So when does the media start focusing daily on Gerald Butts, JT's chief of staff charging the taxpayers over $100,000 in moving expenses. Duffy was worse how? Heck how about our infrastructure minister spending 800,000 on office renos?

Ive been out of town so correct me if Im wrong but JT pulled his usual excuse out of the bag and blamed it on Harper saying it follows their process.  But then the Cons came out and said true, but Harper capped the expenses at $30,000 for senior staff and $10,000 for others.  And thus Butts has apologized and will re-pay it.

I thought JT was rich and wasnt going to suckle at the tax payers teat.  Didnt he make a point of saying people like he and Harper didnt need tax payer subsidies?  Now its "well, we're entitled to it so lets get it".  How many private sector employees get moving expenses to that extent?  Maybe their moving truck is paid for and a couple nights in a hotel.  But millionaires making a killing off selling their homes and passing the lawyer's fees onto the taxpayer?  Brutal.

The national Liberal media will let this blow over. They don't want to embarrass Justin.
