Sending such a large delegation of government officials sends a really poor message about fiscal responsibility. I already have conservative friends groaning about this.

Are they also groaning about the cost of a Poilievre byelection? 🤔 Curious minds want to know...

bouraad.bsky.social•12 days ago

Of course they are not.

I’m in Rome too! Well the airport hotel. Was going to go into town but thought it might be too busy.

Have never been here before but boy does this city not disappoint.

I just finished a cruise that started at the end of April (don’t worry I voted early). Went to Florence and Pompeii amongst others. Certainly an experience.

The traffic is a beast though. Just sayin’.

Glad you were able to go, and thanks for sharing your thoughts on the experience.

Rome is insane, something incredible around every corner, literally

Like for Palestine right Corey.

Great, so you're going to put those lovely sentiments into practice by calling for an immediate stop to the genocide in Gaza, right?

Oh so fuck the disabled & low income! Got it!! You travel to Rome & we suffer. Got it

What an absolute waste of taxpayer money.

As we return to our home countries, my hope is we reflect on his words and carry his message to reduce discord, hatred, violence, prejudice and poverty.

The mass itself was a moment of unity and connection, with hundreds of world leaders and hundreds of thousands of Catholics. (2/x)

Seating between Italian, French and African parliamentarians, what really strikes you as a Canadian on diplomatic duty is it’s not exaggeration that everybody looks like part of your delegation - because Canadians are from everywhere. (3/x)

That’s an incredible strength. As we build out friendships and alliances with the world, we are building them with great acquaintances, with dear friends - quite literally with family. (4/x)

More than any other country I believe Canada has the tools to put the Pope’s plea into action - to unite for a better, more loving world. (5/5)
