According to records obtained by Blackrock’s
Reporter, members of Prime Minster Justin Trudeau’s cabinet spent $275,469
at a three-day retreat to discuss inflation. Cabinet
members spent $46, 266 on food alone at the ritzy Vancouver Hyatt hotel, much
of it at a café while enjoying a “millionaire’s cut” steak and lobster plate
for $88. (The Vancouver Hyatt is known for its high-price restaurant menu,
where a basic burger costs $29.) Moreover, room charges amounted to
$129,469, and private security guards cost an additional $11,533-- despite the
fact that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) were onsite. Ironically,
the retreat came hard on the heels of Trudeau telling Canadian families that
the impact of global inflation was hitting Canadians “particularly through
rising food and gasoline costs.” Tragicomically, Trudeau simultaneously
claimed he was working hard to “further strengthen the economy to meet the
needs of Canadians, making life more affordable for families.”
Trudeau’s office said the cabinet retreat was convened
to focus on “continued efforts to make life more affordable for Canadians and
keep delivering economic growth that benefits anyone.” Or at least those
who work for the Vancouver Hyatt.
Tone deaf? Ask California Gov. Gavin (“French Laundry”) Newsome. Pass the caviar.
