Taxpayers foot bill for high-flying Guergis, Elizabeth Thompson, 12 Apr.'10,

"According to proactive disclosure reports, Guergis charged taxpayers for $273,158 for the period from May 2006 to mid-February 2010. In 2008, as Canada was heading into a recession, Guergis spent $113,429 with trips to destinations that included Beijing, Georgia, Ukraine, Poland, Belize, Guatemala, Peru, Columbia, El Salvador, New Delhi, Miami, Jamaica, Barbados and Mexico City. "

Am I reading this right??? Is this possible???

No wonder Guergis blew up at the Charlottetown Airport.

She has spent so much time at airports, the laws of probabilities dictated it.

Also, it highlights her considering Charlottetown as "this shithole". I mean, after all, she is a jet setter accustomed to much more exotic and cosmopolitan places. What arrogance and from someone leading this great and proud nation of ours.

How many other of Harper's Ministers really think this way but are able, so far, to keep it under raps. How could Harper choose someone of such questionable character to be a Minister. We saw a similar serious lapse in judgment with Maxime Bernier.

Clearly Harper chooses his cabinet not because of ability, character, maturity, but solely for political reasons.

Jean Chrétien didn't do that. Chrétien's claim to fame and secret behind his success for so long was exactly being able to pick the best qualified person for each Ministerial Post and Canada reaped the benefits.

Chrétien's objective was to do what was right (morally) for Canada.

Stephen Harper objective is to do what is extreme right (ideologically) to Canada and Canadians be damned.
