The Gravy Plane Controversy

The province spent nearly $30 million on a private jet for the premier — a used Bombardier Challenger 650 — only to flip it back to the manufacturer days later, pocketing the same $28.9 million price tag but absorbing $190,000 in extra costs. Critics branded it the “gravy plane,” slamming the purchase as out of touch amid rising living costs. The premier admits he mishandled the explanation but defends the buy, while opponents demand accountability for the wasted funds — sparking fresh questions about political spending and accountability.
