An eye popper today that comes about just by the chance of looking 🧵

Liberal Government pays $935K for a $150K paving job🤪

While looking for something else I saw this description and my bullshit radar went off

WTF is “lane rehabilitation” 🤨

I found the contract details which detailed a repave of a 540sq m parking lot, and a 411 meter bike path in Ottawa, for a million bucks??😳

Its not easy to understand what this means so I keep going🧐

And because you can’t hate a woke wasteful Leftist Government enough, they had to do an environmental review, an indigenous consultation, and a public consultation, to repave a parking lot and build a bike path beside a road🙄

Bet this required at least 30 Govt employees🗑️

Here is the detailed work order

- repave a 540sq m parking lot
- make a 411 bike path

Here is the parking lot repave -

Here is the bike path that was created, with before and after

The tender was open bidding and awarded to the lowest bidder.
So who won this wonderful contract?

A company called Green Infrastructure Partners

This gets better stay with me😘

However, after the contract for the lowest price was awarded to Green Infrastructure Partners, 8 different contracts amendments were made, increasing the total cost to $935K ✏️

I’m not going to list all nine but you can find here if interested canadabuys.canada.ca/en/tender-oppo…

Green Infrastructure Partners is a subsidiary or related company of waste management company GFL Environmental 🫣

Seems the CEO of GFL Environmental had his home shot up, and said it was a mistake, a mix up, an error, nothing to do with him 🤥

Then when it was reported another GFL executive home was shot up, the CEO said it was another mistake, a mix up, an error, nothing to do with him🤥🤥

What are the odds?!?

These are our Govt contractors

So what does it cost to re-pave a 540sq m parking lot and build a 411 meter bike path?

About $150,000🤯

Just one payment, for one contract, for one paving job looks at least 500% higher priced, with contractors who may be suspect.

And just by chance, cause I was looking to shut down BS from MP @Francis_Drouin who suggested the dairy industry doesn’t cost taxpayers /fin
