Justin and Mary Simon are both masked while they rob our tax purse. But we still know who they are, and we can charge them with theft.
Taxpayers were forced to pick up the tab for a $71,000 bill from “Icelimo Luxury Travel” during Governor General Mary Simon’s four-day visit to Iceland last fall.
The cost to taxpayers was more than $1,000 per hour during the 69.5 hours Simon and her entourage spent in the country, according to a review of her official itinerary.
Icelimo specializes in “genuine luxury travel life experiences … crafted with flair and finesse entirely around your dreams,” according to its website.
Simon spent Oct. 12-15, 2022, in Iceland to attend the Arctic Circle Assembly, an annual international gathering held at the Harpa Conference Hall in the capital city of Reykjavik.
The Harpa Conference Hall is located about 700 metres – or less than a 10-minute walk – from the Hotel Borg, where Simon and 15 others stayed during the trip.
The CTF obtained internal government records and receipts related to the trip through a series of access-to-information requests.
All told, the four-day trip cost Canadian taxpayers at least $298,000.
