  1. Dps this happen recently, Biden was out going over a year ago. At this point in time all he would deserve with be a Timmie gift card good for a double-double and a donut.

  2. How did he have the time? I mean, he’s so busy going from one vacation to another as well as avoiding certain visitors from Belgium…..

  3. that’s it.
    Im signing on the LIEberals to get in on all these goodies while the gettings good.
    ie the next election.
    or mebbee the one after that.
    or after that one, or . . . .
    didnt this all happen before with TURDoo version 1.0?

  4. Les people– kind de Papineau Riding de Montreal Queeeeebec
    VOTEZ LE BUM OUT! Eh, er, A.S.A.P.
    He is doing da bad job.
    He is spennnnnning da moneeeeeeeeeey we don tink e shud!

  5. And that doesn’t include the cost of flying in “treats” for Biden from Trudeau’s cab driving friends in Rotterham

  6. Our presidents and our prime ministers are quite free in spending the working people’s hard-earned money on themselves, their families, and their pals.

  9. I don’t care what Justin does or where he goes as long as he remains the best damned Prime Minister we’ve had since Stephen Harper!
    Apparently there’s a Justin Trudeau calendar that has a different pic for every month,all of our beloved Justin.It’s sold like the proverbial hotcakes in the USA.
    I’m not fortunate enough to have one myself, but I DO hope his many fans here have one hanging on their wall.

  10. Where is the English article on this expenditure. Did the English media not cover the story? How about the CBC? Isn’t this the kind of thing that Rosie Barton should be paying attention to?

  12. Haa Linda. That’s a good one. Rosie…. Haaa. Exactly what benifit to Canada is schmoozing the OUTGOING Vice President? Wouldn’t it make sense to invite the INCOMING VP? I know I know. Trudeau’s idea of DIVERSITY is about as shallow as the man himself.

  13. *
    if you don’t spend money you don’t have…
    how will the budget balance itself?
    justin’s got this.

  14. I think we know why. English MSM just running cover for PM Shiny Pony.
    As Joe would say, “This is a effing big deal”.

  15. I sure hope this news doesn’t spoil the sock models vacay down in Florida. No money for veterans but lots of money for political comrades, and vacays. What about the “carbon footprint” of all this traveling? Oh yeah, thats just a bunch of cynical bullshit for the peasants to worry about, not the prissy little Queen of Socks. I’m glad the little pricktator is having yet another vacay… all those costume changes, dining with terrorists and dancing like a pure narcissistic asshole all across India must have been exhausting for the empty headed actor. I hope they kept the children away from creepy Joe, heck, I hope they kept the children away from the creepy sock model too.

  16. Check Biden’s business deals that have a Canadian angle and look at Trudeau’s friends doing business with Biden’s friends. There is absolutely no political reason to wine and dine an out going vice-president.

  19. Steve: Or one that has been retired for 18 years. Check out the meeting between K Wynne and Al Gore and tell me not a dollar of taxpayer money was involved in that. And the subject of both confabs, what else AGW/Climate Change (depending on the temp outside).
    Granted Gore’s visit sounds like a private undertaking, but these guys are just not inclined to pay for their own travel; all that jet fuel expended to get them around, someone has to pay for it.

  21. Well, there is that little issue of pay back for whatever assistance the Obama administration gave to the Spawn in his electoral success, like snubbing Harper when he went to the White House, for example. I do recall that within the Spawn’s fan-base, Obama could do no wrong.

  22. Hey, what’s the big deal? Knock off the orange juice and it was only a paltry $69,984. They can blow that tenfold on Aga Khan getaways!
    You’d think these ass-sucking media would soon have to come up for air, wouldn’t you?

  23. You make a great point, actually.
    I have a bit of French, and I’m pretty certain that “par jour” translates as “per day” (the rest of the article is too small for me to read).
    How many days was Biden in Canada, exactly?
    I’m surprised that Spector, being the self-proclaimed arbiter of all things French and English in this country, would not have caught this: I’m pretty certain that Maxime Bernier wouldn’t have missed it.

  24. David – you are correct, the translation is: $150,000 per day for one visit. Apparently the $69,174 was just for a dinner.

  26. There was quite a bit of coverage of this event back then. I don’t remember it myself, but just Google “joe biden canada visit” to see. No mention about the $150,000.
    Apperently he had a good time.
    Postcards from Joe

  30. Ah, David – l’original a did “$170,000 PAR JOUR. Combien de jours at-il visite a Ottawa? Excuise the English keyboard and the West Kootenay French.

