Show Notes

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his entourage billed taxpayers more than $220,000 for airplane food during their week-long tour of the Indo-Pacific last September.

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation dug up all the meal receipts through an access to information request.

Here are some of the airplane meals they enjoyed:

Braised lamb shanks with steamed broccoli and boiled baby potatoes.

Beef brisket and parsley mashed potatoes with truffle oil.

Pan fried beef tenderloin with port wine reduction sauce.

Strawberry shortcake and baked cheesecake with pistachio brittle.

All that and more in this week’s Taxpayer Podcast.
