The governor general just took another pay raise. And you paid for it!

The governor general’s salary is now just shy of $400,000.

Plus, you’re paying for a bunch of other extravagant perks for the governor general.

A governor general can bill you for up to $130,000 for their clothes.

A former governor general can also bill taxpayers like you up to $200,000 every year for the rest of their lives and up to six months after their death.

A former governor general gets a $150,000 annual taxpayer-funded pension.

The federal government finally launched its confiscation program with a six-week pilot project in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

The government aimed to confiscate 200 firearms during the project. It spent more than $150,00 and only collected 25 from 16 different people.

That’s a clear failure.

Ottawa needs to scrap this scheme.

“Taxpayers are getting SOAKED.” A new report shows the massive cost of Ottawa’s bloated bureaucracy. The cost of the federal bureaucracy increased 80% in 10 years. The government added 99,000 bureaucrats in 10 years. The government rubberstamped $1.5 billion in bonuses since 2015. Average compensation per full-time federal bureaucrat is $148,000. There are 146,786 federal employees with a six-figure salary (nearly 40 per cent of the bureaucracy).
