MichelleRempel What are the Liberal ties to this hotel ?

A lot of money moved around no questions asked.

I have a friend who was working at a hotel and you would be appalled at the waste of food that went untouched, left sitting in containers on racks.

I thought traveller's were supposed to pay $2,000 out of pocket...

Meanwhile First Nations’ Reserves are still without clean drinking water…

Well I hope they got REALLY nice rooms

cselley Somebody's pockets were lined it appears.

cselley Expecting a straight answer from Trudeau? Better luck here-

Something wrong with this headline. Does not compute. Looks like clickbait.

What a frickin waste of money. Our governments are worse than gangsters!!!

Major incompetence by federal bureaucrats and major thievery by Westin. Maybe it's time some jobs were lost on both sides.

Little gouging by Westin?
