Governor General's Travel Expenses, Spending on Public Education, and Pride Week in Calgary

Governor General Mary Simon has racked-up 3 million dollars in travel in her first year on the job. Is this a good use of taxpayer’s money and what sort of ‘structure’ is in place to ensure responsible spending for Public Officials? We tackle the topic with Franco Terrazzano, Federal Director of the ‘Canadian Taxpayers Foundation’.   How much is Canada spending on the public education system and how does it differ from province to province? We discuss the disparities across the country and whether more can be done to effectively fund the education system with Michael Zwaagstra, Senior Fellow at the ‘Fraser Institute’.   Finally, Calgary’s ‘Pride Week’ is now underway and will be capped off with the annual Pride Parade this weekend. We hear details on the many events taking place over the coming days with Anna Kinderwater, Manager of Communications with Calgary Pride.
