In what seems like an almost daily occurrence, new reports point to the extravagant lifestyle of Adrienne Clarkson.
GG joins summer jetset
Forget the tiring road trips — Gov. Gen. Adrienne Clarkson flies on government jets when she enjoys down time at her summer cottage in the Muskokas. Clarkson, who has come under fire for an exploding budget and pricey globetrotting, was ferried at least twice to her private summer residence on Georgian Bay at taxpayers’ expense.She travelled on board a Transport Canada King Air because Parry Sound’s landing strip isn’t long enough to accommodate the government’s luxury Challenger jet.
Where is the accountability here?
Are there no checks and balances in this system of ours? Lets take a look at headlines, we blow nearly a billion + dollars on a ill-advised gun registry, we dump hundreds of millions on a globe trotting elitist, we lose $159 million to Hewlett Packard, and we line the pockets of corrupt Liberals and their Liberal friendly advertising companies. And this is just in today’s paper!
I can not believe I pay taxes so this utterly inept government can pay lip-service to democratic and institutional reform.
Abuse of taxpayer money is not just a Liberal trait, the Conservative Klein Government spends millions every year to whisk themselves around the world.
Hey, why not jet to lunch in Calgary, Edmonton is short of conservative lobbyists to pick up the dinner tab.
