@KenBoessenkool Still, it did produce the tidbit that the GG took along a pollster (very good one too) on the trip. #cdnpoli

@KenBoessenkool Some Cdns/journos won’t be happy until PM/CabMins et al are stopping at the food bank en route to their 3rd floor walkup. We can be so parochial at times. Checks and balances are important but childish takes are an unnecessary distraction from serious issues.

@KenBoessenkool It's not about the money for me per se, though a bit of restraint would be optically good given the financial position of many taxpayers. Why is our GG attending this event in the first place? This is a 100% boondoggle completely unrelated to her role. Stay in your lane GG.

@KenBoessenkool Curious why you would say that. 700k of taxpayer money to attend a funeral is obscenely excessive imo

@KenBoessenkool It's the RepubliCon Postmedia. Not worthy or reading. I've stopped reading or sharing anything from them. When you use anger for clicks & don't care about the message. I was tired of fact checking every damn thing post, almost entirely false every time. No thanks.

@KenBoessenkool Diversionary tactic

@KenBoessenkool It's just getting stupid....these trips cost for a whole bunch of reasons a regular person can't relate to or even know. But to do this decade after decade without qualification even is just absurd.

@KenBoessenkool We are the most inveterate cheapskates when it comes to the basic functions of government.

@KenBoessenkool What was the value for Canada? And why did she need a pollster to come along?

@KenBoessenkool Cheap outrage. Good for clicks.

@KenBoessenkool Keeping them honest is their job dude

@KenBoessenkool @Scribulatora NP is foreign interference

@KenBoessenkool @Scribulatora Really curious about what all of these hotel stories resurfacing is meant to cover up or distract from. @PierrePoilievre embarrassing us internationally? @PierrePoilievre and @CPC_HQ MPs making wild accusations against Mr Dong without any actual evidence?

@KenBoessenkool @Scribulatora I wish our GG wouldn’t needlessly spend our $$ on book fairs and trips home… but I guess we all have our preferences

@KenBoessenkool It can be....
