Only a few days after Quebec Public Health apologized for posting a link to a Pornhub foot fetish video in a tweet on COVID-19 case counts, another Quebec ministry has been caught linking government webpages to not-suitable-for-work content. 

According to Noovo Info, Quebec’s Ministry of Transportation website for the Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine tunnel redirected visitors to a website selling various pharmaceuticals used to treat erectile dysfunction, including Viagra and Cialis.

The link was eventually corrected on Sunday morning.

The Ministry of Transportation did not respond to requests for comment from Noovo Info about the incident.

The latest boner by the Quebec government follows an apology and public retraction from Quebec Public Health after a staff member mistakenly hyperlinked a COVID-19-related tweet to a “Femdom feet worship” page on the adult video website Pornhub.

“Due to a situation beyond our control, a link with inappropriate content was posted on our Twitter account. We are looking into the causes. We are sorry for any inconvenience,” wrote Sante Quebec.

Pornhub is a Canadian-owned pornography company. The video-streaming website’s owner Mindgeek has come under increasing scrutiny in recent years after it was accused of hosting illegal content such as child pornography and sexual abuse videos.
