Canadian here - I for one am just amazed that our government didn’t waste several million dollars on this completely pointless endeavour. Hell even $3500 is too fucking much. If the liberals had been in charge of this task, the tab would be over $10Million and we still would have nothing. Thank fuck for the fiscally…