  31. Je m’excuse: on a oublie l’aspostrophe sur le mot finale. Actuellement, le prix par jour étais 150 000 $: deux jours égale 300 000 $.
    Peut lire l’article, s’il vous plait: Biden a Ottawa depuis deux jours.
    Alternativement, Doug Ford (de bon hommes gentiles, actuellement, s’il passe), avec less Conservateurs, ont sur la route d’une majorité massif, a dit le Toronto Star — cinquante percent des votes.
    Si vous aimez l’Ontario, votez Doug Ford.
    Pardon my French, for which I apologize, but it’s starting to look pretty good, really — the old hag’s BS is not sticking to him — yet. Which I find surprising, to be honest, although she has not yet been to Walkerton, Ipperwash or Caledonia.

  32. Labatt’s 50? That stuff still exists?
    I remember a rude joke about it from my early grad school days, but I won’t repeat it here.

  33. According to the article it does and it’s junior’s preferred brew. I know what you mean. Back in the day one brave soul in my group of friends would always bring a case of 50 to a party because nobody else would drink it.
    The joke wouldn’t happen to involve a bet, a bear and an eskimo woman would it?

  34. Nah. The joke I remember involves a canoe and a certain human activity…..
    Labatt’s 50 is his favourite brew? That sure explains a few things.

  38. Many have said it before. A country can survive any leader, no matter how bad that leader may be. The one thing a country cannot survive, is having a population that would elect Bob Rae, Wynne, Notely, Trudeau.
    In the US case, it is having a population that would elect Obama, twice. I think the end of this movie has already been written. You can write off one time as a mistake; but the second time you just have to admit the truth; you have reached majority stupid. Majority stupid gives you leaders like Felonia von Pantsuit, Obama, Trudeau, May, Macron, Merkel, Chavez, Maduro. It gives you bridges in Florida. It gives you states that elect known associates of the reverend Jim Jones as their governor (you didn’t know Jerry Brown actually visited Jonestown?). It gives you Phoenix pay system. Majority stupid gives you leaders who have personal, lifetime, armed security details, while you do not even have police around (Gerald Stanley anyone?), and if they do show up, it is to arrest you.
    I wonder if David Suzuki will be our next PM. Or Omar maybe. Hell, Toronto would vote for Clifford Olson if he said he would build “renewable” power. If Karla Homolka signed the Paris accord, I bet she could sweep Ontario and Quebec; yes, that is the opinion I hold of everything and everyone east of Manitoba.
    Notely, Wynne, Meili, Horgan, Trudeau, they are all going to win their next elections, and the twenty five after that. Canada is that far gone, has been for decades.

  39. Justin was beaten up by actor Matthew Perry when they were school age kids. Justin was a brat and still hasn’t grown up yet. These things stay with you. He took up boxing after that. The interview that Matthew Perry gave was a few years ago and he said that he wasn’t proud of the fight but he did have a small grin on his face that he tried, unsuccessfully, to hide. Bet other kids didn’t like that Frenchie-bully either. Kids can be so painfully honest.
    To Justin:
    You are out of your league in this job we all know that outside forces got you there stuffing ballot boxes. Did you cheat at exams too as a kid. You can’t cheat everywhere you go. People know a phoney when they see one. You are one.

  40. In a related story … Google, Apple, Facebook, et.al. are all INCORPORATED business entities in the State of Delaware … hmmm? … one might want to ask Joe about that over dinner … aren’t these behemoth Corporations all headquartered in Jerry Brown’s California? hmmmm …

  41. Delaware has the most corporate friendly legal structure in the US. It is very common for corporations to incorporate there. It has a separate court of chancery that focuses solely on business law and has no jury trials. Also businesses incorporated in Delaware that don’t to business in the state pay no state tax. It also doesn’t tax royalty payments. Over half of all publicly traded US companies are incorporated in Delaware including almost 65% of the Fortune 500.

  42. Good focus Kevin. If Notley and Horgan are “east of Manitoba”, your world is small and you need to turn your head now and then.

  43. People know a phoney when they see one. You are one.
    What’s worse, a phony who’s in power or those willing to be governed by one?
    Remember, it takes two to tango.

  44. Indeed … which means that 50% of all publicly traded US corporations are NOT paying “their fair share” of taxes. Something to be proud of, eh Uncle Joe? Eh, PM Sockeye?

  45. You can draw a straight line from the Joe Biden party to struggles with NAFTA negotiations, etc. The only plausible reason to have feted Joe at in that manner was to thumb a nose at Trump. We’ll pay a price for that.
