  1. We need to abolish this highfalutin and wasteful GG job that is contributes nothing but a tax $ drain to Canadians.

  2. $3100 for in flight catering each?? More Liberal insanity I figure. I believe Canadians would be near shocked to death to find out much more such batshittery

  3. This is a disgrace and completely disrespectful to each hard-earned taxpayer dollar that the government receives from Canadians. I wish I could spend $3,100 on a flight for catering. This is horrible.

  4. Unreal that they can do this while Canadians starve waiting for benefits and disability payments!

  5. Common sense?!?!?? We need economist and experts our government is filled with useless politicians

  6. What was her purpose for this trip? Didn’t take her long to start abusing our tax payer dollars.

  7. It’s time to start eliminating these ridiculous positions that don’t do anything to promote Canada!,

  8. Why is the GG even going there???????????????????????? What part of her job warrants this? She is not an elected official

  9. We need to change the way in which the GG is chosen . We need to change the way in which the GG’s office is managed. We have relied on an honors system, and yes… many GGs have behaved very well. But lately …. They have been rubbish. Not surprisingly, they were chosen by Trudeau.

  10. We as Canadians have been pouring money into this position as the GG does not care. If it stays the money should be doled out by an independent source. I am pissed off at this and so are hard working Canadians.

  11. You will recall a Harper cabinet minister resigned for purchasing a $16 orange juice. See what Canadians are willing to accept now.

    1. She was pretty well forced to resign. She resisted that move right up to the point of being thrown under the wheels of the PC bus…and she claimed forever afterward her justification for ordering a $16 glass of orange juice. Bev Oda learned nothing, showed zero humility in her disgrace.

  12. End the pensions. They made enough and didn’t have to pay for anything while they were in the position.

  13. Haven’t we been down this road before? Why does the government never learn? Get rid of this position as it is a total waste of money. Since so many like to yammer on about the environmental footprint, this would definitely help!!! Follow the science Trudeau!
