Show me the waste. Gun registry? Nope that costs about a million now to administer.

Health Care? Idealogically you may find it wasteful but politically it's not. People like it in its current iteration. And what are you really saying, that the Liberal's platform would be to reduce waste (funding) for health care. yeah that's a winner

Where else? Billions in dollars in fighter jets? Oh no that's not waste because I'm wearing a blue jersey.

Bottom line, there is very little "waste" to get rid of. It's just a convenient and asinine talking point of the extreme right wing.

Completely and utterly false.

The RCMP, which took lead responsibility for the program in 2006, claims it is doing so more efficiently than its predecessors. Elsewhere in the report the RCMP puts the annual net cost of the Canadian Firearms Program for 2010-11 at $66.4-million

More than that...what has the program done for anyone's safety? Since that was the whole idea behind the thing to begin with. It was an assinine idea then as it is now, but Canadians are still stuck paying for it even though the CPC attempted to eliminate it in September.

I can't believe anyone claims there isnt wasted money in any government, regardless of who is governing. Then to pin it on "right wing extremists" takes it to another level of absurdity.
