If ego and millionaires are the barometer of what is wrong with western democracies we have a long history of those…

PPs net worth places him as a multimillionaire as well.

Since I occasionally go for a good conspiracy theory, I’ll throw it out there that it’s billionaires, not mere millionaires, who are a significant driving/guiding factor.
Again, N47.975587 W70.131304 comes into play…

Home prices being what they are, "multimillionaire" isn't a hard lift for anyone who has been sitting in the top two or three income deciles for a while.

And definitely not the same as when the term first became widely used.

What happened to the Government’s recent self-adulation about the success of establishing the NATO Climate Change and Security Centre of Excellence in Montreal since Montreal is a noted International organizational hub of HQs (like ICAO, etc.). Why would anyone expect that all those Europeans would want to fly twice as far as Montreal to get to the Pacific?Hotel operators in Vancouver must like him alot
Parliament spent nearly $600,000 on luxury hotel rooms it never used
Conservative whip calls it a 'disastrous waste of money'

Only the Canadian government would be so dumb as to plan a Euro-centric meeting as far from Europe as they possibly can. I guess all those Atlantic votes weren't enough to get it hosted in Halifax or St John's.

Maybe they could have conducted this meeting - gab fest of hot air- via Zoom or whatever.

Speaking of expensive Liberal gatherings.

Seems about right.
Cost of Liberals' 'affordability' cabinet retreat rises to nearly $500K, updated figures show
Costs have risen to nearly $500K for the P.E.I. retreat, which ended with no new plans or announcements to address housing or affordability.

Honestly when a party is slumping this hard, I expect any expense is going to be met with howls.
At this point the honorable thing to do is to dissolve parliament and call and election, unfortunately honor is something that is lacking in the HoC.

Europeans knew that any conference hosted by Canada would be as irrelevant as Canada. Add not wanting to be bombarded/patronized re saving the planet.
and they don't have to explain to their constituents why they are travelling to Canada on their dime.
Hey now, we have the Ottawa Treaty wr can boast about. That probably took some good convening to organize/accomplish...
Well when some MP's in the EU Parliament dislike you so much as to publicly ask you to "spare them your presence..." ... it causes one to suggest Euro-centric conferences to be held places that aren't in Europe...
To be a fly on the wall during one of those conversations...
I think even the fly would have to leave the room I search of better ppl to eavesdrop on

Which included the $50,000 banquet they threw themselves.
The irony of it all
You'd think these were articles from publications like The Beaver, or Onion News
