Failed UN security seat campaign cost over $8.6 million;
Canada had finished third in balloting on June 17, 2020, with 108 votes, behind first-place Norway (130 votes) and second-place Ireland (128 votes). So far, the campaign has cost taxpayers over $80,227 per vote.
A full accounting of operational expenses and travel costs has not been released by the federal government to date.
Previous disclosures linked to the campaign have included over $24,000 for Canada-themed treats and close to $140,000 for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau not to go to Barbados.
Other costs included $31,000 to fly diplomats to UN headquarters in New York and $20,000 for consultants and contractors.
The CTF has submitted multiple access to information requests to track down the fine details on what was bought with the campaign money.
“We already know the government spent more than $1,000 on cookies and key chains during the failed campaign,” said Terrazzano. “Taxpayers are eagerly waiting to see what else the government thought would be a good idea to spend our money on in its efforts to impress UN bureaucrats.”
But Kate, he gives the soccer Mom’s a tingle down their leg. And his socks did you see his new socks?
That Entertainment Tonight interview mentioned in today’s tips thread is a good example of what the coming election is going to be about. It’ll be a battle of the codpieces.
Will Canada have enough sense to get rid of their version of Hillary? Feminism is so disappointing.
Bribe politicians with Cookies?
Strip clubs, casinos, hookers and blow would have gotten Canada the seat
Worked with khaddafi
Wait.. Cookie might have been the name of the chick with the maple leaf pasties I saw in Windsor back when I was 19…
And in return the UN is trashing Canada for genocide.
And he, in turn, is trashing us for allegedly having committed it.
Morning Kate..
$20,000 for consultants and contractors;
Mistress, Wives, 12 thousand dollar credit card shopping limits.
Meanwhile back on the farmland we milked the goat’s.
and the CUCKs will still blow the next election
How much more was spent in the form of “foreign aid”?
Kissing the behind of others never gains one respect. It just gains one the title of “toady”.
We actually got of lightly. Imagine how much it could have cost us if he’d got the seat!!
8.6 million my A$$! Le Dauphin ran around the world doling out millions upon millions of dollars to any little tinpot, third world dictator (the little less than admirable kind) to get his cherished seat at the security council.
Exactly. The cost was probably a 1/4 billion.
The UN is the holy grail for grifters like Trudeau, a veritable blackhole of cash, corruption and best of all…unaccountability. Think of the movie “Casino” where the mob is given access to the money counting room and you’ll get a sense of how badly they wanted it.
Not to mention a great place for useless jobs you can reward your feckless wedding party friends with when you’ve run out of positions to fill in this country.
Hope I live long enough to see a wrecking ball smash that monolith into Turtle Bay but I ain’t holding my breath.
Cookies and keychains?
Call me skeptical.
Posted above that this looks like a code for something else.
More like a call girl agency and illegal drug supply.
Think of it as a twofer.
He put this out as something he would achieve where Harper failed.
Then he did all the things that Harper would never do and still failed.
Every time this gets mentioned it must totally burn him.
Sure keychains.
Keychains with keys on them.
Keys to new cars, keys to apartments, keys to safety deposit boxes, keys to Cookie’s strip club back rooms.
Given the care with witch the Spawn spends money that must be created and or borrowed, this is on par with all the other evil schemes, green theocracy, useless boondoggles, vote buying, and crony gifting that he and too many Canadians believe are legitimate roles of the state.
The most productive use for the UN would be to demolish the headquarters and use the concrete to stabilize the banks of the Hudson. For those that want to continue playing in the Chinese, Russian, ME, African sand box, move the HQ to Darfur.
JC, I would predict, based on the original reasons the UN was built in New York, that the new UN headquarters will be built in Beijing, or perhaps Davos, I just can’t make a final prediction because the two are sooooo close to each other as viable options.
Based on long term historical bribing abilities, I’m thinking Beijing!
And who are the people actually ACCEPTING these bribes as though it is routine business … and the “moral” thing to do? Ohhhhh yeahhhh … it’s the UN. Selling FAKE “power” to petty dictators for generations.
Canadians need reparations. Confiscate the Trudeau Foundation.
Blackie should have grown a beard 3 years earlier. I mean a REAL he man, ME full and dark.
It would have shown his commitment to the cause.
Cookies and key chains?
All he had to do was promise the UN all the assault weapons he will be confiscating from Canadian duck hunters.
Yep. A solid Muslim beard would have done the trick.
He’s corrupt and certainly our security establishment and lever pullers in the background are all alright with it so fuck it.
8.6 mill . same price as the new mansion to house sophie and his spawn away from him .
I wonder if it might have gone differently if we had an adequately equipped military.
Not a collection of soon-to-be social workers.
You must have meant to say gay and transvestite social works.
