What is the point in worrying anyway? Those putzes will have their trip to Paris and do what they do regardless. If they do things to hand Canada over to bankers (who own everything anyways), what then? They will go into the history books as bad governors and we move on.

Right. It is very easy to spend OPM and think nothing of it. And there is an unlimited supply, too when you are the leader of a country or province.

That happened in the late '70's. There are a few other memos you missed.

Compared to Michell's shopping trip in China this will be a freebie.

For everyone worried about the trip costs for Justin and all the Premiers plus Elizabeth May heading to Paris for COP21 on our taxpayer tab, read and share the following after a good cry.

Is it actual cash or just on paper? :)

Obama?

Actually it's a legitimate concern. Teleconferancing has pretty well precluded the necessity for tear a$$ing around the world. It was criminal the way Adrienne Clarkson pissed money against the wall flitting around the world with a huge entourage. They just need one gofer to help pack their sh*t!

Although I am suspect the trip might be wasted at least at this point
the PM is demonstrating a better civil tone in Ottawa and people at
least trying to cooperate that is a plus in itself.

That only goes so far too. There's a difference between treating people civilly and having to treat them like a bunch of babies. Watch for "cracks" to develop. Watch for a commotion among the ranks. Sounds like 5 women are already pissed off because they were assigned to "Junior" ministries that pay $20,000 less per annum. Minister of Finance is pulling down $1/4 million per annum and they all think they should be being paid that. F**king brats!

I never heard of any other country's representative dragging along a whole retinue of colleagues. It doesn't seem necessary. The details of the issue can be discussed and debated in Parliament and the representative convey the collective mind set at the convention.
Politicians at all levels are famous for getting 5 star vacations at the taxpayers expense.

Optics. He's all about the inclusiveness feels.
