Layton's and Ignatieff's Expenses Are Too Expensive!

If one wants to know how each of our 3 leaders will handle the finances of the country, one does not have to look any further than how they handle their own expenses as Members of Parliament.

For the most recent 12 month on-line report on MP's expenses (excluding salaries) here is a sample:

Jack Layton $628,913
Michael Ignatieff $570,984
Prime Minister Harper $281,255

Just think how much Mr. Layton and Mr. Ignatieff would suck from the puiblic coffers should they become Prime Minister!

By the way, Mr. Layton's wife, Olivia Chow dinged the taxpayers for $530,304. Combined, Jack and Olivia managed to take over $1,000,000 in expenses over a 12 month period from the public purse ... not bad for 2 socialists!

Perhaps Sheila Fraser our Auditor General should legitimize these exhorbitant expenses.
