After filing information requests with the government, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation recently discovered that Saskatchewan taxpayers have been picking up the bill for video games in government-run youth jails. Yes, video games.
Thankfully, the controversial expenditures have been outlawed by the government in the future. Remarkably, it took just six hours from the time we raised it with the Premier’s office to the time they indicated taxpayers would never again have to pick up the tab for video games in provincial youth jails.
