To me this one has been pretty low on the scandel scale. What am i missing. Outside of many senators improperly claiming expenses what makes this one newsworthy?
I think it has to be mentioned that some of his "expenses" were also billed while he was campaigning for the CPC. Clearly partisan.

Honestly, if you or I were to not know where our residence is and therefore file our taxes improperly how long do you think that excuse would be viable for the CRA? I'm not an accountant, but I'm guessing we'd be screwed. This is no different. Senators running around claiming residences wherever its better for them to get bigger expense cheques. An absolute disgrace.
