The GG is way out in front. In 2011/2012 he logged 600 official events. Next was the Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick with 550. The laziest Lt.Gov was the Manitoban with a mere 242. Here in Alberta it was 411, not bad.
These interesting stats are contained in the latest issue of the 'Canadian Monarchist News'. As a member of 'The Monarchist League', B receives this regularly and it is filled with facinating stuff -- if you are Monarchists, as we are. The Canadian Crown costs each Canadian $1.63 per year, the GG $1.31. All 11 Canadian Vice-regal representatives together cost a whopping 28 cents per person. By comparison, White House operations cost each American $5.24.
So, the next time someone complains about the cost of the Monarchy to Canadians, say "piffle".
