Unelected senators expense taxpayers for booze, fine dining, disco, and much more…
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation caught unelected senators expensing you for thousands of dollars of booze.
Plus, the Senate expensed you for fine dining, minigolf, disco and they spent thousands on gifts.
Senators increased their hospitality expenses 67 per cent in one year!
Expenses are supposed to be used sparingly and for crucial work business, senators shouldn’t be using expenses to increase their taxpayer-funded perks.

THIS NEVER HAPPENED UNDER HARPER
Not surprised, almost everyone in parliament, abuse tax funded expense accounts
DISBAND THE UNELECTED CANADIAN SENATE..TOTAL CORRUPTION..
How many lap dances does that buy?? Asking for a senator.
Keep up the great work..
I guess politicians don’t have any conscience. Canadians continue to struggle, yet the out of control spending is getting worse.
Unacceptable 😮 We have a K shaped economy where young people are getting screwed 😢 This is how we get radical right movements promising to do something but just fill there pockets. Responsible government and you won't get it unless the people push 🫸
Abolish the Senate or let us vote for our own representatives
We NEED a protest. We NEED a prominent person(s) or ??? to start this. From coast to coast, all over Canada. Canadians protest for Palestine, against Iran etc, but we won't protest for ourselves in OUR country. Crazy.
Unelected should not be allowed until voted in this should be against the law just like floor crossers not until elected in!!!!
While The Government is running some 80 Billion dollar deficits, while many Canadian Citizens, are struggling to keep a roof over their heads, and food in the cupboards, this is absolutely sickening.
Can we not stop paying for food and booze? This is wrong
In my opinion Or from fords wine cellar where all the USA liquor removed from the shelves that the tax payers already paid for wHere did all that liquor go if not fords cellar!!!!!
How much do senators cost us every year? Salaries and expenses?
So now they will give out $50 gift cards – several of them – they wont stop their grift.
The hits keep coming with reckless and careless spending. The entitlement of these bureaucrats while the people who are paying for all this garbage spending struggle more and more all the time.
Rant all you like …NOBODY is doing anything about yhis abuse. We need real reform but this will NEVER happen under our current government.
Everything has more than doubled. The guys love the smug taxation without representation. It’s alarming Canada has a big liberal problem
They need to get the same per diems as normal public servants. They need to pay for their own booze. What is their salary for? Pay for your own alcoholism.
The senate is nothing but a bunch unelected patronage appointed pigs at the trough. The Governor General is another overpaid political appointmet and then these weasels get ridiculous pensions.
Thos country is way past being in ruins.
I find the governments in Canada is a parents club. They use their children as an excuse to spend more but when it comes to discipline they blame they community and not the parents.
The example is restricting AI as from the shooting in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia. The parents let their children be out of control.
Thank you Jenn!
Inane
Great reporting but it won’t make a difference… Canada is a septic pool of liberal corruption with zero accountability for Canada’s slow destruction… elbows up the epitome of stupidity
REHAB is for quitters
You mean the Chinese senator who is working for China
Why do they even have a "hospitality" budget???
I so lack respect for all these entitle government installed people, so sickening that tax payers are fooled like this.
The jokes can write themselves at this point. I was taught in school that our senate existed to 'provide sober second thought'. How sober are they blasting through our taxpayer money buying booze?
NO HOPE. CANADA IS A NAZI DICTATORSHIP
It's money well spent if we can get these guys to hand Bananada to the WEF and the CCP!
Our government is full of drunken idiots.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
ABSOLUTELY SICKENING
Canada is cooked
Carnage isn't going to hold anyone responsible for this – he does it himself. All crooks.
When are we the people going to get our country back? RCMP are paid off..We cant arrest Trudeau & Carney as the accomplis for treason. All the unwanted & unneeded beuracrats are costing us & our children there futures. When does the Law come into play? We have 10 provinces & 3 territories. How many humans do we need actually to have our country operate like a company. We the people go bankrupt & they call it a deficit. April fools joke when they get their raises. Out of touch with reality! Is this a bad movie script?
In 1867, the BRITISH set up this “OLD BOYS’ COUNTRY CLUB” to concoct a façade of government oversight AS COVER for the DELIBERATELY RIGGED BRITISH-STYLE PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM they set up to MAKE-PRETEND a CONFEDERATION so as to FOOL Canadian SETTLERS into thinking they had SOVEREIGNTY and ownership of a BRITISH IMPERIAL RESOURCE COLONY. Canadians have NO PROPERTY RIGHTS and Canada is STILL A BRITISH RESOURCE COLONY. If you still think the British parliamentary “SYSTEM” is so great, have a look at the Dystopian state of the UK, Australia and New Zealand. How do you think Trudeau is still able to walk around free with all the money he stole from Canadians?
Time to get serious about running a successful country. Unelected leaders can only be self-serving as they account to no-one but the master who gave them the job.
This parliamentary system keeps Canada in servitude to the wealthy ruling class who align with the Crown of England.
Small countries said to hell with this system when they gained independence from the Crown. They formed Republics to determine their destiny. Canada remains a colonized nation.
This is pathetic. It needs to stop. I guess when Joley spent $50000 a month on booze they must figure they could do the same.
Huge expenses for a rubber stamp bunch of cronies. I could buy a rubber stamp at Staples for 10 bucks.
Senate is a joke and am tired of paying taxes to these grifters
Just wine and dine a priminister and you will become a senator wow corruption at its greatest
defund the senate. how much money do we save if we get rid of them?
