The Liberal Party is the only party recognized in the House whose MPs did not file expenses for attending a caucus meeting connected to a convention in the past year.
CONservatives have been caught spending more than $400K in taxpayers’ money to attend a party CONvention.
The Conservative Party of Canada (Reform Party) is simply, not worth the cost.
As a taxpayer I think it’s ridiculous I have to pay for Poilievre’s cross Canada election tour for an election a year away; the CPC costs Canadians almost 80 percent of the total spent by all parties. Basically triple what the Liberal government spent. Fiscal managers... yes, if your goal is to go bankrupt.
Episode 383, Thurs May 16, 2024, Here, We, GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
On Episode 383 of our show, we explore your wallet getting dinged 2 ways: 1. Conservative MPs billing taxpayers greater than $425,000 (or 79% of spending by all MPs) to attend a caucus meeting associated with the party's policy convention, and being the only party to bill taxpayers for expenses incurred by 'designated travelers' accompanying them, and 2. Skyrocketing catastrophic premiums resulting from extreme weather events.
Also, we talk about:
* Coast to Coast to Coast Wildfire Update
* Slovak Politics: Robert Fico
* Gas Prices
* Fiscal Responsibility
* Another Crypto Bro in Court
* Deana Sherif
* ♪ We Don't Talk About Mohammed♫
* Extreme Weather and Catastrophic Insurance Premiums
* "I'm Staying!"

Not everyone can do everything. But everyone can do something. Because #DemocracyIsSomethingYouDo...
Write to your MP, MPP, MLA, MNA, Senator, or preferred local media outlet to tell them you expect them to dig deep into the Doug Ford corruption story as well as indicted-in-the-USA-for-trying-to-steal-an-election Mike Roman's links to Stephen Harper and Andrew Scheer. And tell them you want them to do more to house the homeless.
If you live in Alberta, get involved in canvassing for the AB NDP Leadership race. If you are in Saskatchewan or New Brunswick, why not look into working at a polling station this coming election?
With the current strain on our health care professionals, do the right neighbourly thing to keep our hospitals unclogged and be sure to get your summer COVID boosters. Also check whether you are up to do on your MMR vaccinations.
Finally, support your fellow Canadians by donating to the Red Cross Wildfire Response.
