General Leslie – middle class champion

By now we know that retired General and Justin Trudeau advisor Andrew Leslie used $72,000 of Canadians’ money to move a few blocks inside Ottawa.

Yesterday Liberals confirmed to journalists that General Leslie won’t be paying the money back, and the Liberal Party isn’t asking him to.

How does General Leslie’s pork barrelling compare to Conservative pork barrelling?

$72,000 will get you:

  • 665 nights in the Savoy for Bev Oda
  • 4500 glasses of Conservative orange juice
  • 405 days of travel by Pamela Wallin

Canadians deserve better than replacing Conservative entitlement with Liberal entitlement.
