Junket???
I can't understand the general public. Patient today was moaning that the Prime Minister was using a government jet to take our Canadian delegation to Nelson Mandela's funeral. He made it sound like the PM and friends were going on a junket to Las Vegas. How is he supposed to get there, go online and find a cheap ticket???? They have no idea of the work our government officials have to do. I'm sure the funeral is going to be a long, involved process. Lots of waiting and lining up as all the world leaders are herded through the process. Can't imagine the chaos. If it were me, I'd need a few weeks on the beach to recover.
