So the fat fuck gets caught, tried lying to justify it (see article) after a round of what about (paid less than Québec per unit - for a luxury plane vs air ambulances). Unworthy of reelection. Can we do anything to chastise him?

    They can’t land a jet on those runways, so obviously they weren’t going to do this.

    It would take 1000 flights on first class to make up the price of this jet. Realistically this is a stupid purchase unless the government of Ontario becomes a travel service.

      That’s where you’re wrong, because every flight ON the jet costs the same in fuel and aircrew as 50 first class tickets! So you literally can NEVER repay the costs it INCREASES with every flight!

      it wouldn’t surprise me now if he suddenly goes hush hush on billy bishop having jets now that he has to sell his private jet. Honestly it wouldn’t surprise me if the whole reason he wanted jets at billy bishop and the expanding of its run way was so he could have his jet there. easier drive from the harbourfront to queens park than pearson.

        That’s what I’m thinking.

        I knew something was up when he started calling the people who have lived on the island freeloaders.

      I think you missed a zero unless first class flights cost a lot more than I assumed.

        I don’t know, it’s not cheap.

        I’ve been looking at the government of Canada travel expense data and it makes me want to punch someone in the nose.

        We’ve got directors spending $1200/night on hotels and $300/day on meals. Some of their airfare is $20k.
