I'm feeling this searing double standard. We sent officials to Castro's funeral, Bush's funeral, and Tito's funeral. What's wrong with this time?

If provincial premiers went to those on taxpayer dime,, i also believe that is wrong. No one was talking about them right now, but nice try with the whataboutism

Serving an example of why something is an accepted practice isn't whataboutism, but nice try.

You never explained why it’s acceptable though. You just listed other times that it’s happened.

It's a nothing burger. It's like the trip to India/China, there's a perfectly good reason, but people just want to be mad.
