That ought to be part of the Package. The taxpayers pay for cabinet ministers to have limos and they can drive. How does this differ from a P.M. and spouse who need to attend to government business. What would Rona like them to do, leave the kids with a couple of RCMP security officers? lets get real. as the p.m. of this country he is entitled to child care. the argument people are making regarding his comments previously are very different from this issue. This is about a leader and what he needs to do his job. Lets remember Steve took that limo to India. who paid for all that make up and hair express stuff. Who took care of what when Steve and his wife were at the P.M.'s residence? <br /><br />if this is the best Rona can throw at Trudeau, well I guess she is desperate.

I quit after two days after being asked to invent a story about a UFO landing in Nevada. But I'm not inventing the story about Ambrose. It is grotesque to drag the Trudeau kids into a story for no good reason. As I mentioned in my post it is an attempt to conflate a story about tax policy involving hundreds of millions of dollar, and the expenses of a prime minister's household. And it is an attempt to demean child care. Maybe I wasn't clear enough, but if you don't believe me then please read this story by the excellent lawyer Brenda Cossman.<br /><br />http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-debate/because-its-only-2015-trudeaus-childcare-still-considered-his-wifes-job/article27577153/<br /><br />Then ask yourself why are some NDP supporters so bitter and rancid that they hate Justin Trudeau more than the Cons do?
