Hi John,

Politicians hate when you laugh at them for wasting money. They can handle outrage, but they can’t handle mockery. 

That’s why, every year, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation hands out golden pig trophies for the worst wasteful spending in municipal, provincial and federal governments. 

We’ve given awards to massively wasteful spending like the long gun registry and Bombardier. We’ve also given awards to smaller, sillier waste, like when Montreal spent money clearing snow that wasn’t there.

We filmed this year’s government waste awards show live in Calgary. And let me tell you: the wasteful spending from politicians and bureaucrats was crazier than ever. 

You can watch this year’s awards show on YouTube. Just click this link: https://www.taxpayer.com/campaigns/golden-pigs-for-politicians

But don’t just watch the show. 

You know you pay too much tax because politicians waste too much money. But do your friends and family know about all the government waste? Please share the link with your friends and family so more Canadians can see how governments are wasting money. 

You can make sure you don’t miss any of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation’s videos by subscribing to our YouTube channel (it’s free). 

Thanks for fighting for taxpayers – you’re making a difference!

All the best, 

   Franco Terrazzano
