How a pipeline project, purchased by the Trudeau government, went from an initial estimate of $5.4 billion to $30.9 billion, potentially leaving Canadian taxpayers on the hook.

    30 billion??? Fucking hell.

    Imagine all the social housing we could’ve built with that money instead.

    What a waste of public money. And SO MUCH money.

      Justin got it so Albertaskatchetoba would like him again.

      He was wrong.

      He’s still wrong.

      In fact, they will use it to hate him forever, for he flies the wrong flag.

      Depends on how well pipeline building skills translate to home building skills, I guess. There isn’t anyone accustomed to building houses that is free to build more. They are booked up for years to come. Money only helps if what you want to buy is available for purchase.

      If a sealed tube will suffice as a home then you may be on to something!
