Re: Conservative MPs Love Riding the Gravy Train
Every politician doesn’t matter which party they are associated is riding the gravy train.crookedmember wrote: ↑Jul 27th, 2021, 11:15 am Noted accused homophobe and anti-choicer Tracy Grey is certainly not alone when it comes to exorbitant travel expenses charged to the taxpayers. The Conservative benches appear to be rife with those who couldn't care less about those of us who work to foot their bills.
It wouldn't be so bad if she at least accomplished something. Other than grift.
And then there's Mel . . .
Tell me again how this is the party of fiscal responsibility. I could use a laugh.

Great work and thanks for the information

Per link:Septuagenarian wrote: ↑Aug 2nd, 2021, 6:04 am How the find and download MP expenditures.
PREVIOUS REPORTS
https://www.ourcommons.ca/ProactiveDisc ... us-reports
Just pick a Fiscal Year; Expenditures by Members; and then download the Annual Report as below.
The Members’ Expenditures Report for the first quarter of 2020-2021 outlines Members’ expenditures processed by the House Administration between April 1 and June 30, 2020.
I would be interested to see the expenditures report from June 2020 until now.
I can't find it on your link.
Or am I missing something.

Re: Conservative MPs Love Riding the Gravy Train
What these politicians are doing is within the rules, but if you want to be the party of conservative fiscal management, transparency, balancing the budget and saving the taxpayers' cash, just because you can do something, it doesn't mean you should.
Many of these CPC MPs have never held real jobs and have been slurping at the government trough their entire adult lives.
They are greedy, selfish people who would unplug your life support to charge their cell phones.

Those who get into becoming a politician are trying to get to the early retirement... people are greedy for most part. This goes over all political lines.
Politicians have a lot in common with sleazy sales people.

Re: Conservative MPs Love Riding the Gravy Train
And yet not one thing above is substantiated. A lot of politicians have never held real jobs and have slurping at the trough. To single out the CPC is dishonest, disingenuous, and reeks of desperation, which everyone can understand, given how close the Liberals are to completely losing power, and being thoroughly disgraced.

Re: Conservative MPs Love Riding the Gravy Train
Well......this is the title of this thread and I'm reminded of the last CPC leader who never held a real job, lied about it to make his resume look better, sucked from the public teat for all it was worth and then some.......is that kinda the example you were looking for?The Green Barbarian wrote: ↑Aug 2nd, 2021, 10:09 amAnd yet not one thing above is substantiated.

Re: Conservative MPs Love Riding the Gravy Train
To be fair, I'm sure slurping at the trough isn't the sole domain of Conservatives, there has been a long-standing attitude among our elected officials, along with government employees and contractors, that government money is easy money.crookedmember wrote: ↑Aug 2nd, 2021, 9:41 amMany of these CPC MPs have never held real jobs and have been slurping at the government trough their entire adult lives.
