Taxpayers pick up Tory tab

[CHIMO]

When Defence Minister Peter MacKay flew to British Columbia in January, he split his time between government business and two Tory fundraising gigs. Taxpayers footed the bill.

When then-Indian affairs minister Jim Prentice flew to Nova Scotia to meet with provincial chiefs, he headlined a Conservative fundraising dinner in Prince Edward Island. Taxpayers paid for the trip.

And when Fisheries Minister Loyola Hearn jetted off from a Quebec fisheries forum to attend a government meeting in Manitoba, he also guest-starred at a local Tory fundraising banquet.

The federal Conservatives – elected on promises to be squeaky clean – are using government resources to help fill their election war chest.

Seems like a religion. Do as I say not as I do.

1. I wish the article checked into the claims of Conservative spokespersons:

"...this is the way it has always been done and the Liberals did it too."

The Star put the suggestion out there; they should have confirmed it one way or the other.

2. The tories have always been thieves
