Back to the 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. This site has no accounts and no comments and does not ask for your personal information; support payments are processed by Stripe under Stripe's own privacy policy, and we never see your card details. Support payments are not tax deductible: this is not a registered charity and no tax receipts are issued; you will receive only an email confirmation of payment.
