This is a YouTube video titled "Why Government Waste Isn’t Invisible" containing a monologue by Richard Canfield recorded in June 2025. In this content, Richard Canfield shares his critical views on government waste, drawing from his personal experiences with construction projects and observations of financial mismanagement within government operations.
I'm not the biggest fan of the government. It's not a specific area of the government. Here's where I do have a problem, because I've had exposure to blatant waste that I've seen with my own eyes. And I know that it happens if I can see it in little increments. Where is it happening in the large scale that we can't see? Elon's proved that with Doge down in the United States and how much money they found on wasted things. I had the unfortunate or fortunate pleasure to help rebuild and the construction of the Edmonton women's maximum security prison in the west end of the city. And in all of those environments, there were others, I saw blatant waste across the board. I have seen exactly how they view the spending of our dollars. It's been proven to me that they at the aggregate level can't be trusted. You might have great individual people that can be trusted, but they're fighting against the machine that just doesn't care to look after our and manage and steward the money of the population of a nation in an appropriate manner.
