  • A valid argument can be made for having an executive transport plane in the provincial fleet. There is no valid argument for buying one of the most expensive business jets on the market for this purpose. If it’s supposed to be primarily for travel around the province then it makes even less sense.

    They’d be better served by something like a King Air 350, which is simpler and easier to service, can land on the gravel runways that are so common in northern Ontario, and is cheaper in every metric.

    This jet they’ve bought is 28.9M, I found a 2019 King Air 350i for 9.1M, and another from 2014 for 8M. (All Canadian dollars)

    But big expensive private jet make Dougie’s dick hard, I guess.
