Forty-eight-hundred pounds a night was far, far too much for Canadian taxpayers to shell out for any hotel room for any member of our delegation to the Queen’s funeral. It was too much at $6,000 Canadian — the converted figure the Toronto Sun’s Brian Lilley reported, based on documents received through access-to-information — and it was even more too much at $7,300 Canadian, which is what £4,800 was actually worth on the day of the funeral.
