John Oliver - Canadian scandal. lol
- Thread starter TESLAMotors
- Start date
The real scandal is the $90 million annual budget for the do-nothing senate.
And then there's the $3 Billion dollar Centre Block "renovations" that will take more than a decade to finish, plus this:

For the 'work' they do they should all just stay in their home provinces (if they even know where that is) and use WebEx to talk to tele-conference about who got the most free meals that week or whatever they talk to each other about.Senators' refusal to walk an extra block to temporary offices could cost $24.5M
Finding temporary offices for the Senate could cost taxpayers an extra $24.5 million — even more than the latest big-ticket audit of expenses in the upper chamber.
And it's all because of one city block.
The cost of temporary Senate offices in downtown Ottawa could surpass the $23.6-million audit by the auditor general by nearly a million dollars if the Senate doesn't agree to extend its search boundaries by a single block, an internal government document shows.
Sticking with the current boundaries means Public Works would face a much costlier tender process, rather than being able to negotiate directly with a landlord.
The result would cost taxpayers $24.5 million more over 13 years than the government wants to spend.
That's actually not a bad idea Matt, tele-conference. But they won't, we both know it, they're an "entitlted" kinda bunch.
Life's so hard as a Senator having to endure ice cold camembert. Life's also hard as an auditor working overtime and spending $25 mil to find less than $1 mil in improper expenses.
Look at hollinger- they destroyed the company and spent hundreds of millions of dollars to prove a fraud of 6 million?Life's so hard as a Senator having to endure ice cold camembert. Life's also hard as an auditor working overtime and spending $25 mil to find less than $1 mil in improper expenses.
Forensic Investigations cost a lot of money and is seldom worth the cost- that's why white collar criminals get away with it

They're expensive because they are almost 100% audits, although one would hope that they can narrow down their search.
Sometimes they have a deterrent effect.
I also read that white collar crime in Canada happens more so perhaps, because our penalties are less severe than in the States.
A mitigating factor, as GPI alluded to, is potential savings down the road due to the deterrence factor.Life's also hard as an auditor working overtime and spending $25 mil to find less than $1 mil in improper expenses.
That's hillarous....Life's so hard as a Senator having to endure ice cold camembert. Life's also hard as an auditor working overtime and spending $25 mil to find less than $1 mil in improper expenses.
