Good thing they didn’t hire an underqualified Canadian.
Blacklock’s- Pay Brazil Contractor $750/hr
A Brazilian contractor hired to manage a federal pandemic relief program billed taxpayers up to $750 an hour, auditors disclosed yesterday. “The program was not managed with due regard for value for money,” Auditor General Karen Hogan told the Commons public accounts committee. “We found significant weaknesses.”
Follow the money. Who got the kickbacks? That’s a serious question, someone in the Canadian government, their family or friends made money on this.
Maybe the “Brazilian” had to wax Freeland as the kickback.
Now there is an image you dont want in your head….
I just threw up a little in my mouth
I projectile vomited on my screen
legs just as hairy as her………forget it , the images will generate themselves.
This gives new meaning to the term,”wax eloquent”.
Our Western Nations are being LOOTED by every nefarious actor on the face of the planet. You think all those stores closing in San Francisco are just a novelty? You don’t really care that shoplifters have driven Walgreens out of business?
Well … you might just care when your government starts shutting down all funding for; Healthcare, Social Security, Pensions, Roads and Infrastructure etc. The amount of outright THEFT is crashing the system. Seriously … Trump’s DOGE may just be too little, too late to stop the bleeding.
we need to be prepared as ‘the end is near’ for this behaviour to run rampant; so much so it becomes like a runaway truck tire, a boulder rolling down the mountain triggering a landslide, the mentality ‘now or never’, ‘the well gonna run dry real soon’.
I have a serious pain in my stomach for your beautiful people and country. You deserve better. We are fortunate to have Trump, but , I agree. Maybe too little, too late. The swamp will resist draining like never before.
The “people” deserve what the “people” allow.
I wish Trump good luck in his endeavors trying to drain the swamp and rid the system of corruption, but I don’t think he has much of a chance.
The so-called “Deep State” is too firmly entrenched to allow much damage to their kingdom.
What is needed is a bloody military coup, and we are civilized beyond that point, so the bad actors are safe.
Maybe in a century or two when resources are more depleted and starvation is the norm for most of us peasants, there might be an uprising, but the DS will have built in safeguards for that eventuality.
Absolutely right. The left embodies all the base desires of humans and so is able to corrupt, coerce and violate endlessly. It takes powerful sermons and swift justice to herd people toward righteousness, both influences almost extinct today. The good and bad in us has teetered throughout time and at no time was there ever such powerful forces aligned to promote the bad.
unfortunately the FBI has been tainted since the cross dressing days of J.Edgar and his boyfreind
When you owe money you are enslaved to the ‘Beast’ …. Granted most have a need to borrow for a house, a car or a useful education that pays dividends down the road. Other than that live within your means …. pay it off asap and Don’t borrow frivolously.
If populations were thinking, they would just refuse to go to their daily work in protest of bad public policy at any level of gov’t and when the system ground to a halt, those gov’ts would be forced to heed or lose there tenure.
The catch is remain as debt free and independent as possible.
“Consultants” cost more than the entire canadian defence budget, they’re ‘friends of the Liberal Party’ hired to help the government take blame for decisions – and more is spent on them than soldiers, ships and planes.
Why is this little story news? This is the story of the whole government, we’re going broke stuffing Liberal Party pockets.
$750/hr. Hummm
Last week it was, ‘the other Randy’ who got the cash.
Next week? Have they started looking in quebekkie?
Read somewhere recently where the Canadian Govt. spent over $34 Million ($26.4 US) on sleeping bags for the Canadian military. However, the sleeping bags were so poorly insulated that they couldn’t be used in a Canadian winter scenario. The strange thing was, I could not identify the manufacturer. None of the media pieces identified them. I was curious to see if it was another of your cronyism debacles.
What I found amusing was that you can purchase a subzero weather sleeping bag for between $50 and $100 each. So, the Canadian military could have had the best available (between 200,000 and 528,000 bags depending on the model) for the money they paid.
It’s from Logistik Unicorp Inc. The details can be found here:
https://canadabuys.canada.ca/en/tender-opportunities/contract-history/w8486-195105/001/pr-009
When you look at the tender, it appears that it’s for 10000 Sleeping bag systems if 2 companies are successful or 5000 units if only one is. It’s not clear how many bidders were successful.
“The military is providing inadequate camping equipment”, said Tom Swift, portentously.
I thought the $750/hr was pretty good value for the money if you’re looking for someone to pi$$ away a few $billions.
Due regard for the value of money.
Is that ever a thing in gubmint?
How much did they charge to farm the work out to their subsidiary in Brazil?
“The audit noted that, at one point, EDC decided to hold an informal competitive process to identify companies that could build a loan accounting system to track loans under default. EDC then asked Accenture to run the process, and the company selected one of its own subsidiaries.”

It’s not just that they spent without controls, they seem to have also done it in a corrupt fashion by allowing a company to contract out additional work to another subsidiary without declaring the obvious conflict of interest.
