This post and article just looks like rage / click bait. Can we stop spreading crap like this?

If I do the math of what a six day international trip to multiple locations on the other side of the planet would cost me, then account for the fact that there were 53 people on the plane (many who staff to be paid), RCMP security was required, yes the Prime Minister and officials probably stay in better accommodations and eat better food than I do, and this trip was completed for an official purpose, then this doesn't really look like an outrageous expense at all.

The article is ridiculous. It complains about $2,500 in official gifts, and quotes someone from a "Canadian taxpayers federation" about how inflation in Canada is so high the PM flies to Singapore for food. Boom, got'em. Sick burn. So is the article about official trip expenses or about inflation?

It pisses me off because this type of rhetoric does nothing to address real problems. It dishonestly manufactures rage and distrust without proposing real solutions or progress.

Big thumbs down.
