I get what you're saying but.... timing. Timing. Timing.

Leadership comes with responsibility. Sometimes that responsibility means cancelling plans to deal with things.

Leadership is also squaring up the situation you're in and taking responsibility.

None of which he is doing.

 

[Remius]

And that was my point...

Maybe this is his long walk in the sand...

He’s had his long walk. He’s hoping people forget.

When was that ? On his surfing trip during the first truth and reconciliation day ?

Last time his caucus said he had to go. Mind you it was 36 hours or so but he’s had his reflection time.

 

[Brad Sallows]

Last time his caucus said he had to go. Mind you it was 36 hours or so but he’s had his reflection time.

The problem is that his "reflection time" consists of standing before a mirror and thinking about how awesome he is.

 

[Jarnhamar]

but this nickle and diming of the PM and GG is silly

We need to start questioning how we do business, especially after the billions of dollars missing under the Liberals.

Should the GG be entitled to a $1500 steak meal on a flight? Absolutely not.

Vacations for the PM? How about one and the rest come out of his pocket.

How about no more vacations until atleast one dollar of the $60M ArriveScam is returned?

We still haven't seen a dollar of the $60M ArriveScam returned.

The PM has to travel via either 412 or 437 Sqns to places, in case they have to return fast for whatever reason. They can’t just fly Air Canada.

I mean, if I can figure out how to charter a Challenger (and I had the money), I’d do it for kicks.

Should there be a limit for personal travel? Or can he just go any weekend and ski or surf wherever he wants?

Actually, it was well less than 24 hours.
As stated previously, he fired Freeland via Zoom Call from BC. He bloody well knew he was going to do it, no moral courage to do it face to face.

The problem is that his "reflection time" consists of standing before a mirror and thinking about how awesome he is.

He had stainless steel mirrors installed.

 

[Rifleman62]

P.S. The PMO has refused to inform the Parliament Committee on Ethics who paid for and how many tickets for the Swift Concert he attended, let alone the expences.

I'm hearing JT has fled, err, I mean gone on vacation in Hawaii...

I heard he was checking out the dacha subdivision that Vlad put Assad in.

 

[Good2Golf]

I'm hearing JT has fled, err, I mean gone on vacation in Hawaii...

I’m surprised he didn’t return to Bell Island in the Bahamas.

I think the guy is a dickhead, and should quit the PM role, but this nickle and diming of the PM and GG is silly and petty. The fact that no one wants to spend money on the official residence so it's now a condemned hole is pretty embarrassing.

With a job like that, they should get regular vacations, and it will cost the taxpayer for security etc, but that's just part of the gig. I personally don't want the leader of our country to burn out, and this is pretty weird crab barreling. I can't stand PP, but would have no issue with him doing the same as PM and taking vacations somewhere warm in the winter, because lets face it the cold can suck.

Hopefully he comes back refreshed and pulls the plug on his lame duck leadership, but why begrudge anyone a vacation?

He is the leader of a G7 nation and there is something called "TIMING"

This is a shit time to zip out on vacation. Do you seriously not see this?
