in opposition to public health guidelines: as first set off by public reaction and expressed concerns over the international traveling ways of provincial MPPs, at least for now, as I'm aware, the NDP's 'Niki Ashton' is the only MP to reveal (or be 'caught') having left the country over the recent weeks/holiday period... with the ND party responding with a forceful public announcement that Ms. Ashton would be stripped of her opposition critic roles.
as
the reigning drama queen and victim-player, CPP MP Rempel showed impeccable timing by showcasing her pityPouting even before Niki Ashton's situation was recognized.
in the video linked above, BuffaloGal Rempel hearkens back to the early pandemic days and her many-months spent "working" virtually from Oklahoma - I do believe for some part of that period where Rempel was the member from Oklaberta, she did not make it public that she was actually out of the country. Again, reactive timing has MP Rempel railing against Ontario MPP Philips for, apparently, his compromising her ability to travel to see her hubby/family in OK! And also taking a rather predictable shot at, as she states, "vulturous CBC reporters" who would catch her doing so... even though it was the Toronto Star that first made her virtual antics public those many months back!
even though its provincial, how about a special shout-out to Alberta Premier Jason Kenney giving his (3... and counting) MLAs a pass... cause he personally didn't set a policy of 'no travel'... while also emphasizing no laws were broken!
