    It is a sad commentry on politicians that they regard the public purse to be used with impunity ! The taxpayer realises that they have expenses but why ,for instance cant a politician use a taxi instead of a limo? Why do they have to eat at expensive restaurants with their cronies ,travel first class ,use government and private jets to go where they please ? But it is typical of the Tories to try to prevent the taxpayer from knowing whats going on ! SHAME

    As long as G.W. Bush's puppet who goes by the name of S. Harper is headding the country, don't expect anything from the many promisses he made just to get elected. He is a control freak and the sooner he is gone, the sooner the middle class canadian people will have a better life. It has been lies from the get go and will continue. Those who think otherwise are disllusionned by his smooth talking. Let's get rid of him and his croonies and get someone who will stand up to the likes of G.W. Bush.

    It's just the beginning of the scandals that will rock this government, unless of course they get rid of the freedom of information act ... which is just the kind of thing Harper would love to do. They are a very crafty lot with an agenda they will keep hidden unless they get a majority government. I hope that never happens.

    Here we go again. Be sure of one thing and is that you will be unable to embarrass or humiliate the Tories; they are utterly devoid and any shame!

    Politicians from all parties do this sort of thing. Because they can. All the partisan blathering in the world, whether here in this chatroom, or on Parliament Hill, or anywhere else, cannot alter what all politicians are. Their aura of "entitlement" is disgusting.

    TRUST NO ONE . Fellow Canadians, is anyone really surprised by this? Do you think this is the worst of it? Get a grip! There are worse things going on in secret than you can imagine. This is a 'tip of the iceberg' incident. Accountable and Transparent, while in theory sound promising, is just another load of political bullsh!t. We have to be more vocal about our dis-trust. We have to bring power back to the people. If we elect them, can we reject them? LESS TALK ... MORE ACTION

    All politicans should be reminded to stop taking and start giving to a country they should love, a country that has given them a priviledge trust, a country that cries for everyone one to do his part. To take and not give says I don't love this country I love myself. It's time to dock the old pay cheques. Then you find out who loves the country for what it is..
