"Global Affairs Canada (also) doles out $350 million in corporate welfare to the private sector in Asia to develop low carbon and climate-resilient initiatives and advance gender equality in the region."
Other wasteful spending in Ottawa includes Global Affairs Canada spending a significant sum on a sex toy show in Germany, and funding discussions on seniors' sex lives abroad.
Parks Canada spent four years and $10,000 trying to capture a single bullfrog, and $800,000 to hunt 84 deer on a B.C. island, costing nearly $10,000 per deer due to the use of helicopters and extensive ammunition.
