This town being your National Capital, Ottawa.
A town where the Department of National Defence spends about two million, that is 2 000 000 . 00, of your dollars taking cabs.
Glen McGregor, The Ottawa Citizen, writes that the pr hacks at DND use the excuse that "...it has about 15,000 people working at more than 50 different locations in the region. It needs taxis to get them together for meetings and other group activities."
There are these things called 'busses' but they are so declasse, eh?
The various government departments drop over six million, that's 6 000 000 . 00, of your dollars a year into cabs.
Are the taxi drivers grateful? Have you ever been in a cab in Ottawa? In fact, no, they are not: "'The government people, they don't give us too much tip,' says Jaswinder Singh, interim head of the union local representing Ottawa drivers."
Biting the hand that feeds his workers, way to go Mr. Singh.
