Dear Editor
Governor General Mary Simon spent $3 million on travel in 2022. We paid for it.
In 12 months, Simon and her bureaucrats racked up almost $3 million on five trips overseas and more than a dozen crisscrossing Canada.
Simon and her government globetrotters spent almost $100,000 on airplane food during a week-long trip to the Middle East and $71,000 on “Icelimo Luxury Travel” during a four-day trip to Iceland.
They also stayed in fancy hotels in far-flung destinations, including the Ritz-Carlton in Berlin, the Great Scotland Yard Hotel in England, the 1919 Radisson Blu in Iceland and the Jumeriah Emirates Towers Hotel in Dubai.
But this may be the worst part: Simon’s bureaucrats are lashing out at Canadians criticizing their wasteful ways. They should be apologizing for wasting our money on expensive trips, hotels and airplane food. But they think they’re entitled to waste our money on their lavish trips.
All the while, the Trudeau government is silent on the issue.
