Ottawa Scraps More Cash for Gun Program Fiasco
The Canadian government, under enormous pressure over a gun registry that cost hundreds of millions of dollars more than expected, scrapped plans on Thursday to pour even more money into the program.
Parliament had been due to vote later in the day on whether to spend an extra C$72 million ($46 million) on a program which has already cost taxpayers C$860 million. The registry, introduced in 1995, was supposed to cost just C$2 million.
It’s nice that the Great White North is so conscious about their citizenry, and cares so much about their safety as to spend millions and millions after promising to only spend a reasonable amount.

Right, because the US government is incapable of exceeding its budgeted amounts. The US government is the ultimate in fiscal responsibility. [sarcasm]
