Warhippy Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 So for less than 22 total days of travel. This MP brought her family and managed to spend close to $30k in total travel for 3 trips. The trip cost taxpayers $17,641.12, including $13,619.90 for airfare and other transportation, $2,508.39 for accommodations and $1,512.83 for meals and other incidentals, according to Commons records. Ashton justified billing taxpayers for the trip by claiming she was going to the provincial capital to "attend meetings with stakeholders about business of the House" over the holidays, according to House of Commons travel records. Ashton's office referred inquiries about the travel to a party spokesperson. Reached by phone Wednesday, an NDP spokesperson said Ashton was in Quebec City "to discuss language priorities" because she's the party's critic for official languages and needed to "find out things she needs to prioritize." On another trip in May 2023, Ashton travelled — again with Moncur and her kids — to Windsor, Ont. where Moncur grew up and went to school and university. The six-day trip to Windsor happened as Ashton was travelling infrequently to Ottawa for parliamentary proceedings. Travel records suggest she was physically in the nation's capital for fewer than 30 days — including some weekends — over the first six months of 2023. The Commons sat for 70 weekdays over the same time period. Unlike senators, MPs can participate in debate and committee meetings virtually under pandemic-era rules that were made permanent in 2023. The Windsor trip cost taxpayers $9,748.03 — all of it for airfare. Ashton did not charge for any accommodations or incidentals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travel budgets are irresistible. But there are some pretty big differences in what folks on the political spectrum are willing to do, or what they think is important.

Satchmo Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 4 minutes ago, The Arrogant Worms said: It's just so easy to look this kind of stuff up. I already knew this though and I would imagine PP did too. I also imagine he knew most of his base would not. The renaming of the German Worker's Party (DAP) to the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP) was partially driven by a desire to draw upon both left-wing and right-wing ideals, with "Socialist" and "Workers'" appealing to the left, and "National" and "German" appealing to the right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
