According to its latest annual report, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation(CTF) not only did the governor general's office spend $36 million in 2023-24, the position receives a $378,000 salary, a taxpayer-funded clothing allowance, a lifetime pension of about $150,000 annually and a $200,000 annual expense account after leaving office.

The Leger poll found that 49% want to reduce the Governor General's budget, 19% would keep it the same, 13% want to increase it and 19% are unsure.

Among those with an opinion, nearly 60% of Canadians favour a reduction.

North Bay, Ontario's maypor deserves honourable mention.

Mmhmm. No doubt the next trucker protest and its like figures in there as well.

Another Liberal success story. Successfully wasting our money.

Canada's insane drug policies plus catch and release of criminals are 2 of the 3 reasons Chinese-Canadians vote Tory.

I like this Coloured gal.
