It would seem our own local Jim Prentice has a hard time finding a gas pedal, and hence needs someone to drive him around, with major expense to any ministry he represents.

I suppose being a minister he is now 'elite' (unlike our Flames after the loss to St. Louis) and somewhere, sometime, it was decided someone like him needs to be driven around, and is above merely driving himself about, but I don't quite get why that is.

I mean really... this is not a Tory bash, or a Liberal bash (I'm sure they did it too) but what is it about being a cabinet minister that you no longer need to be burdened with the pain of driving?

I wonder if Jack Layton also has a driver? Does he use it?
