Freeland's limo drives empty to Montreal, while she flies there.

She is the Deputy Prime Minister. Christ, give it a rest.

Wrong.

She is the Deputy Hypocrite. This country has no real leader.

It defies all reason that you would give the liberals a pass on their 'Rules for thee, but not for me" policy.

And how stupid is it to bring one's personally-expensed activities into comparison with those of someone on the public teat?

How stupid- can anyone quantify that?

After Trudeau’s 2-3 week Christmas bender in Costa Rica with private jets continually heading back and forth is any of this surprising? He takes a similar holiday involving jets, helicopters, boats every chance he gets whether it’s Tofino, Bahamas or wherever else Aga Khan has islands.

Rules only apply to taxpayers without Liberal connections.

And if she flew commercial, would not that plane fly that route regardless whether Freeland was on the flight or therefore the environmental impact of the plane is the same regardless if she flew or drove.

I just love logic. So now, according to this rationale, none of us are doing any harm to the environment by flying to a holiday destination, since the plane is flying there anyways, no need to buy carbon offset credits anymore. I'm trying to figure out if the same applies to the natural gas I'm burning for heat and grain drying, it is there in the pipeline whether I use it or not, and if I don't use it, it will have to be flared off, since it can't be stored in any reasonable volume.

It sounds more like animal farm all the time, some animals are more equal than others. Or animal house, hard to tell...

AF5 you are smarter than this. You know very well my comment was in direct response to a comment re environmental impact by a specific Freeland flight made by Bucket (which I quoted) My comment has nothing to do with flying by the general public. To take my words out of context and apply them to holiday travel by the general public is ridiculous.

Read your previous comment again. You excused her flight since the plane was flying anyways.

Meant to reply with quote, not "like" your quote. Oh well...

Perhaps the larger issue is that the ticket wasn't free - paid for by us. And the limo was going to the same destination anyway.

Short distance flights costing $800+?

Regardless, more bad optics that the hypocrites present.

The liberals do this to rub it in to yous !

They don't give a **** about the climate !

Well at least not if it affects themselves personally...

Like the Oxford students who were protesting the college's investment in O&G. Said they weren't leaving the place until Oxford sold its 8 million pounds worth of shares in oilcos.

The good Professor Parker responds with “I am not able to arrange any divestment at short notice,” he wrote. “But I can arrange for the gas central heating in college to be switched off".

LOL! Whaddiya think the students might have replied?
