Who wasted THE MOST taxpayer money in 2025?
Kris Sims is joined by Canadian Taxpayers Federation federal director Franco Terrazzano to break down the year’s biggest examples of government waste — and the cases where accountability prevailed.
Kris Sims is joined by Franco Terrazzano to break down the Canadian Taxpayers Federation’s annual Taxpayer Naughty and Nice List, a year-end assessment of how politicians and bureaucrats handled taxpayers’ money.
Kris and Franco walk through the most egregious examples of government waste from the past year, including politicians awarding themselves significant pay raises, governments running up massive deficits, and officials charging taxpayers for questionable travel and spending — all while Canadians face rising costs and economic uncertainty.
They also highlight a handful of cases where accountability did prevail, from watchdogs exposing creative accounting to political leaders pushing back against new taxes and resisting costly spending demands.
Together, they examine what these cases reveal about the broader culture of government spending in Canada. They also discuss what this year’s list says about accountability — and who is, and isn’t, watching out for taxpayers.

It's like a competition between the damn politicians at all levels, federal, provincial and municipal.
All irresponsible twits who live off the tax payers money and do whatever they please from creating wars to poverty. Some may even have a proper education but without wisdom and integrity, they are just a TS Elliot's Hollow man.
