Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer says travel expenses he racked up ahead of the federal election were 'partisan expenses' that were paid for by party funds.

SHARE

Scheer, who announced his resignation last week, is under investigation by the Conservative party’s governing body over expenses filed this year. Reports suggest that Scheer filed more than $900,000 in expenses for the fiscal year, roughly $700,000 above their usual amount, although that amount has not been confirmed by CTV News.

“But I can just tell you that all the travel I did in the summer, that was partisan in nature. We did not charge the taxpayer, we charged to the party funds, which is what Justin Trudeau should’ve done for his summer too,” Scheer told CTV’s Kevin Gallagher at the Ottawa International Airport.“I don’t have anything to add at this time on that. But as I said, for the funds that were used for partisan travel this summer, those were paid for by party funds,” he said.

Taxpayers are sick and tired of paying for politicians luxuries. And your paycheque should be cut in half

ow cut the guy some slack!!

Andrew Scheer has lied about pretty much everything so far. I’m not about trusting him now.

Lets see: He lied about his 'middle class' upbringing. He lied about being an insurance broker. he lied about where he got his degree. He lied about his citizenship. He was outed for using party funds to pay his kids private school tuition. 🤔 So why should I believe him now?

Wow, this article brings out the con bots. Can’t say anything against their chipmunk leader.

Trudeau gets not even so much as a tsk tsk from MSM for every one of his indiscretions and Scheer gets challenged on made up crap? Are you kidding me? Take all your MSM media news and stuff it where the sun don’t shine. MSM are liberal hacks.

Simple when you spend the summer campaigning for a party there are expenses when you travel across the county. If you do not understand this concept best take a math course.

Enough already just let him go home.

Nobody believes a conservative nowadays, him and ford thats all they did why lie or make up numbers and other crap

Scheer been hitting those nitrous oxide canisters too.

Unlike PMJT that closes down investigations of himself.

Wouldn't Conservative party donors also be tax payers? Am I missing something here? Are tax payers and donors two mutually exclusive groups?

Card carrying conservatives did.

No reason for Scheer to repay any expenses for difference in education costs between his western home riding and Ottawa. Media are remiss in not doing an appropriate review of all leaders in recent memory from outside Ottawa. As for Conservative bitching, this is sour grapes.

AndrewScheer had a group of people CPC_HQ fund a subsidy for his children's private education. How socialist of him. Hypocrite!

When are we going to see more important issues like PMJT being probed by RCMP for interference in criminal matters against SNC?

Yes AndrewScheer and you are an insurance broker, graduated from the University of Ottawa and are renouncing your American citizenship!

The truth be spoken. Now only if the news media be an advocate and tell the people facts.

Yeah we paid. Every one of those dollars was tax exempt as a political donation. I don't expect people would have been as willing to donate their money had they known it would be used to support his entitled lifestyle.

And you aren’t hounding the party executive for an official statement because...?

Now do Trudeau

LIES LIES LIES

Aaand we should believe him because.......?

good lord this so embarrassing can any political party do anything right.

Don’t know what Scheer did or didn’t do ... but this is just too crazy of an article choice — while Justin Trudeau and his whole family and a bunch of parasiteTrudeau buddies vacation in Costa Rica on Canadian taxpayer $$$ (again).

He had to try and keep up with the crooked government funded election traveling by TrudeauMustGo

Do you think you could ask Andrew if he could pay for my tuition with party donations as well? There must be some money left over from his kids.

I’ve seen this same post and article at least 10 times. I’m sick of seeing Scheer’s face. Fucking squish

pay back the kid's tuition

Get off the stage Scheer, you’re done.

While the laziest prime minister in history is jetting around burning as much fossil fuel as the hypocrite possibly can.

Unless this money came out of his income, it came from taxpayers. We are all taxpayers.

Oh you mean like we all paid for skippy to campaign pre writ for months?

Canadians were charged. Con donors claim their political donations when filing their taxes. Canadians paid for travel and his children's private school education. We could have paid for tax credit he would have introduced if he won for the schooling he didn't pay for cdnpoli

Would the press please stop investigating Sheers expenses and find out what Trudeau’s spending cause that’s what the taxpayers are curious about. Bet it’s more and bet you can’t or won’t do o

Who is paying for Trudeau's Christmas vacation to Costa Rica this year?

He lies so easily

Goof

Where else does the gov get their money from?

he needs to return his children's' tuition to the tax payers now.

Huh? What does he think donors are? Unicorns?

Oh...so that makes it OK!!😡

You will probably utter the name Justin with your last breath. Somehow you deflect to Justin again. So sad and pathetic. Your office expenses were more than the PM’s this year and it was paid by the taxpayers. How’s that work?

I get a little bit of taxpayer money paid to me each month but for the past 22 years I've been certifiably & systematically deemed far to insane to be able to hold any type of regular job! I have the granddaddy mental illness of them all, CIA induced psychosis (schizophrenia).

Party's over Scheer just fucking leave already

Thanks Andrew for bringing 'BlackFace' to light. You will always be loved for that. God Bless u.

Wow. Can you imagine if put this much effort into GropeGate and Blackface where we might be? $600,000,000 goes a long way with Canada’s MSM.

Frivolous Travelling at tax payers expense is part of the job description for UCP leader’s!!! Selfish waste at the expense of tax payers! While cutting essential public services. Fiscal responsibility is the job of all Canadians except UCP

Scheer isn’t a conservative!

Can we also do a probe into Trudeau’s partisan travel expenses

Indirectly we were. Contributions are tax deductible.

What a squish!

lying liar

RCMP Still hasn’t paid and will not pay back the 50K for Trudeaus trip. But let’s talk about Scheer. CTV news meme::

Now do Trudeau
