CBC Site Of course the Ottawa resident isn’t going to leave Stornoway and move to his suburban McMansion. Unemployable as he is, finding a mover who’ll take “I’m sure to win the next election!” as a guarantee of payment is, ummmm, sketchier than most movers will accept.

    Honestly I do think it’s fair for him to stay considering he will 99% for sure win his dumb by election and have to move back in anyway. I picture it reversed with the NDP or something and I’d think the same thing. I do think it’s stupid that I KNOW people would be losing their minds if the NDP or Liberals were in the same position though.

      Agreed. This is American style storm in a teacup politics when we have bigger fish to fry -including his actual failures as a parliamentarian and lawmaker. It will cost more to move him out and in again, and putting his autistic daughter through two moves for “optics” is just dumb. Keep pointing out that he’s such a weak leader they needed to hand him the easiest seat in Canada on a platter, and /that/ will do more damage than pretending anyone cares about him staying rent free in Stornaway for a couple months.

      His lack of integrity is on full display. Campaigning to “vote for change”, not accepting the change his constituents voted for, then clearly taking advantage of taxpayer funded housing really just shows the true colours of both him and the CPC.
