U.S. Taxpayers Bailing Out Canadian Ruling Class

Did you feel a little lighter in the pockets after filing your 1040 this month?  U.S. taxpayers are another $37 million in debt thanks to the Canadian ruling class.  Back in December of 2012 the U.S. Pentagon announced a new contract for Canadian millionaires to perform work in Afghanistan for the Air Force.

UNITED STATES TRANSPORTATION COMMAND

            Canadian Commercial Corp., / Canadian Helicopters Ltd., Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, is being awarded a $37,103,792 option year modification for rotary wing aircraft, personnel, equipment, tools, material, maintenance and supervision necessary to perform passenger and cargo air transportation services.  Work will be performed in Afghanistan, and the option will start Dec. 1, 2012, to be completed by Nov. 30, 2013.

So who is the Canadian Commercial Corp.?  Their website describes their duties pretty clearly:

A Crown corporation of the Government of Canada, the Canadian Commercial Corporation (CCC) acts as Canada’s international contracting and procurement agency.   

CCC helps Canada live up to its responsibilities as an active partner in North America’s integrated defence industrial base. 

Every year, CCC manages an average of $1 billion in contracts for goods and services to be delivered by Canadian companies to the U.S. DoD and NASA. 
Over the past 55 years, Canada’s DPSA contracts have totalled more than $30 billion.

Did you vote to spend that $30 billion?
