Honestly, $5000 to $10000 a year on dinner expenses doesn't seem bad to me. The fact that they don't document WHO was at those dinners is far more - Andie May 24, 09:44 1
- That's really the issue, but dollar amounts get traction -- nm - Roger More May 24, 09:52
wait, what? (googles) -- nm - Andie May 24, 09:34 13
- There's a story about the Liberal leader's riding association entertaining guests at fancy steakhouses - Roger More May 24, 09:37 6

    - It seems like the kind of place where, to spend $9K in a single mean, there has to be a bunch of people present - Guigue May 24, 10:00 3
      - Exactly, it would have to a larger scale event. It's just stupid that the party can't find it on a calendar or something and say "oh, that was when we - Andie May 24, 10:04 2
        
        Or it knows exactly what it is and the answer is worse than the press they're getting now. -- nm - spamlet May 24, 10:42 1
