Mark Carney's Sky-High Meal Bills | Edmonton News

Description

Mark Carney’s latest trip racked up nearly $160,000 in in-flight meals—featuring beef tenderloin and chicken chasseur—sparking outrage as taxpayers question how such lavish spending aligns with promises to curb government costs. Over his first year in office, the Department of National Defence spent over $1 million on catering for his travels, with his Beijing-Qatar-Switzerland leg topping out at $175,000 for 73 passengers. Critics demand accountability, especially as these figures are still provisional, but the public is left wondering if such extravagance will change—or if it’s just the new normal for top officials.
