Canadian Gun registry program 44,050% over budget
http://www.canada.com/national/story.as ... 84D87D6454}
Originally the government was to pay just 2 million for this, assuming they actually got what they expect in user fees they've somehow spent over 883 million, or 44,050% more then expected.
This while the New Jersey National Guard has more ammunition then the whole CDF.

This is Canada where talking about. There national health care system essentially lost a billion dollars and no one even got fired.Crazy_Vasey wrote:How the fuck do you go 44000% over budget? It's not like you can just wake up one morning and suddenly be that much iver.
And of course even with this system which means it costs 400$ just to get a permit, you can illegally buy an Ak-47 and a 1000 rounds of ammo in Vancouver for the same amount.
