Don't Miss This -- Especially if You Live in Ontario; Then Note Adrienne's Junket
The Star Gives Tories Needed Boost! The Canuckistanian posted a lengthy and informative post here today. Then, don't miss these.
Arafat Is Going!
Adrienne's junket
Beginning Sept. 23, Ms. Clarkson, her husband John Ralston Saul and 59 other "prominent Canadians" will spend more than three weeks sloshing around Russia, Finland and Iceland. Among Ms. Clarkson's selected guests are well-known figures from the left-leaning, Trudeau-era media clique she knows so well, such as long-time CBC apparatchik Mark Starowicz and Bob Rae, the socialist ex-premier of Ontario. The Governor-General says the purpose of the junket is to help Canadians affirm a "shared northern identity" with their hosts. Total cost to taxpayers: more than $1-million.
My Commentary:
That is MORE THAN ONE MILLION CANADIAN TAXPAYER DOLLARS! Does the Auditor General look at her expense accounting? I would strongly suggest it. How does our GG and mini-GG justify this use of taxpayer dollars?
Canada's own royalty, a woman, imported, risen through the ranks at the CBC and the Liberal party, but especially, a friend of the PM. How Canadian! Now, travelling the world with what I read today is her coterie of media elites--compliments of the taxpayers' of Canada. And, noblesse oblige, planning another sortie next year. How hard-working of her and--is it Mr. Clarkson? Was he appointed GG too? He deigns to speak for us by times, as well--on Canadian wines, seemingly his particular expertise. Also, how Canadian! How Liberal!
Canadian royalty courts the polar bears--not the Americans with whom Canadians overwhelmingly trade. We are not American! Adrienne shows them where they fit! How Liberal! How Liberal Canadian!
