The refugee coordinator is getting paid $1,800 per day to greet the refugees. They should have hired me and 30 of my closest friends, instead. I work for $50 per day (after taxes) as a Wal-mart greeter, and I promise to actually stay out on the floor and sincerely greet the refugees. —Disgusted Income Challenged Kanadian

  1. AH you petty fools, squabbling over ‘liberal’ and ‘conservative’ … blind as a bat you all are. It’s government waste and I agree 1,800/day is an outrageous sum of money. Do you really think it would be any different with the Cons? The NDP?

  2. Don’t worry about missing out on the fun, Walmart Greeter. You’ll get your chance, soon enough.

  3. Its actually the city on Montreal paying this dude, not the federal liberals. I agree though, it is a little silly. Even a rate of $180 an hour seems steep if he’s putting in 10 hour days. Not completely out of this world for a contractor though.

  4. You should see the donation baskets lately – pitiful! I’m getting a job as a Walmart greeter just to make ends meet…

  5. I’m curious as to how this cost couldn’t be cut by simply recording the first greeting on video and just replaying it?

    I mean, that’s gonna use power which is always getting more fucking expensive but I’m sure even an IMAX running 24/7 doesn’t burn through $1800 a day.
