FEDS SPEND $6.7 MILLION IN SELF PROMOTION

Pens costing $78 each purchased by a Crown corporation lending money to farmers, 5,274 rubber ducks procured by Canada’s cyber security agency and $66 bottles of olive oil and balsamic vinegar bought by Canada’s small-business bank.
Those were just some of the more interesting items federal organizations bought to promote themselves, documents recently tabled in Parliament show.
Altogether, departments, agencies and crown corporations disclosed more than $6.7 million in spending on promotional items between January 2017 and February 2019, in response to an order paper question by Conservative MP Jamie Schmale.
