Poilievre grills Carney over spending $195,400 on airplane food during three international trips.

Carney talks about what he hears from "international investors."

Pro tip for Carney: You can travel abroad without billing taxpayers six figures for airplane food.

[Franco Terrazzano @franco_nomics]

I guess one way to beat the high cost of groceries in Canada is to take government work trips and bill taxpayers for expensive airplane food...

Carney drops $195,000 on airplane food during three international trips.

Canadians struggle. Politicians and bureaucrats feast.

[Ryan Gerritsen🇨🇦🇳🇱 @ryangerritsen]

Just two days after being sworn in, this was Carney's in flight food bill for his trip to the UK.
$52,610 dollars.
Same guy had to audacity to tell Canadians that they will have to make sacrifices.

[Franco Terrazzano @franco_nomics]

Carney grilled in Parliament over spending $195,400 on airplane food during three international trips.

Ministers responded with world salads.

Because there is no good defence of a prime minister sticking struggling Canadians with a six-figure airplane food bill.

[Franco Terrazzano @franco_nomics]

Carney spent $93,000 on airplane food during his 2025 Italy trip.

Trudeau spent $43,000 on airplane food during his 2024 Italy trip.

The guy who promises to spend less outspent the guy who is famous for spending too much.

Carney and entourage chew through $195,000 worth of airplane food during three international trips.

Carney spent more money on airplane food during three trips than the average family will spend on groceries in a decade.

They’re living the high life and sending you the bill.

🇪🇺 Who else is gonna pay for *Scottish salmon while the Prime Minister of *Canada visits London, Brussels & Rome?

💰Nearly $200K in “airplane food”

Hand over your wallets, peasants!

Italian, Spanish & European charcuteries & luxury Normandy butter cups don’t pay for themselves

[Franco Terrazzano @franco_nomics]

How does Carney and entourage rack up a $195,400 airplane food bill on three international trips?

Here's some of the airplane food they enjoyed on your dime (from government ATIPs):

Beef tenderloin with bordelaise sauce.

Scottish salmon fillet.

Sautéed beef with "world famous creamy sauce."

Chicken with white wine gravy.

Lamb rump, veal escalope...

For dessert? "Luxury Normandy butter cups," blueberry cheesecake, crème brûlée, chocolate mousse ...

Records also show multiple wines served on board.

STEAKS, LOBSTER, WINE, CAVIAR for Mark Carney

$195K on FOOD, Deserts and Drinks for 3 flights

Canadians Can't afford to EAT this is INSULTING and Out of Control.

Liberals: Mark Carney is flying around the WORLD non-stop getting 100s of thousands of JOBS and making Canada RICH

[Franco Terrazzano @franco_nomics]

Global Affairs spent $33,000 on seven pieces of "artwork" for its consulate in Milan, Italy.

Then they dropped $6,400 on a photographer.

Here are four of the seven pieces you paid for, including "Upcycled" pink cowboy boots and a mitten on a stick.

[Franco Terrazzano @franco_nomics]

You pay too much tax because they waste too much money.

The government budgeted $1.2 million to give cameras to homeless people to snap photos.

$1.2 million could buy a lot of sandwiches for hungry Canadians. Instead, the government dreams up a new way to waste your money.

[Franco Terrazzano @franco_nomics]

Canadian Taxpayers Federation hammers Carney's industrial carbon tax at Parliamentary committee.

Carney's hidden carbon tax means higher prices for you and fewer jobs for Canadians.

Scrap ALL carbon taxes.

"Prime Minister Mark Carney’s two-day cabinet meeting in Toronto cost taxpayers more than $532,000, records reviewed by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation show. Carney’s cabinet meetings cost thousands of dollars more than recent cabinet retreats hosted by former prime minister Justin Trudeau.

“If you’re spending thousands of dollars more than Trudeau on meetings, you’re spending too much money,” said Franco Terrazzano, CTF Federal Director. “It’s going to be hard for politicians to explain to taxpayers why all of the meeting rooms in Ottawa weren’t good enough.”" @Jen_HodgsonCTF @franco_nomics https://t.co/XFrmtzPZfl

[Franco Terrazzano @franco_nomics]

Carney’s next press conference.

[Franco Terrazzano @franco_nomics]

Ottawa should stop using misleading debt measure to justify deficits.

Using net debt-to-GDP "assumes Canada can use all of its financial assets to offset debt—which is not the case...

Simply put, by falsely assuming CPP and QPP assets could pay off debt, Canada appears to have a stronger fiscal position than is actually the case."

The government “invests” $24,500 studying gender equity and bicycles.

[Kris Sims @kris_sims]

🆘Canadian taxpayers are DROWNING in DEBT

🏛️Thanks to federal government & its financial dumpster fire they call a "budget"

Meanwhile:

Feds are spending $402 million MORE on "art" & "journalism"

It is bad theatre

AND $150 million MORE for CBC

🛑STOP GOVERNMENT FUNDED MEDIA

[Franco Terrazzano @franco_nomics]

Carney’s Budget: Debt spirals out of control because spending spirals out of control.

Massive $78 billion deficit. HUGE spending increase.

Every dollar you pay in GST will go to pay interest on the debt.

Carney also hammering Canadian business with industrial carbon tax.

[Franco Terrazzano @franco_nomics]

The government can’t keep borrowing more money forever and taxpayers can’t afford to pay $1 billion a week to cover debt interest charges.

After a decade-long debt-fuelled spending spree, taxpayers can’t afford another Trudeau-style budget.
