So do you think personally that she needs more help on the taxpayers dime?

Definitely not.............as I have no inkling as to what the extent of her responsibilities are. So I don't have enough information to make a judgment. Since you don't think she warrants more money, you probably have a lot more information than I do. Does anyone here have a list of her duties & responsibilities?

I'm sure she is too, but is there a chance, you think, that she may have been brought up in an environment which would have led her to believe she has a few special entitlements? :)

She has none. She is the wife of the PM. My understanding is she is fund raising for the Lieberal party. Not an official duty by any stretch of the imagination.

How does she compare with any other mom in Canada?

She probably entertains a lot more and probably has a role in a few charitable causes. I have no desire to make light of the woman.

The US is not set up the same way Canada is. We do NOT have a First Lady.

Officially speaking you are totally correct. Still, she may be under just as much pressure!

Let's politicize her position why don't we? :)

I know a lot of women that entertain a lot and so some volunteering for charitable causes... Should they have the Federal gvt pay for a full staff provided for household responsibilities in addition to 'additional personnel' to help manage their affairs?.. Maybe throw in a couple of gvt paid nannies to help in that area too?

How about opening up the PMSO in the East Wing?

The "Prime Minister's Spouse's Office".

The Liberals are back in town! There's something for everyone!

Oh yes I remember the screaming when Mila decided she was Canada's Queen and did the same........and Canadian taxpayers did pay for her fun times....


Much debate has taken place over whether taxpayers should be paying for her suite of four offices on Parliament Hill, equipped with a staff of three, since the first lady position in Canada isn`t as formal as it has become in the U.S.

Yes I agree but the 'conservative old stockers' have to calm down and quit frothing at the mouth every time they see an imaginary calamity about to occur and remember that they have done the same before....and that there are more important and costly issues happening and about to happen to Canadians...

If Mila was the last PM's wife to do it, then there is plenty of precedence for the current PM wife to not do it.

I can get you in touch with about 80,000 people from Ft Mac that are under just a wee tiny bit of pressure... Who do you think really needs the help more?

Stop being such a hypocrite, you and Flossy wailed like scalded cats each and every time that he did something (anything) not consistent with your ideology.

Now that Trudeau is making a mockery of the PMO, all you have left is to reach back 20 or so years and try and divert the attention.
