that 57 MPs claimed their home internet costs as part of their constituency office expenses. That included 28 Conservative MPs, the most of any party.Sign up to receive the daily top stories from the National Post, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.

The Post looked at expense reports from just one quarter last summer, July 1 to Sept. 30, 2023, and found that in addition to the Conservatives, 20 Liberal MPs, eight members of the Bloc Québécois and an independent MP were also submitting the bills for their home internet.Article content
Awww! .. bless their greedy little hearts..
All of a sudden Pollievre loves the media! Great! Ask him about crypto, ask him about his environmental policies, ask him about supporting the convoy.
Thanks but never should have been a thing in the first place
how many civil servants working from home are getting internet paid by taxpayer - and assorted othewr streaming services?
I am of two minds on that subject: they do require an internet connection for work, but they also make over 180k a year.
Cover what MonaFortier did to hundreds of thousand publicservants ! She stated RTO was required to refuel the lunch shops and parking garages ! These GOC BUILDINGS SHOULD BE MADE INTO PUBLIC HOUSING!! RTO targets single mothers. Abuse of power!
But have no problem dining and expensing their night steak dinners at the fine dining restaurants downtown Ottawa.
Caught with his pants down. Conservatives had the largest number of MPs passing household expenses to taxpayers. These are the guys blaming the Government for inflation. PierrePoilievre
So kind.
Only because you got called out on it
Rather you stopped the ridiculous federal pensions, your boss, that's us, say we pay 5.2% towards your cop, we your boss don't approve of any other pension for all federal workers, including you and all federal cabinet members
Sounds like 🐂💩to me! I'm sure it will be buried in their expenses somewhere... 🙄 CdnPoli CPC CPCNonsense PierrePoilievreIsLyingToYou PierrePolievreIsADemagogue PierrePoilievreMustGo PeePeeMustGo PierrePoilievreIsBroken
Thank fuck for that, now just need to hold political purges of most of the political class (Libs? Cons? NDP? Yes.), bar them and fam from running for office or controlling public-private corps for rest of their lives, but it's good MPs are paying for their own internet 🤡🤡
Let's see, less than 120 con MPs, at let's say $100/month for home internet x 12 months is less than one MPs yearly salary. Big effing deal
They should also pay back the money billed to taxpayers. No politician, no later the party, should be partaking of freebies at the taxpayers expense. We don’t get freebies!!
If only Trudeau would stop passing his vacations on to us.
It should never have happened in the first place.
Say what? I am DEAF and disabled and I gotta pay how much and they can write that shit off as a tax expense ffs? I am forced to pay for a telephone just so I can have data and texting and video calling with NO credit for being deaf . BULL
I'm sure all politicians do this. Nice to see a leader taking a stand on it! Can't wait for the day you are elected PM!!
So
Conservative MPs could save taxpayers a bundle by resigning en masse since the lot are useless wastes of space. All they do is troll.
What other expenses do they pay with constituent funds? Food, gas, electricity?
How about all public officials declare all foreign bank accounts and all associated business relationships? canpoli
That’s journalism.
still going to vote for him way better then the current thing we have
Really, wow, it worth being an MP.
Every policy of the liberal & ndp is an assault on alberta and the west. Whether it’s oilandgas Cattle farming mining Thier goal is the decimation of the west. It’s easy to draw parallels between the PLO terror attacks on Israel and the Ottawa attacks on Western cdn
Just another of “Pennies Poilievre’s” ridiculous monetary proposals. Like his Axe the Carbon Tax slogan, it adds nothing of substance to help Canadians. I must say, this is a bit “Gatekeeperish” of him to impose this on the CPC MP’s.
That ought to take a bite out of the deficit.What a visionary.
I don’t care if MPs were expensing it for decades -likely including Mr P- but then to say after a news article comes out “we’re stopping”? Disengenous. The BS reeks I can smell it from here. Guess no concrete policy issues to discuss…another C grade career Canadian politician
Ridiculous, the nature of their jobs would require being connected so it should be covered.
Wow! What a sacrifice. I am floored.
That's big of them
DanielleSmithforPrimeMinister
Is this even newsworthy? Where is their plan to fight inflation and utilize Canadian resources for Canada.
Wait, MPs get their internet bills paid for?
This is a drop in the ocean. Pay back your convoy costs to the taxpayers, CPC
We shouldn’t be paying any MP’s internet bill. It’s not like they didn’t have internet service before they became a MP.
shock .. hes like all politicians .. tell people what they want to hear
Do we get reimbursed for the bills we’ve paid? Like if we owed taxes….with interest.
With billions off cellular devices and internet uses you think the politicians would pay there way,putting on the tax payers lose you votes
Convoy Party grifters gotta grift, eh?
And they will cut all social programs to compensate. We know the drill! We’re not falling for it! NeverVoteConservative
Will Pierre's MP tenants stopping passing on their inflated rent to public purse?
Naked populist opportunism. NotFitToLead
Conservatives are nothing but a bunch of liars! RWNJs have takes over that party!
Over to you justie!
