Canada

Several things.

The gov was giving away 54 billion dollars with virtually no accountability in wage subsidies. AFTER the fact they tried to claw it back from the many who claim it illegitimately with very little success.

In total they gave out 360 billion which would be lovely if it actually went to where it was supposed to go, but we'll never know because there was very little accountability when the cheques started rolling. There are plenty of scams when they gov even pretends to care about our dollars but during covid, they just printed money for anyone who stuck out their hand.

They were also giving out money hand over fist for things like the ArriveScam app. 60 million disappeared for nothing.

They also give out 323 million for a pharmaceutical plant in Quebec that never even broke ground.

They also spent 1 billion on vaccines that went to waste, not used or expired.

They also spent 807 million on 27000 ventilators and only 500 of them were actually used, the rest were scrapped still in their packaging.

They were giving contracts to people like Randy Boissenault, who was a sitting MP who was grifting the gov with his 'not arms length' medical supply company run by 'the other Randy'

And while that was all going one, to top it off they were shoveling money out the door with the Green Slush Fund, for which the Auditor General found about $123 million in inappropriate contracts, $59 million in ineligible projects, and over $330 million in potential conflicts of interest. That's YOUR tax dollar going to the Liberals friends for "development" of nothing in particular. When Parliament ordered the Liberals to open the books and show us where the money went, they prorogued and shut down the House. Nothing suspicious about that.

To say that this government is incredibly wasteful and sloppy with our money is an understatement.

But somehow, magically, this is all going to turn around now that Carney's PM. Ok then, pardon me for not believing that. .

Everyone knows Libs caused COVID.

Jokes aside it's very easy to criticize any decision during COVID after the fact, but it's much harder to make the case you could have done it better with the facts at the time.
