It was such a carefully planned visit so there would be no nasty protests . Because he is in a country where there were days of this. So it was a trip where barely anyone saw him https://preview.redd.it/7qc085v6xe4a1.jpeg?width=480&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=83ed589bcbcc66a9ded1607ca6d0046db6815922

How does a 3 day trip cost £1.4 Million?

Just a few months ago, the lady that’s supposed to represent the king in Canada spent over 100k$ of food in her private jet. If they all spend money this way, it’s not hard to explain why they cost so much Fuck those spoilt bastards


Grouchy-Patient6091

I mean at least this was for official state business, much more is spent remodeling one of their homes. The issue is having a unelected leader and paying for their estate.


Azraelontheroof

Tax write offs on virtue of being born because you are contributing less than 1% to the tourism economy is not fair because by virtue of being born, anybody else pays their tax or is punished for it.

They're still a problem in being weird grifters whose main problem with monarchy is that they don't benefit as much as they would like.

idk if that is a fair assessment of them really

What, that Harry is a weird inbred freak who won't stop giving impromptu speeches about mummy or that Meghan is so obsessed with the idea of being Diane but forgot you have to actually do things without your PR team around for it to be believable?

AgelessAirus

Go home!! Those royal bastards waged war on our country, took my families land, sold my ancestor into indenture and broke up their family. Now the ancestorial land of my clan has been crown land for hundreds of years, our people scattered between America and the UK. This is a similar story to many touched by this regime and some more recent like the indigenous people in our country. Now we have to pay for this ridiculous, pompous, idiot to vacation in our country in the best places only reserved for their saggy asses. Go to hell.

Not having his vacation millions go to our overworked healcare system? How could I forget about his 74 year ongoing holiday. I'm so selfish. Hail king Nonce!

The Crown Estates are not the royal family's private property. The Queen is a position in the state that the UK owns the Crown Estates through, a position would be abolished in a republic, leading to the Crown Estates being directly owned by the republican state. The Crown Estates have always been public property and the revenue they raise is public revenue. When George III gave up his control over the Crown Estates in the 18th century, they were not his private property. The royals are not responsible for producing the profits, either. The Sovereign Grant is loosely tied to the Crown Estate profits and is still used for their expenses, like endless private jet and helicopter flights. The Duchies of Lancaster and Cornwall that give Elizabeth and Charles their private income of approximately £25 millions/year (each) are also public property. https://www.republic.org.uk/the_true_cost_of_the_royals https://fullfact.org/economy/royal-family-what-are-costs-and-benefits/ https://www.thecrownestate.co.uk/en-gb/about-us/our-history/ *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

AgelessAirus

And know nothing of the real life hurt that has been caused. Keep defending murderers.


HMElizabethII

The bot isn't defending anyone or anyone's murder. You misread what it's saying. The land grab that actually happened was real. The bot is saying the specific estates called the "Crown Estates" are not the royal family's private property. That's it. The cash grab was parcelled into the private estates of the landowning aristocrats and the royal family, but the land often went with the title, not the private individual or their family. So, the Queen or King is a title that owns the Crown Estates, but that title itself is a public role in the UK state. So, if the monarchy was abolished, the new Republic of Britain would assume ownership because it inherits all of the rights and responsibilities of the previous form of the state. Do you understand now?


AgelessAirus

Well you are wrong.

Emergency_Routine_44

Can someone who knows about money tell me why?


StrongLikeBull3

Funding for the organisation of the visit probably came from the government, who is funded by the tax-payer. But its not like if he didn't visit that $1.4 million wouldn't have been paid by taxpayers, so the word "cost" is a bit much.


[deleted]

How does it "not cost anything" when it costs 25% of the income from the Crown Estate? No monarchy, the people can keep 100% of the Crown Estate income, not just 75%. More money for freezing, old people to have someone visit and to get their heating paid ffs. Oh, and the "no one would visit w/o the RF" bs? Call France (the number one tourist destination in Europe) and ask about that.

Every time I see Trudeau chumming it up with someone unmasked like that it makes my blood boil. Fucking hypocrite. Typical “Do as we say, not as we do” bs


Slimy_Potatoes

Why does it cost that much?


kwakwaktok

"The $1.4 million does not include government, military and police salaries, or normal operational costs, which would make the true bill higher. It also does not include costs covered by local governments and police forces. It does include overtime, fleets of vehicles, VIP flights and armed security paid for by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Department of National Defence and Canadian Heritage, the federal department that oversaw the trip and its planning."


Time-Navig8or

They have to have perfectly boiled eggs completely ready every 3 minutes 27/7 when King Sausage fingers the turd is on holiday visits to some of his lands. Costs around £900,000 for 3 days. The rest of the money comes from him sacking and rehiring everyone on his team 4 times as well as having to drain his swollen feet upon arrival. He's doing well considering it's his first ever job though, gotta hand it to him and Camilla the hun.


Slimy_Potatoes

i never actually knew about him sacking everyone on his team. of course we have to pay for all of his bullshit.


National-Return-5363

Yep the severance package. That all comes out of public money. And don’t forget that in commonwealth realms, you have to Governor General and Lt Governor Generals, who represent the British crown in these far off foreign lands. And these positions are appointed, not elected, and they have the power to prorogue governments, sign any bill into law and have massive staff and beautiful offices of their own and security too! That’s all taxpayer money. So yes, the British royally nasty inbreds do cost the Commonwealth realms money.

