Not in BC. Are you talking about things you don't understand, like Trump supporters?

What replacement government employees are you talking about? 

The BC Liberal Government made a decision that IT skills were something they were going to buy on a contract basis as needed. There is nobody left in the BC Public Service with IT Tech skills. IT support was all outsourced, as a deliberate policy. I left for the Private Sector.

Shiny new BC Common IT Services Manager to employees during their first meet and greet:

Anyone who thinks you are technical hold up your hands.

OK, those of you who still want to continue to be technical, leave your hands up.

OK, you folks with your hands up need to find somewhere else to work.

You can't make up stuff like that.

The outsourcer wanted me, but I turned down their $85 per hour offer to see how I would fare elsewhere. That went very well thank you. If you think government has big data you haven't seen a national Telecom Provider.
