Honestly it doesnt matter what the real number is, the point is we have a President who lies no matter what.
He seems unable to actually tell the truth about ANYTHING.
It would be one thing if he said - "we're going through some hard times and I know your costs are going up but here's the plan to bring them down"
But instead we get - "Golden Age, Times have never been better, No inflation, no problem with the deficit, No Tax on Social Security..." and on and on.
He lies like he breathes.
He's a disgusting scumbag.
The only one who can beat Trump is Trump the next day. OK, that is it.

Hong Kong no longer has freedom of speech now that the Brits have abandoned more of the freedom they projected across continents. The enemy of words is the enemy of everyone.

This is a test to see if I can do a fact check without getting dumped on 
.
According to the the Canadian Taxpayers Federation:
"“Carney spent more money on airplane food during one trip than the average family will spend on groceries in almost a decade,” said Franco Terrazzano, CTF Federal Director. “Carney keeps promising to spend less, but if he isn’t willing to cut back on airplane food, then what will he spend less on?”
Carney and his 55-person entourage spent $159,800 on airplane food during one week-long trip to Athens, Abu Dhabi, Johannesburg and the Canary Islands in November 2025, according to government records tabled in response to an order paper question. That’s $2,850 per passenger."
$2,850 over a week is $407 per day per person. Using 9 years for "almost a decade" is 3,287 days (includes 2 leap years). That says for the "average" Canadian family, the cost for "groceries" is 12.4 cents per person per day.
The big sleight of hand here is comparing the cost for 55 people to a single family member. Followed closely by comparing the cost of prepared food to "groceries".
Using honest math and comparisons:
If the "average" family member were to use $10/day for food, that "almost a decade" claim is really 285 days, 78% of one year, instead of "almost a decade".
Sure it's over the top for these people to spend $407 (canadian) per day per person on food, but enhancing the real data with phony enhancements, and comparing different things to each other, has become normal for a lot of reporting.
Carney drops $160,000 on airplane food during one trip
