Governor General blazed through 25K litres in fuel to give a climate lecture
This is not the first time Simon has been accused of wasting fuel and money for green virtue points. Another exposure by Blacklock's Reporter uncovered Simon using the Challenger for a 3000 km commute to attend a 6-minute ceremony.
Governor General Mary Simon told the crowd in Rovaniemi, Finland that, "We cannot ignore that how we do things is just as important as what we do," in her speech titled "Discussion on Climate Change and the Impacts on Livelihoods."
The February 9, 2023 trip to deliver the carbon scolding by the GG included an excessive entourage at the expense of the taxpayer. Simon's husband, photographer, and 13 other passengers and crew were aboard the Challenger Jet managed by the Royal Canadian Air Force.
