Flag phonies
I was looking all over the cbc site for this story about the 1996 Flag Flap that was also engaged in recently revealed fraud.
The government’s 1996 plan to hand out one million free flags is another boondoggle involving phoney invoices, a Liberal friendly advertising agency and massive overspending, a former party president says.
There was the added problem that it nearly bankrupted every flag retailer, too.
Braverman said the flag giveaway nearly put Canadian flag retailers out of business. “I estimated that the revenue that we lost was well into the millions,” she said.
