So, the government ‘lost’ 3.6 billion dollars (enough to fund the space program or cancer research for the next decade or so) and no one is trying to even look for these funds (WTF?). As of 2013 there is an estimated 35 Million people living in Canada (this number includes all age groups, not just tax-payers).
That means, by my shoddy calculations, we are each individually owed about $100.00. Of course when you factor in the unemployment rate/age of majority, it’s probably a lot higher.
I am not the greatest at math, I just divided 3.6 billion by 35 million…considering all the variables, the largest of which being that a considerable percentage of the population would be either too young or too old to contribute much to public funds, $100.00 is a damn low ball number.
I wonder where it went. —Tick Tock

That’s 1000 per head. It was likely math like yours that lost the money in the first place, OB.
uh…. awkward….
are you sure you aren’t the real stephen harper?
Governments change – the apparatchiks remain. Nobody votes for them, they are accountable to nobody, and they only lose their jobs when they fuck up very big-time and very publicly. Ask them where the money went.
Let me know if they deign to reply.
Actually it’s $102.86
Let’s ask Brian Mulroney and Conrad Black, they know about disappearing money.
LOL, dammit. Now that I’m at home and not on my phone the decimal place is blatantly obvious. Ok, dumbass award goes to me. 3.6 not 36, facepalm!
It happens to the best of us I guess.
They should put the money into detention camps for illegals living in Canada. We need bio metric ID cards, no card, detention camp for you. Immediate deportations, if ambulance chasing lawyer objects, he goes on the same flight.
Leg irons would keep blacksmiths in business.
yikes, i like the idea of blacksmiths, not too keen on the rest
Paul Martin was pushed out of office for a LOT less!
Paul Martin got to carry the colostomy bag that Jean Poutine spent a decade filling. People were tired of the Liberals and the arrogance that comes with having a majority government.
Something tells me I’ll be drawing cawks on my ballot, next federal election.
I think I’ll write “CROOKS” on mine.
Taking the fall for the sponsorship scandal…
National public outcry of 14 million which is pennies compared to fascist harper.
I refuse to capitalize his stupid name.
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that 3.6 Billion goes missing at the same time we’re finding out that Mike Puffy spent the last election eating and drinking on the public dime.
I don’t give a fuck if it is just a “few bad apples” – DISBAND THE SENATE!
The Captain is wondering if this is a good time to go on another rant about how we need a New World Government.
Down with the current system! Scrap Parliament! Vote Captain for Emperor!
Only if you promise to build us a Death Star.
Yes, a Lego Death Star is acceptable.
Done annnd Done!
Consider yourself the V.P. of H.R. for the Death Star Mark III, Col.
FYI: There is to be absolutely NO talk of unions while on the Death Star, or risk an ol’ fashioned force choke.
Worry not, my master. Perhaps I can find new ways to motivate them .
I’ll vote for the captain if I can be the ambassador to the Maldives.
Oh, and ambassador to great white sharks… I love sharks.
zZz, you’ll be the Ambassador General. Basically you’ll get to negotiate with the all scum and villainy that populates the galaxy.
Which includes Sharks…
And the Maldives…
The Brits can do weird far better, check these wankers out:

“So, Mayor Ford. The Jenny Crack diet plan doesn’t appear to be doing a lot of good, does it?”
Look how much they wasted on pacifying Chief Spence.
