Why are these women still cabinet ministers? Someone please tell PM Cuck that it's 2016.

Nearly all the photos from COP21 published by the department feature McKenna herself.

She appears in almost every shot from the conference posted on her ministerial and departmental Twitter accounts, and in each of the 23 pictures currently on ECCC’s Flickr photo-sharing account.

“Photos, like press releases, social media and other communications tools, are a way to communicate to Canadians the work the government is doing on their behalf,” McKenna’s spokesperson, Caitlyn Workman, said in an email.

That's pretty awful. The next thing you know Liberal cabinet ministers will be flying around in helicopters commandeered from the military.

Women were supposed to fix our corrupt male society. What happened?

Meanwhile, Another five hundred that a certain health minister will be paying back.


Liberals, folks, entitled to their entitlements. Same as it ever was.

Question is whose money will she be using to pay it back?

"I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking, And I plan on finding out what that is" Could this be the new Liberal logo?

Meanwhile public schools continue to be underfunded, street kids continue to be homeless, suffer mental health problems, become addicted to drugs to numb the pain, and turn to prostitution to support the drug problem, food banks are short of food, homeless shelters are bursting at the seams.

But priorities I say.

LOL.... Peasant problems.

 

[PoliticalNick]

Just wondering if there is any connection between the photographer that charged $10k and the liberal party?

Hint, Schools are provincial.

Does it matter which jurisdiction which issue falls under? All governments waste money like toilet paper at all levels. Your comment appears to be defending the waste of $10k on some pics for facebook...kinda tells where your priorities are.

It "appears" does it, maybe get your eyes checked. This thread is about federal waste. The majority of shyte that machjo posted does not fall under federal authority. Not that I expect him to get very much right when he posts.


As for the "10K", there are 2 links there, and their titles have 2 different amounts. Which is it, 10k or 6k, or is it a significantly lower number? Did the Conservatives spend a similar amount of money during a similar event for a similar thing? I would lay odds that the answer is yes, but that the right wing pundits would rather ignore that.

I don't care if it's 10 or 6 and I don't care if it's Libs or PC or NDP or even my own Libertarians it's still waste and should be stopped.

 

[WLDB]

All governments do stuff like that. Its annoying. I dont get the purpose of hiring a photographer when there will be plenty of press people with cameras around doing i for free.

Question is whose money will she be using to pay it back?

Doesnt really matter to me as long as its paid. Their own pay cheque, a friend or relative, bank loan - just do it.

Agreed, and they are looking at cutting back and being more transparent.

Catherine McKenna calls for review after $6,600 photography bill at climate summit - Politics - CBC News

and here's a lil tidbit that the con supporters would rather forget about when pointing the finger at the Libs.

During their time in office, the Conservatives faced questions of their own about photography expenses. An iPolitics investigation found that the former government of Stephen Harper spent more than $2.3 million to photograph Conservative cabinet ministers at various events during its time in office. For example, the photography bill for Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird's week at the United Nations in 2014 cost $13,113.

The real question is would she be calling for a review and such had it not been exposed. I would guess most likely not. Same with the limos and luxury lounge pass etc. You can't do this stuff and expect paying it back once caught with your hand in the honey pot makes it better. Their obvious intention was to not use their own money and not be responsible with taxpayer funds.

As I have pointed out, paying for photographers is not something new. The cons were very adapt at it. I don't remember them ever saying that they would look at ways to cut back on that expense. McKenna is. What her staff did is norm for the ministry. She, personally, did not benefit.


The limos and the lounge passes, that was outside the "norm", but then again, none have commandeered an armed forces helicopter to ferry them around.

Again...Would she be 'looking into it' if she hadn't been caught? I think not.

All of those are Provincial issues, not Federal

McKenna? She wasn't "caught". Her ministry did what every other ministry has done previous. She has decided to look at the policies because people are questioning the expense in todays economy.
