The Canadian Taxpayers Federation awarded golden pig trophies to politicians and bureaucrats who went above and beyond to waste your money.
The winner of this year’s Teddy Awards for government waste are:
CBC President Catherine Tait for handing out millions in bonuses while announcing hundreds of layoffs and begging for more taxpayer cash.
The city of Regina for spending $30,000 on a failed rebrand that came up with slogans like, “Show us your Regina.”
The Alberta Foundation for the Arts for spending $30,000 flying a Lethbridge artist to other countries to produce art few taxpayers would ever willingly buy or pay to see.
The Mission Cultural Fund for spending buckets of taxpayer cash funding birthday parties and photo exhibits for celebrities and making things awkward for countries around the world with sex-themed artistic performances.
