Be nice to know which dealership these vehicles were purchased from and who the owners are. I’m sure CBC CTV Global will be all over that now that the mid terms are over.
Taxpayers will lose between 5 and 10 million dollars from this gambit. If they had rented that many vehicles for a couple of days, it should have cost somewhere in the range of $200,000 to $300,000.
10 million ? Is that all ?
That’s barely even Khadr level money.
The budget will balance itself.
Strangely, lots of big gas guzzlers but not one of those cars was electric. That seems more than a little hypocritical.
I’m speechless!!
I got nothin. holy shit.
PM Payout and his crew of neo-Marxists spent over 310 Billion in fiscal 2017-18 so they really just don’t care. To them this is a rounding error. When Liberal’s burn money they do it for our own good…and to remind us of who our betters are.
What do you expect from a government that sees the taxpayers as its personal piggy bank?
I’m sure the money went to good Liberal car dealers who charged a great price. Its called wealth redistribution.
Since the summit was in early June, I wonder who’s been using them all this time after the summit,
or maybe they just sat there, depreciating, so good liberals can get a new car at bargain basement prices
You guys are so unfair to the poor government workers. Why should they worry about getting the best price for the barely-used cars? It’s not -their- money, after all.
While I was teaching, I heard a rumour about that sort of thing happening at my institution.
The security staff apparently needed SUVs to get around campus which, frankly, wasn’t all that large. The institution bought several of those vehicles for their use but they had to be “replaced” after a year or so. Why that was necessary wasn’t made clear to me.
Those SUVs were auctioned off by the government but–surprise! surprise!–some of those same security people just happened to have submitted a suitable bid….. purely by coincidence, of course.
The result was that someone got a fairly new, low-mileage motor vehicle at a price far lower than retail.
Democracy is a system that guarantees people always have the government and the leaders that they deserve.
I wonder if I can bring a section 13 complaint against Brian, for besmirching the good names of all the people who voted Liberal? Cause you know it’s coming, might as well be MY payday…
That’s 90 vehicles per G7 leader. Beyond the crazy government waste and corruption issue, doesn’t 90 vehicles per leader seem ridiculously excessive?
I could see buying 7 new cars for the leaders because they may need modifications for security reasons. The rest of the 624 vehicles, if needed, should have been rented *and* paid for by the other 7 countries. Why are Canadian taxpayers picking up the tab?
Just heard yesterday that the Federal government send staff to southern France on all expense paid French immersion courses. Up to 3 months at a time. I thought sending them to Quebec City was bad enough when night courses in Ottawa should do the trick. Nothing surprises me when it comes to bureaucrats justifying their feed at the trough.
Brian can chase that story all he wants, but the odds this will make a dent is long odds.
This story however has legs
The reason it resonates is because the media cartel has no love for Morneau and will be unlikely to run defense for him when he gets caught by his own words.
The money hit in the video is when Morneau claims the “numbers” that Polivere quotes are wrong, and Polivere responds with “those are your numbers”.
Morneau is the weak link in the carbon tax scam and if he has to keep responding to questions about the cost the whole narrative could fall apart and do real damage to the liberal election strategy.
Hey Moroneau, the answer is real simple. For Ontario, if the average cost to a family is $600 then the GST would be 5%. So the tax on the tax is $30.
But wait there’s more! The provincial part of the HST is 10%, so the provincial tax on the tax is $60. I wonder if Moroneau includes the $60 as part of the federal re-imbursement to the provinces.
The media misses the main point: Turdeau and Moroneau say they are taxing “pollution” so people will “pollute” less. But the Liberals say don’t worry we’ll rebate ALL the money (plus a little bit more) so people actually don’t have to change their behaviour at all.
Moroneau knows that the rebate will be a part of the next election campaign, but will be rescinded if Turdeau is re-elected.
Meanwhile in the great green eco state of Washington, voters turned down a $15 a ton carbon tax. They know its a job killer. Turdeau’s Liberals and the NDP want Canada to kill its jobs, which will then go to the USA, or to China where the electricity will come from coal, thus increasing global emissions.
What blows me away is Justin’s gang keeps doing this and they don’t go down in the polls!!!! As Kevin says we are getting the government we deserve!!!! At 350 thousand new Liberals a year we can expect a lot more of this bullshit!
They don’t go down in the polls because this isn’t a $16 glass of orange juice.
Man oh man! Wait till Andy 2 percent Scheer hears about this!
Don’t you have buses in Canada?
It was too warm to use dogsleds.
I’m fairly sure that the vehicles already sold were sold to insiders, which is why the remaining ones are stagnating. There’s no demand for them. It’s insane that they thought they needed to buy 600+ cars for this. Utterly insane.
Doesn’t anyone get it TRUDEAU DOESN’T CARE ABOUT THE CANADIAN PEOPLE!! We are all wimps no guts to fight the LIE-BRAL gov’t! He doesn’t care about our Canadian Values!!! He is laughing all the way to his bank and his Foundation!!
631 vehicles. Call Uber. Mind you security clearance for 631 Uber divers would cost $23 million.
The Liberal Cabinet has ballooned up to 35 members, all of whom enjoy a limo; in addition the government has many more vehicles in its fleet, Why exactly could these not be utilized for a couple of days? Six heads of state, as Americans supply their own cars leaves about 105 cars per country. What were they all for? A deal with GM Canada, or Hertz, Avis couldn’t manage to supply some vehicles? This government has no business acumen whatever, most of the Cabinet probably never heard of Hertz.
A few years back, CC Barbie;s minions decided to test some E vehicles; unlike Road & Track simply requesting a vehicle for the day, they purchased a + $200,000 Porsche Hybrid, afterwards selling it for peanuts to a connected Liberal?
Speaking of CC Barbie, why didn’t she put her money where her ample mouth is and rent a fleet of E Prius, Bolts, Leaf, whatever. Maybe they were concerned they might break down. Liberal made a hay day about Minister Clement wasting money on a gazebo, but he was a complete piker compared to Jr and friends.

he got the idea from hero-of-the-right one mikey harris who boasted about a blanced budget by among other questionable actions, SELLING (ie for a fee-fie-fo-fum fee) PERSONAL info based on, wait for it . . . .
a licence plate.
it was back in the harris regime, cant find a link but I distinctly recollect the tranna star article with a censored image of minister runciman’s personal info ie home address blacked out. the privacy act prevents this nowadays. except of course when the TURDoo orders the exception covering MILLIONS of Canoodles and billions of banking transactions.
