The Latest Canadian Governor General........BIG SPENDER!

Post by lesliepaul »

Well, just when you thought ex-Governor General Payette was one of the biggest Trudeau appointed "pigs at the trough" along comes another Trudeau appointed Governor General.........Mary Simon. There has to be video of her after being sworn in where she discusses the previous GC Payette and her spendthrift ways and TELLS Trudeau to.........."HOLD MY BEER"!

Lets see........Mary Simon who is used to spending Canadian taxpayers money prior to be given the GC of Canada "gravy train" role goes on a trip to the Middle East with 29 of her closest friends to attend Expo 2020 in Dubai (WHY) back in March and spends close to $90,000.00 FEEDING them.

.......I could go on but...........

You don’t get off that easy ^^^

In these times of trouble and strife, thin wallets and high prices, another spendthrift such as Mary Simon does NOT go down well with struggling Canadians already saddled with JT overspending like an irresponsible idiot.

Libs, Nibs and those associated with them have NO idea what average peep is dealing with.

To see almost 100 grand spent on swilling liquor down their undeserving and grasping throats makes my blood boil too.

A little more info is needed on this story:
the department said upon further review of the receipts, the cost was about $13,000 lower than reported to Parliament, and included three dinners, three breakfasts, two lunches and various snacks for 29 passengers and 17 crew.

Catering does not include alcoholic beverages consumed aboard the aircraft. :130:

Simon’s trip also used up 146,872 litres of fuel, costing taxpayers $248,127.02 in refuelling expenses.

Another big spender.
Last week, it was also revealed that Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault and 5 staff members spent $101,712 in taxpayer money to attend a climate conference in Glasgow.

The charges included $12,653 worth of meals, $37,171 for airfare, and nearly $50,000 in hotel fees.


Trudeau? We haven't got the space to include his spending.

Hey, how are all of you doing with your living expenses? Gas, food, beer? Got any money left over for entertainment?

Grocery shopping today, (company approaching this weekend), gasping in awe at price today compared to two weeks ago.

At one time, not that long ago, I had a good handle on what items cost stored in my computer-like brain.

Can’t seem to mesh the reality of today with yesterday. Menu in hand, ingredients listed, still wound up looking for substitutes like, maybe they’ll take me out to dinner?

Bewildering is the name of the game now. How many substitutions can you make before realizing that the photos on boxes might be the meal itself?

ETA: Agree with you 100% lesliepaul

Looks like she's on another spending spree.

Governor General expensed $71,000 in limo fees for four-day Iceland trip in 2022.
Where does this entitlement come from? The Liberals or past lifestyle?

Let's start by teaching her, and every civil servant a little spending restraint.

Here's another shot at her.
https://twitter.com/KirkLubimov/status/ ... gr%5Etweet
You can't be even pretending to be a public servant if you don't care at all to how you spend tax payer dollars.
How is it possible to spend $71k on limos in 4 days?
That's $740 an hour for every hour of the 4 days.
At no point there was not even pause to think of the costs. Absurd.


I wonder if she ever got off her *bleep* once and considered walking.

I wonder if any of us recall the furor over a glass of orange juice.

Those were bargain basement days compared to what is being spent now.

Yes, and the funniest part was that she was in Iceland for a "climate conference" - flying in on a government jet, using a $71,000 limo to attend. You just can't make this crap up man.
