Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Liberals, thus far, are proving less than nimble in dodging their own dead-fall trap — which is, of course, entitlement. And it is the narrative Trudeau’s Liberals are now feeding, as they rack up a list of spending mini-scandals they could easily have avoided, with the application of humility and common sense. Liberal House Leader Bardish Chagger’s attempt Wednesday to turn a query about PMO spending into an ode to the middle class drew peals of laughter from the opposition, as well it should. The Liberals could reimburse all staff moving expenses above a reasonable benchmark — say $20,000 — from party funds. Then, they could impose a hard cap on future moving expenses.
