As a start, how about this:
More than eight months after the end of the 2020-21 fiscal year, the Liberal government has yet to table the ‘public accounts’ and related documents

Then there's the WE scandal and many other scandals where billions were wasted. The arrivecan app cost millions, and a programmer built a clone copy for fun for pennies. This amount of waste is constant with the government. There is probably lot of stuff we don't hear about too. I recall a TEMPORARY skating rink being built for a couple million, and it never ended up working because of the weather. So many dumb little things like that add up to a lot.
Then just look at the amount of people that work for the government.
In 2010 there was 282,980 who worked for the federal government alone, that's not even counting provincial.
In 2021 there was 319,601! Who are these 36,621 new employees and what do they do? Why could the government function with less 10 years ago than now? Even the number 10 years ago is high. They brag about how they "added new jobs" but it's all government jobs, that's not actually good for the economy at all. It's a burden on everyone.
The entire government needs to be downsized and slimmed down. We would all benefit from that because we would have more money to buy more things that we work hard for, instead of it going to a vacuum.
