Here are your tax payer dollars at work. The Canadian government spends $2M CAD on trinkets for Canada Day 2017, our 150th anniversary. $600k of this is purchased from Canadian companies. $1.15M is purchased from China. How revolting. We celebrate Canada Day by making celebratory purchases from another country? This money could have easily benefited fellow Canadians who are looking for work.
It is really sad when even in celebrations Canada cannot even support fellow Canadians. The government clearly is not getting the message that this is more than an irritant issue with the public, and this is not the first time this has happened. Any excuses such as government procurement rules are unacceptable. We must find a way, here in Canada, to support Canadians. This is so blatant that this is ridiculous. I should not even need to say or write this, but Canada Day celebrations should only use Canadian-made products.
Do you think China would do such a thing? Certainly not. They are much more patriotic about their country than Canada. China must be laughing at the stupidity of Canadians.
I am disgusted. This Liberal government really needs to go. They are deaf to the issues of common Canadians.
