Carney spent more money on airplane food in one year than an average family will spend on groceries in 30 years.

We just got our hands on new government records showing the prime minister and his entourage billed you more than $500,000 on airplane food.

I did that.

The gravy plane

Our closet Liberal premier Doug Ford purchased a $28.9 million private jet for his travels.

Global Affairs Canada spent $59,000 to decorate a consulate in Milan, Italy.

The department dropped $33,680 on seven pieces of "artwork" – an average of $4,800 each.

One is a pair of "upcycled" pink cowboy boots with some beads, "floral work" and "wire trail duster fringe." The artist said it's meant to symbolize his "personal relationship to queer history."

Four pieces of art are textiles by an Indigenous artist, made mainly from rabbit fur, beads and sherpa. One of those pieces is a mitten on a pole. Yes – a mitten on a pole.

 

The finance minister spent $12,000 paying a contractor to help write his budget speech. And in that very same budget, the minister claimed the government was cutting spending on consultants.

Carney released his main budget in November. He said he would spend $588 billion this year.

Carney just released his mid-year budget update and now he says he'll spend $594 billion.

Six months later and Carney is already on track to spend $6 billion over his own budget.

The fairest way to judge someone is by the standards they set for themselves. And Carney is failing his own standards on spending.

The most important number in the budget: $59 billion

Fifty-nine billion dollars.

That's how much federal debt interest charges will cost this year.

Let's put that into perspective:

Federal debt interest charges will cost you $1,400. That's the share of the cost for each Canadian.

The federal government is now spending more money paying interest on the debt than it sends to provinces in health transfers.

Or think about it this way the next time you're waiting in the check-out line:

Every dollar you pay in federal sales tax goes to pay interest on the debt.

Carney borrowing more than Trudeau

Carney will borrow $65 billion this year. He has no plan to balance the budget and stop borrowing money.

Let's compare Carney's budget update with former prime minister Justin Trudeau's last budget update.

From 2025 through 2029, Trudeau planned to borrow $112 billion. Carney plans to borrow twice as much – $242 billion – over those same years.

If taxpayers did a blind taste test, Carney's budget would taste worse than Trudeau's.

I am going to bankrupt Canada.
