I’ll see your $16 orange juice and raise you $548 for coffee

May 19, 2018 Brian Lilley Canadian Politics 15

That is some coffee service!

According to a proactive disclosure, staffers in Justin Trudeau’s PMO spent $548.39 for coffee in a single day this year. And there were only six of them!

Forget Bev Oda’s $16 for orange juice in London, England. This was $548.39 for coffee in London, Ontario.

That works out to $91.40 per person.

What kind of coffee were they drinking? Were the pastries cut up and spoon fed to them by an army of angels?

Did they order the infamous coffee that is digested and then defecated by Indonesian cats?

When the expense was incurred, Trudeau was in London for a cabinet retreat.

While I understand the need for staff to be there, and to be fed and watered, I don’t understand the outrageous cost for just six employees.

Of course outrageous expenses and Trudeau are terms that go together.

In the fall of 2016 it was reported that the cost to feed and water people on the PM’s first two international trips amounted to $1,300 per person. Then there were the reports of free flowing booze on the PM’s international trips.

During Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s week-long official trip to China last December, more than $2,200 worth of alcohol — 121 bottles of wine and 241 cans of beer — was consumed on flights. That amount translates to about two bottles of wine and four cans of beer for each of the roughly 56 passengers for the flights to and from China.

Nice drinks if you can get them!

In 2011, Conservative cabinet minister Bev Oda billed taxpayers for an orange juice that cost $16 at the London, England hotel she was staying at. It haunted her for the rest of her time in politics and is still raised by Liberals as example of being out of touch.

I’ve ordered coffee that cost me almost as much while meeting people over breakfast in Ottawa hotels. It may have been a mistake for Oda but it is minor compared to this crew.

Trudeau’s Liberals will bill you $548.39 for coffee for six when a trip to Timmy’s would cost you about $11 and a more expensive coffee shop, say Starbucks would cost you $15. Add in some pastries and we might hit $30.

But that wouldn’t do for Justin’s crew.

Just like only having one bottle of wine and two cans of beer on the government dime during a trip to China would be plenty for most. But Justin’s crew doubles that.

This isn’t a Liberal thing or a Conservative thing. This is an entitled thing and Trudeau’s crew feel entitled to their entitlements.

  • All you can say it is amazing of what they and many others do when they are not accountable for the dollars they throw around.

  • That’s all$$? Since the staff got the message/impression that their boss, jihadi justin trudeau is abusing canadian public for his own pleasure and for his friends and not be held to account nor be criticized by the media, I can see why his staffers are doing the same thing. Basically putting it, they are following the pipe piper.

  • Brian Lilley, I despise JT but you can’t use this unless you have all the facts. London convention…seems like maybe it was coffee expenses for an event they were hosting??

    • I will repeat myself over and over again here. Yes, this was a coffee expense for a convention the Liberals were hosting in London, Ontario. Yest, the London convention centre can be pricey but not that pricey.
      No, this was not coffee for the whole meeting.
      Trudeau was there for a cabinet retreat. There are other expenses for this retreat.
      Proactive disclosure requires you to say how many people were receiving hospitality. This clearly says 6 government employees, 0 guests. If they screwed up their own reporting that is on them. There is a process to file these, several people would have signed off so I doubt that happened.
      This was a group of PMO staffers wasting your tax dollars.

  • Ummmm, you know that would have been coffee for all of Cabinet (they were holding a cabinet meeting that day in London – http://bit.ly/2kcEKrx ), right? So that’s coffee for 30+ people (including hangers-on). Check out the London Convention Ctr price list (http://bit.ly/2wUwFk8), and coffee, pastries, fruit salad and banana bread run about $14/head. Could the meeting have been held @ a less glitzy venue? For sure. Price for venue chosen? Not crazy for, say, 40.

  • Has anyone put the question to the PMO? Would seem to be a more constructive use of time than speculation here. Either they answer it, or they refuse (as they’ve refused to answer so many other questions).
