minus-squareSaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·6 天前$90B is l’il PP’s number, the actual estimate is $30B less. This is how cons work, add a fake number to something they want to kill, then kill it. The long gun registry was $2B/yr under Harper, yet no one could explain why. Quebec had their own registry after that and it cost $5M/yr. Of course, the economic benefit to this corridor longer term will be a much bigger number.
