And the winner is...

If the glitzy Academy Awards ceremony wasn't enough to hold your interest, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation has issued the results of its 7th annual Teddies Waste Awards honouring "the best of the worst in government spending". A humorous look at the way your tax dollars are spent, the Teddies list federal, provincial, and municipal nominees and winners.

"In the spirit of the entertainment awards season, Teddies are awarded annually to a public office holder, civil servant, department or agency that most exemplifies government waste, overspending, over-taxation, excessive regulation, lack of accountability, or any combination of the five."

You can view the Teddies results on the CTF web site at:
