   Conservative John Baird was the first to hold a Twitter Account in the Federal Government. The purpose was to help promote Canada Internationally.

   In 2018 Trudeau said that the Government would continue with this practice of having social media accounts.

   This a big waste of taxpayer money. Shouldn’t government business be more discreet? Are computers and telephones too old fashioned? Do they use these items for their own personal business? What other toys do they have that they charge to Canadians?

   These people are all about waste, fraud and abuse. Changes should be made.

   1. Oh, ahem…
      BTW: The Government is “sorry not sorry!”

2. Although this isn’t a small amount, I’d rather see PM Turnip’s cost to fly 10 times a week on a perpetual stump for re-election for 175 weeks (and counting) tabulated. And then how much real pollution and carbon dioxide was spewed.

   1. one good thing about pm trump being in the air, the climate is afraid to change.

3. Expect Trudeau to win an even greater majority this October, than the last time.

   There are more government employees in Canada, who will always, ALWAYS, reliably vote Liberal, than there are people in the private sector. That is why the NDP will for the rest of time, carry the city of Edmonton. Edmonton votes NDP, unions run the NDP, NDP can always be counted upon to hand out raises to the unions. Bigger pensions to the unions. Bigger unions.

   1. Because bigger Unions mean bigger political donations to the NDP.

      1. Followed by bigger raises to the unions… rinse, repeat.

         Socialism 101; the government owns everything and Napoleon needs mansions and private jets for the common good…

   2. mmmmm ya, until labour wizz buzzzzzzzzz hargrove shows up and clucks about ‘strategic voting’:

4. How does one pay, when using twitter? Does twitter charge Governments &/or Corporations a fee to post tweets? I don’t know, I’m asking.
   Yes, half of these could be considered waste, but I’d rather the government tweet some messaging, than pay anything in advertising to media outlets, be it print, radio or T.V. Messaging an comparable amount through MSM would undoubtedly cost Canadians, at a minimum 10 times what twitter costs are. And although I don’t care much for Twitter, I care even less for the bias Canadian media/news, even those beyond the State Funded Broadcaster.

5. I’m more concerned with the 133 million in taxes owed by some unnamed individual or corporation that was written off by the Libs.

   1. It was likely written off because it was uncollectable, unless it was a Bronfman. But when they forgive taxes for the Bronfmans the number is usually larger.

6. SO WHAT ? About a third of what the temporary skating rink cost. And CRA is only insuring you keep more of your money with their adds that keep appearing . You get a free laugh with that one and I am sure the adds are free. We need a revolt.

7. Big deal.
   $3 million is less than 1/3 of an Omar, or however you spell the little terrorists name and less than 1/10th of the total reward paid by the Petulant Pipsqueak to Son’s of the Desert Pedophile for their “representing Canada abroad”.
   Trudeau Two is but symptom of how deep the kleptocracy runs.

8. No doubt the unfolding is universal as it should be.
