Hi John,

You’re tightening your belt while the Governor General is cashing a new salary hike. Here’s how you can fight back.

The Governor General’s salary jumped by $15,800 this year, pushing her pay to nearly $394,000, all on your dime.

That raise was automatic. No review. No vote. Just a guaranteed pay bump, even though she already earns about five times more than the average Canadian.

While you are struggling with higher grocery bills, housing costs and interest rates, Ottawa’s ceremonial figurehead keeps cashing in.

And the salary is only the beginning. On top of nearly $400,000 a year, the Governor General also gets a taxpayer-funded mansion, full staff, luxury travel, a six-figure clothing allowance and a lifetime expense account.

Prime Minister Mark Carney says he wants to cut program spending. If he is serious, the first cut should be obvious: the Governor General’s pay and perks at Rideau Hall.

That’s why it’s critical for you to sign the petition to cut the Governor General’s salary and perks. 

When you sign, you add your voice to a growing movement for accountability, and you’ll be the first to know when it’s time to pressure politicians and force real action to rein in Rideau Hall’s budget.

Will you sign the PETITION to cut the Governor General’s salary and perks?

Every week, exhausted parents and small business owners tell me how hard the cost of living is hitting them. They deserve leaders who respect their hard-earned tax dollars, not politicians who waste them on extravagance at the top.

Your voice matters. Thank you for fighting back.
