Wasting taxpayers money is job number #1 for Liberal politicians

Great reporting David. Why are we as taxpayers allowing these criminal acts to happen. Who has the contract for these busses?

[ritchmoore]

Chicken Sh$t politics. What else would you expect?

Thise prices are disgustingly BLOATED...BUT ISN'T THAT WHAT THE GOVERNMENT DOES? PAY THEIR FRIENDS 20 TIMES MORE THAN WHAT'S IT'S WORTH

[glengarbera]

These politicians can't stop being stupid.

[lawnboyfromhell]

Ask Edmonton how they like their 60 million dollars worth of buses that don't run and nobody can fix?

[christophercharles]

Honestly, Justin Trudeau and the Liberal party should not be in charge of Canada's finances any longer. We get poorer by the day.

[don-cwyz]

Bus with a range of 30 km? They break down almost daily? What a massive waste of taxpayer's money!
