CGI, the Canadian company whose U.S. subsidiary built the failed Obamacare website, was once contracted to build a federal gun registry for the Canadian government...
CGI's contract was canceled in 2007 after a report by the Auditor General found that the Canadian Firearms Information System (CFIS) being built by CGI was "significantly over budget" and that it had been plagued by delays.
The Conservative government that took power in 2006 canceled CGI's gun registry contract, and eventually repealed the Canadian gun registry entirely.
...
The failed gun registry was only one of CGI's many Canadian failures, which included canceled contracts to build health care databases in the provinces of Ontario and New Brunswick. Despite CGI's checkered record, the Obama administration awarded its U.S. subsidiary, CGI Federal, the $93.7 million contract to build healthcare.gov, part of $678 million in health care services contracts awarded to the company.
...
The U.S. does not have a gun registry, but one would be required, according to Breitbart News' AWR Hawkins, to implement the universal background checks that Democrats and the Obama administration tried to push through Congress earlier this year.

To all- please ping me to Canadian topics.
Canada Ping!
bttt
Was it intended to work?
Yes...kinda sad Obama couldn’t use an American company to run ObamaCare...
But Obama is also a big Free Trade Communist....so finding an American company to process ObamaCare is not on his list...
and that's when the shootin starts.
A Canadian company built his big black campaign bus. I think it cost several million.
CGI was also in on the eHealth Ontario fiasco

obama sure can pick them !
What happens when you delegate the CMS as the primary Contract interface. And now, Berwick is gone. Never checked the company’s records of performance??? Graft, gratuitous, no bid contracts awards to friends and collaborators/donors.
Too bad people are not equally outraged that you cannot shop this Barry obomination without entering all sorts of ID which can be used by all the, should be dismantled, government agencies.
We have seen the abuse of power by the IRS, NSA, EPA, DOJ.... so why on earth would we be willing to hand them everything they need to nudge us off our private property, off our health insurance?
These commies belong in the former Soviet Union as criminals.
Yup - cost us a fortune. Complete failure, or success, depending on how you look at it.
By the way, Berwick was one of 0bama’s unilateral “recess” appointments. That *#&@#@*# owns all of this.
It’s the US subsidiary that would get the 3 AM subpoena call. Still plenty of Canuck ballskin to grab here. Issa just needs to find the one who wrote the US checks to the dem party.
And then they’ll would wish they hadn’t.
My guess it was a reward for being good liberals.
Their website oozes with liberalism.
It’s called Facebook.
I am thinking of starting a website for my consulting firm that is just dripping with liberal ooze and another one where it is all conservative values and see which one generates more business
These peoople don't care what the law says. That has already been demonstrated time and again.
However, two can play that game.
These commies would have hanged back in the day.
