I'm kind of in shock that a premier can be brought down by a 45k trip. I feel like anyone worth their salt could have easily navigated through this or blown it off easier.

It is a bit interesting. I wonder if Albertans are aware of how fast Harper's stuff can rack up the bill.

This is bad news for the WRP. It gives the PC's a chance rebuild confidence with voters before the next election. With the right person in charge chances are good they could win the next election.
I bet Airdrie alderman have worse excessive spending.
Doesn't make Redford right though.
It's not as much the absolute number as much as the reason. Her daughter's buddy just begs the question if she has this level of entitlement and disregard for funds, what else is out there?

Absolutely. $46k as the catalyst of your demise. ouch. As MMM said though, death by a thousand cuts.
I think that Redford was put in an unattainable situation in which she was destined for failure, her support was non-existent from anyone, no one really had her back at any point in time and frankly the Wildrose played really good (and bad depending on your view) politics in which they portrayed Redford as some sort of maniacal, egotistical person with the most extravagant personal spending in politics. The criticisms against her were almost all personal with little to do with actual policy.

I probably would have pulled every single MLA's expense reports and gone over them with a fine tooth comb. Then told each and every one of them to sing like canaries about how ****ing great I am.
