Quebec is where all our greatest Prime Ministers hail from….says Justin. Greatly schooled in the art of corruption imho.
I keep asking myself why no one mentions that she was appointed by Chretien and the Liberals. Chretien. And the Liberals.
Not Harper. And if there is any logic to the “blame Harper for Duffy et al” nonsense we’ve heard incessantly for the past two years, you’d think the media and opposition brain trusts would remark on that. But so far its “the Sound of Silence.”
Other Liberal news du jour, in China no less,

$700,000 ÷ 18 = I month of time for every $38,888…if you get caught …but in Quebec, she’ll be out in 6 months… $700,000 ÷ 6 = Hmmmmmmmmmmmm…………
LIBERAL, provincially, LIBERAL federally, THIS IS NOT NEW, SHE IS A LIBERAL CROOK
She’s probably out on bail,pending the election,after which a Liberal or NDP PM will pardon her due to age and infirmity.
This is just another iceberg tip in the most corrupt Province in Canada,where bribery and influence peddling are mandatory and it’s hard to tell the politicians from the gangsters.
Now that I think of it, under Chretien,they were often the same people,ie Alfonso Gagliano.
Did they put her in leg irons too?
Yeah, I know she’s in a wheelchair, but, just saying, these political criminals must be a real dangerous sort, if the leg jewelry is good for Del Maestro, they can clink up this Chretien marm.
…expensed roof repairs, ski and golf outings, legal fees for her divorce lawyer, a specially adapted golf cart, and travel, dinner and birthdays with friends and family. She once filed expense claims for fishing rods and earthworms purchased from a hunting shop.
Hey, she was obviously promoting “wheelchair canoeing and fishing” on the Saguenay river! What could be more Canadian?
“All in all, she claimed $700,000 in expenses unrelated to her vice-regal duties.”
That deserves a song:

SING IT LISE THIBAULT!!
Got a snap in my fingers
Got a rhythm in my walk
As the elephant say I’m livin’ in a great big way
Got a handful of nothin’ And I watch it like a hawk
Well I’m doin’ OK I’m livin’ in a great big way
I’m the salt in the ocean I’m the sun in the sky
I’m a Franklin D. Roosevelt I’m a million dollars
Long as I’ve got a Snap in my fingers
Got a rhythm in my walk
Got the devil to pay
I’m livin’ in a great big way.
Cheers

I notice they (the national post) convieniently forgot to put liberal in the title as well. So pathetic!!
This is different – vice regal entitlement
Last night, (Sept. 30) the CBC ran the following headline!! I also notice that the National Post article failed miserably when it came to the use of the word ”Liberal”
Lise Thibault ordered to repay $300K, serve 18 months
Crown was seeking a 4-year-sentence for Quebec’s former lieutenant-governor
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/lise-thibault-sentencing-1.3249849
Now stealing from the government in Quebec and Ottawa is definitely not news. However I am quite surprised that both the NP and the CBC forgot to mention that Mme Thibault was a member of the Liberal Party of Quebec, and a member of the Liberal Party of Canada. She ran unsuccessfully as a (Liberal) member of the Quebec assembly in 1981, and as a (Liberal) federal MP in 1984 in that province. She was also president of the ”commission des communications” for the Quebec section of the Liberal Party of Canada in 1986-87, as well as Lieutenant Governor of Quebec from 1997-2007. She was appointed by Jean Chretien.
Now if we can only get Duffy in there too…
I can see the headlines in the Québec media:
“Catering Costs in Québec Prison Soar as Duffy Settles In”
I read the article….did I miss the detail about her being Liberal!?
The media is disgusting.
Oh don’t worry.It IS on Facebook….
Harper has no friends in Quebec. It is the worst run provincial government in the country over the decades. They have taken more and will continue to take more equalization than any other province. Mulchair is a part of that and Turdeau sees nothing wrong with that. How could he since his father set the whole process of robbing the rest of Canada to do it.
I have a simple analogy for voters I talk to. If your company, the place you work, were looking for a new CEO who would you pick? Turdeau, Mulchair or Harper. Before you make that choice simply remember the survival of your job might depend on his success. It is a no brainer but I realize in saying that it does not seem to count that much anymore.
A Chretien appointee. This is my shocked face.
She should pay all $700,000 back, plus interest and penalties.
Sadly, Canada lacks the electric wheelchair as a penalty.
I didn;t quite catch that name, was it “Turdcaught”?
