What ever happened to fiscally responsible conservatives, as we've been seeing recently there was a huge contract awarded by the federal conservatives to Irving Shipbuilding of $288 million to just look at building a new class of Arctic patrol vessels, most of the actual work to be done in Denmark and the US, $3.1 billion dollars just disappeared and recently appointed senators like Duffy and Wallin have been scamming us for thousands of dollars of illegal expense claims...while the PMO does whatever it can to cover it up like having Harper's chief of staff cut $90,000 checks to try and end investigations while conservative senators whitewash reports on it.
On a more personal note, conservative MPs like Eve Adams nickle and dime us as much as they can for all sorts of stuff the rest of us are expected to pay for from what we earn.

The 2011 campaign of Conservative MP Eve Adams is trying to claim $2,777 in personal expenses, including salon visits and dry-cleaning costs, as her campaign works more than two years after the election to close the file.
There are also multiple entries for costs incurred after the May 2, 2011, election, including a purchase three weeks later at Glitz Cupcakes for $2.63 and several restaurant charges as late as July 11, 2011.
Eve Adams's campaign also tried to claim a May 18, 2011, dinner at Hy's Steakhouse in Ottawa as a "victory party expense." The dinner, including a half bottle of champagne, cost $201.95, with a $26 tip. That expense is among the $6,003.34 in corrections that Peter Adams said in April he will repay, as it is "not an election expense."
The list of victory party expenses includes $250.05, including the $28 tip, at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, and $344.73 at Bristol Bar and Grill on May 3, 2011. The Ruth's Chris Steak House dinner is also to be repaid.
The expenses also included $327.50 in traffic tickets incurred by Peter Adams.
A separate list of expenses, filed following the campaign, covers $2,777.48 in personal expenses for Adams, including:
$260.71 for Shoppers Drug Mart.
$166.11 for dry cleaning.
$424.80 for the Davinci Salon and Spa.
67.28 for personal items.
Adams, who represents Mississauga-Brampton South in Ontario, took to Twitter to explain the costs. Some of it covered hand soap, mouthwash and toothpaste for volunteers, who work 16-hour days, she said.
