Lost Canadian Gold Isn't Lost After All

Post by minks »

After reading Lon's post on the cost to the USA to take census yesterday this news item caught my eye here in our Canadian news....

We tax payers are now on the hook for ~$1.4 million for an investigation into the Canadian Mint as ~$20 million worth of gold went missing.

Well well well it ended up being a bookkeeping mistake. smiley:yh_doh:yh_doh:yh_doh

Royal Mint spent almost $1.4M to find gold | Money | Toronto Sun

(note my link may not work proper again cause I am hopeless)

But honestly we have to pay for this goof up from our pockets.... geeze where is the justice in all that.!!!!

Canada doesn't use the gold standard still, does it? How old fashioned!

I wonder. The accounting company that got the audit job? Are they friends of the Cons? Good luck finding any info. Transparency is gone thanks to Harper.
