It’s nice to see Member of Parliament Michelle Rempel-Garner doing some good work again. Her order paper question that forced the Trudeau government to reveal that its Club COVID hotel quarantine program cost the taxpayer over $450,000 per person is truly staggering. .You knew the government was never very adept at making a dollar, demonstrating fiscal management, or even displaying basic competence. However, this price tag should be inducing crowds to surround Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s gated enclave and demand some answers. .This is scandalous. .Rempel explained, “In fiscal year 2022, long after the rest of the world had ended quarantine hotel restrictions and after the government lifted travel restrictions, at one Calgary area hotel, the federal Liberal government spent $6,790,717.46 on lodging expenses for….…..wait for it….15 people.” .“That works out to $452,714.50 spent per person on a quarantine hotel — after they ended most travel restrictions.” .I reached out to Michelle this morning for comment but she has yet to respond. I think it was back in 1789 when French Queen Marie Antoinette helped spark a revolution by telling her staffers “let them eat cake” in response to complaints from the starving masses for bread. Well, the Trudeau government was serving a lot of cake at the Calgary Airport hotel. In fact my friend Freedom Convoy lawyer Eva Chipiuk, offered her snapshots from the Calgary Hyatt of what the quarantined did receive while during their three day stay. Looks scrumptious doesn’t it? She adds, “They didn’t even give us plates! We had to ask for them.”.And as far as a “quarantine” goes, Rempel also noted that she thought something smelled about this government gimmick, “particularly after there were allegations of sexual assault at some of the facilities, no scientific evidence offered by the government to show the program halted the spread of COVID better than home quarantine, and after the government's own expert panel recommended lifting travel restrictions in May 2021.” .So where did all the money go? How is it possible to spend that much money per person even if you are part of a government that has doubled the national debt in just seven years? We need answers and we need them now because this could happen again if Trudeau goes through with his persistent threat to resume lockdowns if Canadians haven’t knuckled under to his COVID-19 vaccine demands in sufficient numbers. .But there is a further lesson here. This illustrates exactly how governments like that run by Trudeau have followed the dictates of World Economic Forum founder and executive chairman Klaus Schwab when he told them the proper way to manage a health crisis. .“The pandemic represents a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine and reset our world,” Schwab has infamously said. .Well, as I’ve said before, that window of opportunity was once thought to be narrow but every time you hear about a new strain of COVID-19 — with increasingly sinister names — on the horizon, know that the window hasn’t closed yet. .As we await the arrival of the Emergencies Act Inquiry report and wonder if and when Trudeau is going to receive his secret advance copy, it is worth noting just what the Freedom Convoy achieved — besides causing Trudeau to run out of town and come back with authoritarian legislation in his hands. Have you noticed that we’re still allowed to shop and go into restaurants without wearing masks? The feds have even stopped demanding that we get vaccinated for the rest of our lives. .That has a lot to do with the courage of the Freedom Convoy. When they said enough is enough, Trudeau and many provincial governments — including the faux Conservative Ontario government of Premier Doug Ford — might have pushed back with police state tactics but they may have learned a lesson: Canadians are fed up with being pushed around by government and having their freedom taken away. .With the revelations of these hotel expenses, Canadians also need to be fed up with their taxes taken away and spent ruinously. .Judgment Day is a-coming.
