  2. “Who among us doesn’t have a $14000 TV ?”
    I think I just found out I own a very, very small fractional share in one, but I’m not allowed to watch it.

  3. End of fiscal year. All budget must be spent or will be lost. When you see a government department getting a truckload of TVs or printers delivered this time of year, you know they have run out of spending ideas.

  4. Larry Klayman:
    “Key to this investigation is a whistleblower by name of Dennis Montgomery, who as a former National Security Agency (NSA) and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) contractor left the spy agencies with 47 hard drives and over 600 million pages of information, much of which was classified, and came forward, under grant of immunity, to FBI Director James Comey. This information, according to Montgomery, shows that the intelligence agencies, particularly under former Obama Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former Obama CIA Director John Brennan and their minions, spied illegally and unconstitutionally on prominent Americans, including the chief justice of the Supreme Court, other SCOTUS justices, 156 judges, prominent businessmen like Donald Trump and even yours truly. Indeed, in addition to the mass surveillance revealed by Edward Snowden, these spy agencies, during the Obama administration, spied on ‘anyone who was anyone’ in terms of their perceived status in society. The presumed and logical likely purpose of this spying? The potential for extortion and blackmail by the Obama administration.
    However, despite Montgomery coming forward about two years ago, Director Comey, his general counsel and Special Agents James Baker, Walter Giardina and William Barnett, have sat on this scandalous information for this time period. As a result, I felt a duty to the American people to contact Chairman Nunes and the other members of the House Intelligence Committee about this apparent cover-up and bring Montgomery to Congress to testify and produce proof of this ‘Orwellian Big Brother’ violation of the constitutional rights of not just President Trump, but of all of us. The letter, which I penned and had delivered, is here on the Freedom Watch website.”

  6. In the past few years the federal government has been equipping lots of regional bases with teleconference rooms. The teleconference room where I work has two monitors, and two self pointing cameras that automatically focus on whoever is speaking, microphones in the table top, etc. The monitors are 65″, I think. I’ve been told you can teleconference with up to eight other locations. It is a very useful tool, I’ve participated in Moncton-Ottawa-Vancouver tele-conferences where we solved problems quickly, avoiding the almost endless game of voice message and email tag and without spending one dollar on travel costs. So yes the government departments are spending a lot of money on TVs now but saving the money elsewhere on travel budgets, etc for years to come.
    I’m not sure about $14,000 TV but the bigger the room the larger the screen you need so the person at the back can see. The $14,000 price tag could be for the entire system.

  7. I was just going to say, I’ll bet money this is a VC system. That or just display units; a TV makes a dandy digital display for just about any signal.
    If it is a VC unit, this guy’s going to look a little silly as the primary reason to invest in a VC unit is to cut down on travel costs.

  10. Why reward Canadian slavers? These people bought and sold whites, blacks and enemy Indians. Time to check their red privileges.

  11. They need a super HIGH resolution screen to view the YouTube tutorials on how to sew sealskin booties. You just can’t capture the fine beadwork on a conventional screen of 72″ or less.

  13. The waste that government expends, using convenient excuses of “high tech”‘, then using it in its most inefficient means possible. What Al describes above, I have seen, in my own work world of provisioning high bandwidth service to a fed gov facility three years ago. It’s massively inefficient and unnecessary. As an aside, my sig other makes travel arrangements for prov. gov. executives who all travel, frequently, for hour meetings, by air. The financial waste is sickening.
    All meetings can be held, with widely dispersed personnel, using their laptops, and either MS Live Meeting, or Cisco WebEx. Cameras built in, and headsets widely available as an option. Smart companies employ these tools, saving hundreds of thousands in travel expenses. Dumb governments waste even more on yesterday’s methods. Stupid is as stupid dies

  14. Everyone Please calm down-
    Two indigenous women will be able to sleep on that TV.
    They just need a couple of $2,000 dollar blankets.

  15. A conservative MP discovered that ?
    then the main stream media will either sweep this under the carpet or spin this into conservatives are racists and use the occasion to remind us in the past some orphans were mistreated by a few white people.
    As long as the main stream media is paid by the liberals to do pro-left / anti-right propaganda nothing will change.
    The media is so corrupt it is almost useless to have an opposition party.

  16. Live Meeting was discontinued over five years ago. And no, you can’t run a meeting as effectively with the crap cameras built into laptops.
    You can argue whether there’s a point to having quite so many meetings, but given that you’ve already decided to have them the benefits of a $15,000 VC system are significant.

  17. The cost of a whole audio/video “system” would be more than 14k.
    I’ve worked on such things and it takes at least a week of 8-10hrs with around 10 workers to prepare a room.
    You got demo, drywall/painting, HVAC, electrical, flooring, ceiling and furniture.
    Then on top of that you got foreman/safety, inspectors, engineer, government busy bodies(you know the ones who walk around without PPE on and like to bother workers)and lastly someone to show them how to use it.
    It isn’t a simple plug and play system.
    So yes the equipment alone may have costed that but to create a “quiet” room would reach +20k for a very cheap 4 person room and we know there is no such thing with any government.
    So if the A/V came in at 14k, I’d say they spent a minimum of 30k on the room so the whole cost would be around +45k, but the rationalist in me would say +60k minimum.
    We’ve done work like this for major companies and they get into the +100k range pretty easily.

  18. You might want to watch todays CTV QP
    Evan Solomon is asking the FM if he knows what the cost of a transit pass in Toronto is and he can’t answer the question.
    Folks I percieve a weak link.
    Billy boy doesn’t know what it costs to be middleclass and this could be extremely damaging to the liberal narrative of how caring they are.
    The point is that if a media talking head gets critical of Juthtin they get ignored or dumped on, the cabinet however is fair game and the media has no hesitation going for the jugular.

  19. Likely linked to the travel restrictions and requirement for videoconferencing. It could be TV, videoconferencing gear and installation in a boardroom

  20. It’s all about equalization and some just happen to be more equal than others. Those who work and pay taxes must share with those who do not. Being deprived of all the latest and best in technology could lead to irreparable damage to self esteem and lead to certain destruction of their way of life….living off the land has a new meaning.

  21. It isn’t a simple plug and play system.
    Yes, it is.
    I’ve installed no small number of videoconferencing systems myself. I have no idea what you’re talking about. Today’s videoconferencing systems are designed to be wall mounted in an existing meeting room, take up very little space, and plug into the existing power and network outlets.
    HVAC? Seriously? Four people in a room put out more heat than a videoconferencing unit.
