website usually provides updates through its online portal. This time, however, the hyperlink led to a website selling pills that treat erectile dysfunction.
Looks like the Quebec government employee confused redirect links with re-erect links…
The bad hyperlink was corrected at 10:30 a.m. Monday, and Transports Quebec has yet to provide an update on the blunder.
As is the case with the Internet, errors are not easily overlooked. Here is a screenshot of the hyperlink gaff:
