How $1 Billion Went to China for BC Ferries – And No One Knew?!

from The LeDrew Three Minute Interview

Dan McTeague, former Liberal MP, joins LeDrew to discuss the shocking deal that saw over a billion dollars of Canadian taxpayer money go to a Chinese military manufacturer to build ferries for BC. Despite Canada having the technology and resources to build these ships domestically, the government decided to outsource the project, leaving Canadians in the dark. Dan explains how this decision happened, why ministers claim to know nothing about it, and why the media has largely ignored the story. Watch as they uncover the lack of accountability and the behind-the-scenes politics that led to this disastrous deal. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
