Harper Hypocrisy Watch: Conservatives boost spending on political staff in satellite offices

You may remember Canada’s Conservatives from such complaints as “how dare you have regional satellite offices”, “regional offices are the worst” and other such bits of fake indignation.

But more news comes this morning of their own habits. As the Canadian Press reports today:

“Between 2009-10 and 2013-14, the budget for staffing at the regional offices rose from $1.6 million to $2.7 million, according to figures tabled in the House of Commons this week”

Say it ain’t so!

Will the Conservatives and Liberals be teaming up together behind closed doors to take on this latest example of Conservative excess? Don’t hold your breath.

And unlike the Conservative offices, NDP support offices have been used for Parliamentary work, not partisan organizing.

Canadians deserve better.