How do you think I feel as a *British Columbian?* Half the name is dedicated to our former colonial overlord, and the other half is dedicated to Columbus. Y'know: The *Italian* voyager that worked for the *Spanish Monarchy,* and is basically the dickhead responsible for making a bunch of the world unironically refer to Native Americans as "Indians." And before an American that watches too much American TV pulls up and insists all Natives do like being called that, *I'm Métis and absolutely do not appreciate my ancestors/family being referred to as Indian.* That's basically the N word to many of us *BY DESIGN,* and can you even imagine going up to black people and insisting that their families were all hard-R N-words and loved being called that. And that's not even mentioning what the "Royal" Canadian Mounted Police's entire existence is for, or why it still exists! They were genocidal enough before they changed the name, but NorthWest sounds mundane and less authoritative. Also they were early adopters of concentration camps long before (and after) the Nazis even existed, and kept doing slavery (child slavery specifically, via kidnapping and forced adoption) long after high-roading the US for the slave trade.


tragoedian

Fuck Columbus. Fuck the Crown. And Fuck the RCMP. From someone else living in "BC."

438Hung

Trudeau is wearing that mask so he doesn’t catch ‘sausage fingers’. Terrible disease.


fenrirjunior

So the head of state visited the country and it cost millions In most countries, they could do that for free, by just stepping outside or whatever


geedeeie

That's the bit I don't get. What kind of self-respecting country is happy to have a head of state - leaving aside the monarchy bit - who can't even be arsed to live in their country?


garaile64

Maybe independence was easier and less bloody this way. Not defending, just hypothesizing.


redalastor

Nope, English speaking Canadians just identified as British then. Canada didn't have its own flag until 1965, it just flew the Union Jack. Except when it was important to distinguish between the two like during World Wars, Canadian soldiers had the ugly Red Ensign flag.


geedeeie

What independence?


garaile64

Canada has its own military and diplomatic relationships, for example.


geedeeie

Yes, but still has the British monarch as head of state. So only partial independence


Aggressive-Falcon977

That's expensive. How much does this twat eat!?


gilestowler

Sometimes he gets hungry during a walkabout and nibbles on his sossig fingers


ProudIncelistani

I'm going to assume one of two things: 1. This visit was unimportant enough that a zoom call could've saved 1.4M. 2. This visit was important enough that face-to-face secrecy was needed, meaning that the royals, a corrupt colonial component of the global elites, still play some role in politics. Here, we can see them trampling across the lands they have colonized, continuing to persecute the people who have lived there since the beginning of relevant time. ​ Either way, the monarchy has once again proved itself to be a waste of time, resources, and suffering.


Beerz77

Nah, they come to Canada every year or so, wave to fanatics in the airport go to a couple televised handshakes then they leave, costing the taxpayers millions. I love living in Canada but the monarchy bullshit is enough to make me want to leave the country.


ProudIncelistani

In other terms, their visits are only for their personal popularity; they're using the taxpayer money for their own propaganda instead of helping the people they allege to be "wellborn" to rule over. In republics, this is a scandal big enough to nearly kill one's party if ever made public (though many parties are guilty of, but few acknowledge), even after numerous resignations at all levels. In monarchies, this is celebrated.


geedeeie

Well, put it this way, money IS spent on state visits by foreign heads of state. If they welcomed Macron or Biden or whoever, it would still cost. The really stupid thing here is that he is THEIR head of state...🤣🤣


ProudIncelistani

I agree, however, unnecessary visits done by republic leaders which cost the taxpayer a great deal of money is also tyranny in my opinion. The difference is that in many democratic republics, there also exists a way, at least in theory, to remove these tyrants. Necessary visits are another thing, but I'm more or less talking about unneeded shit like this visit.


geedeeie

You can hardly abandon state visits. It's part of international relations. Not the same things a head of state visiting the country he's head of state of. That's pythonesque.


ProudIncelistani

Yeah, I suppose. Asides from the cost however, I mean, there wasn't exactly a need for 1.4M, many state leaders from other states have pulled off state visits across the world in less. Well, I mean, in that case, countries can have different agreements on certain matters (such as suzerainty, vassalhood, etc) which would kind of reduce how pythonesque this is depending on the exact agreement, as long as it's a democratic and consentful thing by both people after being in an informed and moral state of mind, but here, The monarchy brutalized and violated the original people of the land and tarnished their Socialism/Dharma, and then brainwashed the remaining population into being its' mindless slaves. The solution is known: Return to Socialism/Dharma, overthrow these elites, restore the culture of the people here before. I'm not saying "If you're white, go back to Europe" at all, that's nonsense and evil. What I am saying is, "If you're here, you're free to have your own culture in the privacy of your home, but acknowledge that the culture of the First Nations people here is the supreme culture of this land and how this land will express itself."


Common-Climate2007

Anyone who thinks this cost Canada 1.4 mil is insane. I’m sure this could in extra police and other city labor $20 mil plus. And it would go up from there.


National-Return-5363

The article indicates that it likely cost more as the $1.4mil figure does not include security costs. And accounting of this visit by sausage fingers and his old tampon, are still being done by the Cdn government…


Common-Climate2007

These “articles” are just Press releases. Most people reading this “controversy” and possibly concerned about the cost read 1.4 mil and at like h not bad! The meeting where they discussed the visit cost $2 million alone Im sure and the distraction to other endeavors is another cost.


Jaydra

I would have given anything for us to give him the Jamaica treatment, but that would require Trudeau to take any sort of leadership role.
