Dead man brought back to life….again

Jan 11, 2018 | 6:05 AM

KAMLOOPS — For the second time in three months, a Kamloops man has successfully proven to the government that he is, in fact, alive.

In October, the federal government mixed up Bryan Kupiak’s social insurance number with his recently deceased mother’s number.

After some hand-wringing and assistance from MP Cathy McLeod’s office, Kupiak was brought back to life.

Last weekend, Kupiak’s wife received a GST notice from the Canada Revenue Agency designating her as a widow.

A frustrated Kupiak said dealing with the ongoing bureaucratic mix up was – quote – “too much to handle.”
