1319...Sell Low, Buy High: Your Tax Dollars In Play

"In May, the government accidentally sold off heritage silver and china from Rideau Hall on the Crown Assets government disposal website usually used to off load old desks and filing cabinets. The government has since paid $95,150 to get back pieces it sold for $3,934."

Elizabeth Thompson from Sun Media wrote that and it is both funny and true and sad all at once. Plus, of course, there was the labour that was involved in selling and re buying all this stuff.

Not a partisan thing, just a bureaucratic thing, but something to share with your friends over a cup of coffee.
