Show Notes

It took Parks Canada four years and $10,000 (of your tax dollars) before they captured a single frog in British Columbia. 

All told, Parks Canada spent 15,000 hunting 101 frogs. 

And don’t forget: Parks Canada also spent $800,000 getting foreign hunters to kill 84 deer out of a helicopter – that’s $10,000 a deer!

You can mock Parks Canada for its frog hunt failure by picking up a brand-new t-shirt at the Canadian Taxpayers Federation’s online shop: https://shop.taxpayer.com/collections/t-shirts
