Cabinet billed more than a quarter million for a three-day cabinet retreat on inflation, records show. Expenses for the meeting at a Vancouver Hyatt a year ago included tens of thousands of dollars for food with catering from one café that sells an $88 “millionaire’s cut” steak and lobster plate: “The cost of living, that is our focus.”
They’re entitled to their entitlements.
The froggies came up with a cure for this:

If it’s Librano$, it’s kosher. Karaoke & champagne while at Queen’s funeral? again, no pb.
But $17 orange juice while Conservative? that’s a big no-no.
The governor general puts the $18 orange juice to shame, when she had her plane stocked with a litre of Orange Juice for several hundred dollars.
The end result: immigrant women cleaning up costly alcohol vomit, buggery filth & dried spunk.
Even the flies on the wall left in disgust.
Nobody leaves a more expensive mess than neo-Marxists at the trough.
Was at the grocery store yesterday, that $88 steak seems almost reasonable, especially if it comes with lobster, too. I’d like to see it, please!
I thought $88 for steak and lobster was pretty reasonable too, Zon.
I suspect it was the $146 side salads and the $75 cocktails that were responsible for running up the bill ;o)
P.S. For our daily clinical depression booster, we should probably find out the price of dessert.
I suppose the conclusion of that august body of cabinet members, after a rigorous analysis of the effects of inflation on food prices and the hardships it is causing for the working poor was…
“So we’re all agreed. Let them eat cake.”
After all that hard work, they deserve to retire to the lounge for some 100-year-old brandy and $30 cigars. It sucks being a plebe. We just don’t appreciate the grueling labors of our betters.
I actually work hard, might have to splurge on that steak and lobster, some brandy would be nice and a $30 cigar, not unreasonable for a decent Cuban.. A treat is only a treat if it’s not all the time..
The rest of the time, $100 in groceries should last the week, if carefully shopped, decent local beer or homebrew and some homegrown or local artisanal smoke, will do fine, thank you, as I work, not talk, for a living!
It’s all for “ahem” the people.
Poilievre can’t do sh!t about what his LibCons buddy Blackface did.
F#ck Canada
Related, as they need them for cover, and pay them quite handsomely for it.

Some people gonna be like: “Wait, I never knew Tether and Bitfiinex were Canadian, operated from a Toronto law firm, and the AML was done from the old King Eddy Hotel room.”

In their defence, it’s not easy to brainstorm like a liberal when your brain is fueled by a peanut butter sandwich instead of champagne and caviar that is funded by increasing the deficit.
Oh how they want to rule us like they’re some kind of liberal royalty, liberal’s brain storming- now that makes me belly laugh.
And we’re going to elect a slightly-less-worse gov’t that calls itself “Conservative”, and we’ll pat ourselves on the back and think we’ve accomplished something.
The country will continue to fall, only at a somewhat slower rate.
“And we’re going to elect a slightly-less-worse gov’t that calls itself “Conservative”, and we’ll pat ourselves on the back and think we’ve accomplished something.”
Sums it up nicely.
Yup. A dead skunk would be preferable to turdo. So HM Loyal Opposition just has to slither over a very low bar.
That is my best case scenario. A slightly slower decline.
But let’s not blame the politicians.
A reversal or greatly slowed decline would require action not amenable to the vast majority of Canadians of all parties and esp. those of the intellectual sect.
If government was serious, they could as step one, cancel every expense account of the government, but some ottawa restaurants might go out of business
I wonder how a we would be able to get a total on the food and beverage costs on the plethora of flights . I seem to recall bills being in the hundred thousands range for food and beverages for one flight. Got keep those adoring groupies happy,especially those in the press. We have the equivalent of a sex addict in a brothel,and he has our credit card.
I’m just curious what their costly meeting accomplished? Did they come up with a plan to stem inflation? Or just a new barrage of talking points intended to deceive the public?
Some in the media have already gotten their marching orders to start writing thought pieces “You had inflation now, deflation will be worse”
I am not sure what to make of that yet
These people have no idea what real life is like. I’ve had the occasional glimpse of the fully catered business meetings or wine and canape functions… coming from spending my life sitting on a cooler eating sandwiches on building sites. These people’s feet never touch the ground, they live inside a make believe world where everything is carpeted and people are working constantly behind the scenes to maintain the bubble they exist in. Their whole existence is inside a luxury brand truman show. Seeing it gives you real insight into why they’re so perplexingly out of touch with reality the rest of us inhabit.
