When Prime Minister Justin Trudeau attended the Tragically Hip’s farewell concert in Kingston, Ontario this summer, his Office was quick to say that his tickets were paid for by private funds, at the invitation of band frontman Gord Downie.
Trudeau attended the concert alongside senior staffers Gerald Butts and Katie Telford, as well as the Liberal MP for Kingston and the Islands.
Even though Trudeau flew the short jaunt from Ottawa to Kingston and back on the government’s Challenger jet, additional staffers went by train, and billed the taxpayers, according to documents obtained exclusively by the Rebel under Access to Information.
When the prime minister travels for personal purposes, generally he and his passengers take the Challenger, but pay—out of pocket—the market rate for economy airfare.
Despite the Rebel’s request for all travel-related documents and expenses, no Challenger expenses or reimbursements for Trudeau were included.
The concert was held up as a unifying moment for Canadians — but it didn’t come for free.

Now get real.
“And? Your saying because it cost us a few dollars it’s not worth it? Since 100% of all. Isn’t he makes goes to cancer research. Rebel entertainment strikes again. Lol "
Gave up threatening The Rebel I see. Tired of citing the criminal code incorrectly? Perhaps copy/pasting just too much effort?
Go back to CBC you troll.
It’s been around for a while and there’s a few credible names associated with this.

I believe it was 1907 when Alberta joined Canada… And they did so by signing onto a piece of paper. I’m sure that it wouldn’t be that difficult to sign off the same way it was signed into.
I will look into it.
I’m sure most of western Canada if not all would be on board.
Petitions obviously don’t work so what do you suggest as the first stepping stone to western independence?
What the hell is wrong with people… All you have to do is look at the dollar and reference it to its lowest point during the reign of Pierre Elliot and one can see there’s not much difference to the lowest point from Junior’s shenanigans and as a result of a lack of a working knowledge in economics..

Notice how CBC will not allow posting on this article, the cheerleading continues.
We saw the beginning of public rejection of this virtue theatrics at the Grey cup reaction to his communist sympathies. It will be debasing to watch his pathetic doubling down on all these transparent theatrics which conceal his core identity – the fumbling face-planting offspring of a globalist-socialist dynasty. Both these (political dynasties and crypto-communism) are dead effigies of waning era = His mindset refuses to believe we are past the cold war and past the post-coldwar globalism era to the emergence of democratic populism and renewed nationalism. History will treat him as the delusional fool he is.
As for poor ol’ Gord Downie, he has fatally disgraced his memory/legacy by pandering to crass political dogmatism, furthering a foreign agenda for his nation by unwittingly promoting a globalist regime – when he spent a lifetime promoting an independent Canada and personal and social catharsis (not political) as the only solution to what injustice exists. A sad end to a once philosophical man.
How much longer can we afford both financially and emotionally to watch this elected fool literally destroy the country… I find that most frustrating that all we do is piss and moan on websites like this but don’t actually get together and brainstorm like they do (TPTB) to figure out how to roll this little prick out of office.
The longer we leave him in there the more we deserve him.!!
But I would prefer paying for him to go to concerts in Canada vrs him taking trips outside of the country. Every time he or his ministers fly off, we are saddled with the cost of their generous gifts. A hundred million here, seven million there, two billion to the UN… so the Hip concert was more or less what he bills for lunch at the finest restaurants.
Born with a gold spoon in his mouth, Baby Doc hasn’t yet figured out that if you borrow money, that money has to be repaid. You don’t give away borrowed money because – in this case – Canadians without trust funds and numbered investment corporations have to pay it back with interest.
Its all about him. Adulation. Selfies. Needing people there to make certain he looks and sounds (uh uh uh) good. There is no expense that he will not bill us for because, after all, he is entitled to his entitlements.
Here’s a guy we can identify with. After this interview with Carol Off, O’Leary gets my vote!!
