Reached by phone Wednesday, an NDP spokesperson said Ashton was in Quebec City “to discuss language priorities”…
An NDP MP who frequently joins parliamentary proceedings remotely from her riding billed the House of Commons for a trip she took to reportedly meet with “stakeholders” over the Christmas holidays in Quebec — travel that included bringing her husband and kids along at taxpayers’ expense.
Parliamentary travel records indicate NDP MP Niki Ashton was only in Ottawa on one occasion for four days during the fall 2022 sitting.
But on Dec. 21 of that year, Ashton flew from Thompson, Man. to Ottawa — five days after the House of Commons had already risen for its Christmas break.
Ashton’s partner Bruce Moncur, a former NDP nomination candidate, and their two children also made the trip with the MP to the nation’s capital.
Then, on Christmas Day, 2022, the family of four travelled to Quebec City. Ashton billed the Commons for some of the expenses they incurred along the way.
Social media posts show Moncur and the children took in some of Quebec City’s winter attractions, including an ice slide and snow tubing at Village Vacances Valcartier outside the city centre.
Ashton is also seen in those posts skating with her children and visiting the city’s German Christmas Market.
The bearded popsicle who’s NDP honcho will come to the rescue: yeah but it’s not as serious as $17 orange juice.
Amusing indeed. Niki wants taxpayers to foot the bill for her family vacations. She’s just following the lead of Justatwit and his history of taxpayer abuse to pay for vacations.
To a thief, there are no moral guide posts concerning the theft, just the fear of being caught followed by denial and righteous indignation that people would be opposed to what they are “entitled” by their standing in society. This applies equally to the free lance socialist low-life on the street as well as to those within “self-legitimizing” institutions.
Nobody spends other people’s money faster than a socialist.
“Ashton was in Windsor to meet with people associated with a “soccer recreation centre,” to learn about “federal funding to create some soccer opportunities in northern Manitoba for Indigenous folks.”
Why impose a white man’s game on indigenous folks? Why not develop traditional indigenous sports like lacrosse. There must be other long lost indigenous sports that can be retrieved from minds of the knowledge keepers to pass on to “indigenous folks”.
This whole fantasy of her travels to research constituents needs conveniently around holidays is unmistakable bull $#!t
2nd generation NDP scammer.
Her father, Steve Ashton, and tiger dams, look it up.
