Nice to Know There Are Governments More Wasteful Than Ours

4/8/26 Daily Mail:

A Canadian province spent thousands of dollars on a coffee truck promotion to recruit American healthcare workers, a taxpayer watchdog revealed. 

The government of British Columbia sponsored the coffee delivery stunt, which lasted approximately two days in June 2025.

It involved a branded pink-and-purple truck driving across Seattle to hand out 1,000 cups of coffee and napkins. 

The paper cups said, 'Fill your cup. Follow your heart to BC,' and included a link to the government's healthcare careers website...

However, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) revealed the province's government spent on $165,000 CAD ($119,134 USD) the promotion.

That breaks down to each coffee costing approximately $165 CAD ($119 USD) per cup.

That must be a very attractive employer if you need to spend that much money to recruit employees
