Hi John,
You told us who YOU think is the worst waste offender in government.

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation handed out Waste Awards to politicians and bureaucrats who wasted your money in the dumbest ways.

Then we sent out a survey asking YOU who you thought should have “won” the Waste Awards.

Here’s what thousands of supporters like you said about this year’s worst waste offenders:

About 90 per cent said Trudeau is the most worthy recipient of this year’s Lifetime Achievement Waste Award.

CTF supporters were a little more split about who should win the federal government waste award (there was some stiff competition).

About 40 per cent of CTF supporters picked Global Affairs Canada for spending $51,000 per month on booze, $8,800 on a sex toy show in Germany and $12,000 on a show where seniors in other countries talked about their sex lives on stage.

A close second was Statistics Canada (39 per cent). It spent almost $1 million making a podcast, but it wasn’t about statistics … Those bureaucrats made podcasts about climate change, arts and crafts, misinformation and gender identity.

CTF supporters picked BC Rail for the provincial government waste award. BC rail sold its trains and railway decades ago, but it kept its executives around and pays them hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The city of Calgary spent $65,000 so people could have a fake phone call with the Bow River. This is so dumb, I’m not surprised CTF supporters picked Calgary for the municipal government waste award.

I sat down with CTF Alberta Director Kris Sims and we broke down who YOU picked for the government waste awards winners. We also reacted to some of the hilarious comments and suggestions we heard from CTF supporters.

I just want to say THANK YOU for helping make this year’s government waste awards the best one yet. It’s always fun to mock politicians when they do something dumb. But it means more when we have an army of taxfighters like you taking time to give us your thoughts.

Thanks for fighting with us against wasteful politicians and bureaucrats.

All the best,

Franco Terrazzano
Federal Director
Canadian Taxpayers Federation
