Posted by news | Filed under All News Stories, Politics
Prime Minister Stephen Harper is taking some heat for using a government jet to fly to Boston for Game Four of the Stanley Cup Final. Harper, his daughter Rachel and Heritage Minister James Moore saw Vancouver lose 4-0 to the Bruins. The Prime Minister, who isn’t allowed to fly on a commercial aircraft, says he’ll pay back the value of a regular airline ticket. However, many complain that won’t come close to covering the $11,000 per hour cost of flying the Challenger.
