Sponsor this receiptThis is one line on one endless taxpayer receipt: documented federal Liberal waste since November 4, 2015, newest first.
See it on the full receipt →The Liberal Boondoggle is an independent receipt of publicly documented federal spending, not affiliated with the Government of Canada or any political party. Every item is taken from a public source and links to it, with amounts shown exactly as documented; where a project spans more than one government, it is dated to when the money was spent. If an item is ever shown to be wrong, it comes down and the correction is noted.
