Prices in Canada continue to go up under Mark Carney’s government, and many of them are automatic, meaning that Parliament does not approve them (cost of postage, alcohol, passports etc.) Does this increasing reliance on ‘escalator’ taxes concern you? Let me know here!

Liberals spend tax dollars on cardboard cut-outs, Snapchat and Broadway tickets

May 11, 2017

Canadians have already heard many accounts of Justin Trudeau and the Liberal government mismanaging tax dollars – from the Prime Minister’s personal travel expenses, to Ministerial limo rides and office renovations.

But the vanity and misuse has hit a whole new level. Canadians recently learned the Prime Minister actually spent $2,000 on cardboard cut-outs of himself. The laughable excuse given for this arrogance was that the cut-outs were needed to champion the values that Canadians hold dear. Canadians aren’t buying it.

It the meantime, we’ve learned the Liberals spent at least $14,500 (US) on custom filters for the mobile app Snapchat over the past year, and also tens of thousands of dollars on TVs (including almost $14,000 for a single unit at Indigenous Affairs).

We also can’t help but notice Justin Trudeau has a way of handing out tax dollars to people who don’t want it or need it. Take, for example, his night out on Broadway with Ivanka Trump where he spent $30,000 on admission tickets for bank and law firm executives.

Are Justin Trudeau cardboard cut-outs, Snapchat filters and Broadway tickets for the Prime Minister’s elite friends a good use of your tax dollars?
