CBC President and CEO Catherine Tait tops the Taxpayer Naughty List for dishing out executive bonuses that cost more than the average Canadian worker makes in a year.
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation has released its naughty and nice list.
Federal Director Franco Terrazzano says the head of CBC is joined by Global Affairs Canada bureaucrats for billing taxpayers $51,000 a month on booze.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford made the Taxpayer Naughty List for extending political welfare after promising to scrap it. And for breaking his promise to cap property tax increases, Winnipeg Mayor Scott Gillingham is also on the Naughty List.
For resigning over wasteful spending and saving taxpayers’ money in the process, former Kensington mayor Rowan Caseley tops the Taxpayer Nice List. Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey also made the Nice List for cutting gas taxes and fighting the federal carbon tax.
And the CTF says, “Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe made Santa’s good books for taking action against Trudeau’s carbon tax.”
