Savings and cost cutting

Times are interesting and definitely a time to tighten the budget belt.
Here is an interesting tidbit on another bad decision.
I bet there are a few.

Rent an empty hanger as well as, it seems this department has had some major funding issues.
This is not a bashing forum but to maybe identify some potential areas for trimming or closer scrutiny.

I have no faith, since I am sure the Marxist public sector unions will block every move. The unions are FAR, FAR to the left of the NDP even.

The unions are basically communists, I mean, they practically oppose the right for jobs to exist. I am pretty sure that the union leaders eat babies and rape goats. We're all going to die.

There is a significant difference between their demands and even the NDP platform. The NDP is moderate in comparison.

Every party's platform is more extreme than what it actually does or would actually do, and what they actually do is more moderate than their extremist supporters. Likewise for the Conservatives, they're far more moderate than the right wing Christian groups that support them. Thankfully, the right wing Christian groups don't have anywhere near as much influence as the unions.
