- Pierre Poilievre lost his seat and yet he refuses to leave the 19 room mansion that comes with a chef and groundskeepers - all paid for by the taxpayer. It is for the leader of the opposition "who is in Parliament." A grifter is going to grift. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6ZH...
- Reposted by ShirleyI’ve written to the NCC and they directed me to the Privy Council office. It’s deplorable that taxpayers are footing the bill for him. He’s a millionaire with two properties in Ottawa. The same leader who voted against everything to help struggling Canadians. Disgusting.
- Reposted by ShirleyIf he wins the byelection, he is saving taxpayers money. I just wish the CPC members would have a confidence vote before the byelection. That would save tax payers money. Get him out as fast as possible.
- Reposted by ShirleyIn an act of selflessness, Pierre Poilievre agrees to continue living in public mansion to save taxpayers money: “It would be more costly to taxpayers to move the family out and then right back into the residence later this summer,” Mr. Scheer said in a statement on Monday.
