Remember when Justin Trudeau promised to run a “modest” $10 billion deficit after he got elected?
And, remember how the Liberals’ first budget—with a projected $30 billion deficit— actually weighed in at about three times the “modest” one they promised?
Well, you might also recall all of that public debt was a debt of choice, not circumstance. Canadians trusted that the federal Liberals were spending our money as a means of investing it in our future.
Well, I’m sorry to report:
The Liberals aren't investing our money. They're spending it on themselves.
According to a fresh order paper submitted by the federal Conservatives, government departments, agencies, and crown corporations were asked to “provide a response concerning all gala, concert, or sporting events tickets” they purchased using taxpayer funds.
The order paper reveals that Liberal cronies are really using our money to send themselves to fancy galas, football games, fancy tennis tournaments, and even… Justin Bieber concerts.
You've got to see it to believe it!

Never double down on stupid
My thoughts as well Bill. You must itemize every detail or the claim is rejected. Why was this not rejected as with other expenses that were vague. Instead it is rubber-stamped (approved automatically). There are a number that should have raised a flag prior to its approval. By self-indulgence I mean – for self usage (family/friends).
One expense listed: Toronto Film Critic Association – 19th Annual Gala
an expense of $2500 – 5 guests included
reminds me of the Toronto International Film Festival.

The fact that it touched conservative member’s desk does not make it a conservative document or source.
Hey, Faith, if that is your source why don’t you support the Conservative Party whole heartedly?
Rona Ambrose and the gang would be happy for your support. Go for it. Why do you not announce your support for the federal Conservative Party of Canada?
Meals/drinks while discussing contracts etc. is the norm, but not self-indulgences. I do not believe such an item as the concert tickets was to curry favor but rather was a self-indulgence. The temptation for the abuse of tax funds is too great to pass up for Liberals as the past has clearly shown, both federally and provincially.
Remember how the Libs went nuts over Bev’s glass of orange juice? You’d think they’d be practicing self-control since they claimed to be superior to the past government. Just goes to show what self-indulgent hypocrites they really are.
Yes indeed, the Canadian Liberals are back at the trough and loving every minute.
Thanks Faith for the good work!!
I’ve been in the game of securing government contracts and I can tell you a lot of patronage is bought and sold
