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. :roll:

EDIT: URL doesnt want to work by click. Copy and pasting will however.

This is Canada where talking about. There national health care system essentially lost a billion dollars and no one even got fired.

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.

Yup, and the city has an estimated 10,000 of them floating around illegally already.

I did! I'm lucky though, my MP is Svend Robinson. And while I might not agree with him on all points, I can count on him to stand up for what he believes and not just go alone with the party line or what the polls say Canadian's want.
