From the Canadian Taxpayers Association:
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation’s 2017 Teddy Waste Awards are coming up fast!
Every year, the CTF takes centre stage in the National Press Theatre on Parliament Hill to hand out golden pig statues to the worst money-wasters in government.
Do you have any nominees you’d like to send to us?
Have you noticed any local, provincial or federal politicians or governments wasting your tax dollars? How about a government department or agency?
If you know a waste story, please email us at [email protected]. Help us give Canada’s wasteful public spenders the attention they so richly deserve.
Our 2016 winners included Canada’s massive delegation to the Paris climate talks (283 people – more than twice as many as the United States sent!); the City of Calgary for its expensive ‘poop palace’ waste station; and Bombardier for a half century of government handouts.
Many of our winners are such outrageous stories you couldn’t make them up, and we certainly don’t need to!
The Teddys get a lot of media coverage every year: television, radio, newspapers, you name it. So please give us an internet link to a news story, or send us a clipping or a document. We need to be able to prove everything we say about a Teddy nominee. Exposing waste and corruption is serious business, even when it’s seriously funny!
Thanks for all you do,
–Aaron, Shannon, Scott and the rest of the CTF team
