A Little Look at the Numbers

As per a blogger's request, I will submit government figures available to the public.

I will admit, I have never watched the Junos, but let's compare the last Liberal Minster's spending at the ceremony, compared to the current Conservatives.

Wow, remind to visit Winnipeg instead of Halifax, apparently there is some kind of monopoly being run by Crystal Cabs, and their rates are very high. If I have to go to Halifax, I am taking the bus.

Of course we are still waiting for Minister Finely to show a note from her doctor that a person that suffers from Graves diesase the need to ride in Crown Victorias commissioned by a Limosine Company. Harpocrits, gotta love'em!
