The nerve of some people, demanding accountability, what a putz! We would like to grift without public interference, thank you very much, and don't forget to vote for me again because the sky will fall otherwise.

To everyone grateful to the CBC for this reporting, as well as rightly concerned about US & corporate/billionaire ownership of our media oligopoly:
please send a letter to our PM and tell him not to proceed with his plan to cut funding for the CBC.
His plan to cut funding? You mean the plan to put $150mil into CBC?
Yep that was indeed the election promise!
But that was then, this is now, and despite that promise, Carney is instead looking to cut the CBC's budget by $198m.

The brain dead Useless Clown Party strikes again!
So, legalizing political corruption?
Sus.
In light of the existing scandals and general free-for-all vibe of this government, extremely sus.
Less accountability sure seems like it'll prevent scandals. Because there will be no way to find out that someone in government dropped $5K on hookers and blow...assuming that hookers and drug dealers provide receipts.
Because they have nothing to hide, I'm sure.
Tax and spend and silence Conservatives.
I guess everyone grifts. Let's erase the whole game board and start over.
It's going to take a couple hundred million years to start over, but the board wipe has already started
Under $100? I’m fine with that, assuming they’re also doing things to lessen the overall labour to manage those types of expenses. $100 doesn’t buy much.
I’d like there to be some kind of overarching monitor, though. There should be a threshold of $99 purchases before someone gets suspicious.
Once upon a time I got sick in the US and needed healthcare and had to work with their billing and my insurance to get the bill paid. I found it very suspicious that they tried to bill my insurance multiple instances of $9999.99, then one charge for the last of the balance. What radar did they think they’re flying under?
Over, not under.
Oh fuck me I misread the worst part.
